Life Update
10 years ago
Been a bit since I updated here, so gonna post what's been going on and why there's been so little art/activity from me lately.
Winter was hard on me -- I got officially diagnosed as chronically bipolar (this is something I've known personally for years, but having an official diagnosis makes my craziness seem less crazy, if that makes sense). Usually my depressive periods lead to manic times where it's All Art All The Time but this year I sunk REALLY low, far enough that help was needed. That's what my last "Minor Delay" post was about -- when your mental health starts to affect your physical health, it's time to see someone.
After filling my prescription for brain drugs, I found out...I got a job. I've been applying to jobs off and on for the past...six months or so? Basically because a steady income is a beneficial thing, and as much as I enjoy drawing furry art as a job, the money wasn't steady. I'm still getting readjusted to working 9 to 5 again, but I'm actually getting out of the house on a daily basis...which is a significant improvement over most of the winter. And my Vitamin D levels are back to normal too, huzzah.
(Also, it needs to be noted: after having 3 jobs that were pretty hard on me [including one that involved a boss who stalked me after I left], I seem to have gotten one that's not. I'm sort of amazed and a bit awestruck, but I'm also still waiting for the other shoe to drop...I have career PTSD =p)
So I'm not ready to declare myself fully back-in-action yet -- I'm still feeling pretty hesitant about streaming again, for instance, because my social anxiety has turned into a beast that chews on my brain -- but I did want to explain what I've been up to and that yes, I am doing okay, things are just in a bit of a flux right now (but the good kind) :)
I'm also going to post a list of outstanding commissions! If you are expecting art from me and are NOT on this list, please comment/Note/email me about it, and I will add you. Also major apologies for forgetting you if I did!
