Hey everyone! I decided its been long enough on both accounts that I should probably bring people up to speed and mingle a bit!
This month has been Insanely difficult for me, on the 31st I received a call from my father Regarding my Grandfather who passed away peacefully in the company of his loving wife. around 2:15 or so. Prior to this I was trying to put together travel plans for my birthday (the 16th). The Visitation funeral and week was later that week, also lining up on the same days as the local Celtic Festival, There was a lot of running back and forth due to my family always volunteering to help run the merchandise booth for the festival. After that was all said and done and taking time off for bereavel during the funeral I discover my hours are getting cut from about 24ish hours a week to 8 hours a week, This is a bit of a problem however due to the size of the town I'm in and the failing job market here I cant exactly find new work, or get a second job since in every case thus far there's ether no openings, or they offer the same hours and want me to work the same shift times as my other job, Clearly not good. *nervous laughin*
Aside from that I'm currently battling my own depressions, due to this hour cuts and costs from the funeral I've had to cancel my plans to travel and see friends the week of my birthday, They also aren't giving me any hours during that week despite my request to have them. So that's pretty damn shitty.
In regards to my art Its slowed down to an almost stand still since I hate drawing for just myself.. there isn't really a point in it anymore if I cant draw for others since I live for that joyful reaction I get afterwords. In fact I don't see much a point in going on physically.. I didn't mention this on my other account.. but I honestly don't know what i should do with myself.. friends keep telling me i might need medication but every trip to the doctor results in the same "drink more water, go for walks every day" I drink plenty of water in the day and walk an hour every day now but my mood, self views and opinion of my surroundings keeps rapidly declining.

Instead of drugs off the hop, try a councilor. Recently I have been seeing one myself due to unfortunate events in my life. It helps more then expected.
Sometimes a professionals in site is more helpful then a friends.
Keep your head up dude.
