Getting on my feet! Life Update!
9 years ago
Hey guys,
first of all: OH MY GOD. Thank you all so so so much for all the help I've received, big and small! I was able to fully cover my electricity bill, my phone, and my rent this month. For a little review, I was struggling with anxiety and depression, was medicated for my anxiety but not my depression, and i was left with a crippling depression that made me unable to have any hope in myself or my art, so work had been way too difficult for me to do to sustain myself.
But, in the past couple of days I've been running around, paying my bills and getting my electricity turned back on. The only bill I have left is my internet but that's easily covered! I started a regimen to pay my bills by the 15th of each month, and my rent by the first, so I have a bi-weekly schedule to go on instead of a monthly one which will keep me on my toes. I'm gonna be in counsel with a few of my friends to make sure I have a good head on my shoulders.
For all the donation doodles, I'm gonna be doing little sketches, group pictures, and things like that, I am so freaking grateful, and thank you for understanding that I want to thank you when I can! Right now I'm a little preoccupied with getting my shit together (excuse my language), I don't want to get to that awkward point of being self-sustaining but needing donations... Nah. I work for my money, but I have to remember not to be afraid to ask for help because I have been doing this on my own for almost 6 years now. I'm not as young as I was or as eager, so I can't let my pride get in the way, and I'm just so super happy you guys helped me up an back up on my feet because to be honest, with all the drama and social anxiety I accumulated from this website, I had kind of lost hope or faith in people in general and truly believed no one would help me THIS MUCH. I'm really happy I was wrong, these past few days have been the lightest I've felt in years, nothing else matters but getting ahead because you guys gave me the momentum to keep going... the best respect I can give is to keep doing my art for you guys because obviously I am loved and supported.
For the donation doodles, like I said, your character could be in a group or solo, I'm just gonna be basically doing what I can and I appreciate everyone who understand that because I really, really needed this help, or I would have gone down an awful homeless path that I just don't even want to get my feet dirty on.
My depression feels lighter too because of this financial burden being lifted. All I can think right now is that I hope I get strong enough some day to make other people feel as loved and happy as they have made me here. <3

things like that just for the support anyones willing to give! (not paywalling)
Funnily enough Im in the same boat with it all ... Im currently being asked to leave my brothers place as I cant afford to live there atm so Im moving back with the parents and on top of that Im off to see a specialist about ASD because apparently I dont JUST have depression and that all the huge meltdowns that I have had over the years are somewhat linked to aspergers??
But Im glad youre getting back on your feet I really am :'D .. take it easy!! rooting for you! <3
:3
I'll be getting paid soon so I'll be glad to contribute something as a donation shortly. Hope things continue to get better and better for you :3
the medication makes me so ill.. i hate it. i was on 25mg and they are making me take extra pill every two weeks till i get to 100mg. X-x
glad things are getting better! hopefully your anxiety and depression get better as well, i know how much it SUCKS
Struggling with anxiety myself is tough, but you are so strong to be suffering Depression and Anxiety in the same bushel.
I look up to you for that, and want you to know that it's okay to admit needing help, and if someone looks at you funny for it. Then they've not yet been in a time where they've truly needed to ask someone for help, to realize how strong you have to be to do so.
Have a great rest of the week Falvie, can't wait to hear, and see more from you soon.
I like yours too! +watching it change+ :o
"At the end of the day, tell yourself gently;
I love you
You did the best you could today.
And even if you didn't accomplish all you had planned,
I love you anyway."
One day at a time. One task at a time. You can do this. We're here for you. :) It is possible to get better, you're not doomed.
I mean...ahem...Yay! Glad you are feelin' better! :D
In any case, glad you're not living under a bridge! X3
