I've been silent and unreachable for a while now. Sorry about that. I suffer from seasonal depression, although thankfully it doesn't take the form of self-harm or desires to do so. It's more the "draw in upon yourself and avoid social contact" sort. I figured I'd already dealt with it for the year earlier on, but it had never really cleared up properly at the time and it's definitely worse now than it was earlier this year.

I don't know how much longer it'll last, but I do think it's fading a bit. I'm going to be taking things very slow, though, so apologies again if I still don't respond for a fair while.

Please don't send me notes or such about this journal. I really do appreciate the thoughts, and thank you for them, but like I said: I'm still in the "avoiding social contact" phase. This is more of a heads-up to some folks who I know have been asking around after me who I'd rather not worry.

I'll at least try to contact people who've messaged me about open commission work tomorrow, as I don't want to hold that up for them. I'll work towards replying to the rest as mental states permit.
