Hello everyone!
Just as a note, these "small updates" are more of a personal nature. So if you're only here for the art and not the artist (which I totally get), not really for you! Anyway, moving on.
I've had a bit of a rough spot, not sure if it was noticeable or not. If you were unaware, I do have, and am fairly open about having, depression as well as a few forms of anxiety/panic disorder. Which culminates in not a lot of fun for me. Basically this is why sometimes I don't really talk much to the people who comment or note me. Sorry about that.
It's gotten rough. We were almost to the point of hospitalizing me, which is something I'm very kneejerk against because god knows what would happen there. Instead I've been in and out of crisis counseling here at my campus, which is a bit easier for me since it's something I've had to do before. We're working out a plan that'll allow me to finish up the semester, hopefully without further incident. This is good, considering I was 99.9% sure I was going to have to take a leave, go home, and take care of myself there.
On the bright side I've finally made an appointment with a therapist who can hopefully see me long-term, and who also specializes in gender issues. So maybe maybe I can hit a flock of birds with one stone here within the next few months.
So I'm not sure what's going to happen long-term, but I'll try to be around. And if I'm not, I'm just recuperating on the side. Which is hopefully understandable.

Be safe and feel free to post as much as you want on here. Especially if it makes you feel better (:
I wish you well and hope you finish the semester. When I was in a bad way a few years ago, having a goal like finishing a semester definitely helped me keep my head straight.
And yeah, that's definitely why I took the option of staying over the option of leaving. I know sitting at home I'd probably just stew in my own self-pity, which is never good.
yu do what ever you gotta do, everyone will wait for you uwu
it is good to know others have been through it and come out the other end, even though it sucks going through it in the first place
