I need support

General
TLDR: I need help, and also venting
I recently lost my job as a game dev, or rather was made to loose my job. To be honest, I’m not sure exactly what happened. All I managed to gather was that people were messing with my computer in the office, resetting it, turning it off, changing my network cables to ones of lower quality (I work remote connected to that computer using windows remote desktop). To that, also add some abusive treatment. For 6 months I barely was able to work and my coworkers kept piling up the pressure for results and blaming it on me. I think they tried to sell it to me as a joke, or a sort of “initiation”, but that was after everything imploded so who knows really. I ended up getting fired after I just stopped working not understanding what the hell was going on, hoping that someone would actually explain something, but they instead just kept going with the same vibe. I honestly kind of freeze up out of stress, I was on my last thread there.
That was around the time I started drawing again, I started on paper to help me calm down. Also to try to get back at finding commission, which has been a plan B for when I’m in between jobs, and hopefully full time at some point. My plan now is moving entirely to NSFW jobs, either game dev or art commissions. I’m currently “in between worlds” with my transition, I changed my name, have been on hormones for a few years, but I don’t really pass. So it’s proven difficult x2 to find a job. The problem is I only have a few more months of savings before I run out.
If you could spread the word, it would really help me. I’m not exactly the best artist right now but I do take commission more seriously than my own work. So, if you know anyone that wants some commissions at lower prices, or someone needing a programmer for a game I would appreciate if you can let them know I’m here. Thanks for reading.
