Mental health has been a bit squishy
2 days ago
Unfortunately this has been ongoing, but it’s been manageable up until these past couple months. I think that the monotone color scheme and lack of windows in our apartment is starting to really take its toll on my brain, especially now that I’ve been working from home.
I don’t like to get out of the house much in this town either unfortunately, as it’s just all around not the most pleasant and I’m a homebody anyway. I really, really miss being out in the country with the openness and big windows that my parents’ house has. I could at least be a happy homebody there lol.
This is unfortunately the reason why I’m such a snail. I’m constantly trying to distract myself from this weird suffocation so I can get my creative flow going enough to work on things, and normally I’d go off and do something to help with that. Since I’m away from my parents though I’m not around to tag along on those little breaks that I need, and my bf and roommates all work full time so I’m just alone all day.
Parents live like 45 miles out so it’s a bit of a drive, otherwise I’d just go hang out for a bit and come back. There’s a lot of mental turmoil with the idea of moving back in simply bc I obviously wanna live with my bf, but I think it may be the best option.
I also wouldn’t have to pay a crazy rent out there 😅 my bank account is a little sad rn, but I prefer not to advertise a bunch and take on too many commissions when I’m not at least completing a couple pieces a week.
I’m gonna have to try and wedge more adoptables in with the queue items but regardless work will continue as normal. I just kinda wanted to air out a bit I guess. I once again apologize for the wait on things, but I’m getting through them! Thankfully none of this has stripped the joy from working on art, I’m just constantly trying to fight off the dark and twisties now.

I also have some nice string lights, but I use them when watching a movie or something.
Just a suggestion as someone who's had some struggles as well. I sometimes force myself outside and find something to do even though it feels like there isn't a lot. Hope you feel better soon!
Thank you so much for your suggestion, this might be exactly what’s needed!
