So I blinked again and suddenly it has been three months since I've really done anything furry-related. I've pretty much not drawn anything in that time or really engaged apart from occasional favorites. Likely no one is surprised since I do this a lot but I figured I'd at least do something of an update. Maybe I'll even draw something sometime, but we'll see.
I guess there's also something else I wanted to talk about, but it's kinda hard to word and it feels like I'm making excuses. But in a lot of ways it explains a lot of things about who I am/the way I am. Basically last summer my therapist recommended I get some testing done to figure out if there may actually be some sort of mental thing holding me back. I did this in September and it basically resulted in a diagnosis of mild asperger's syndrome/autism, which was what I was mostly curious about, but more surprisingly a diagnosis of ADHD (primarily inattentive) AKA ADD.
After reading up about it a lot of my struggles from childhood to now made more sense. My inability to focus on tasks I need to do most of the time and just overall difficulty with executive functioning. That's a bit of a basic description but I'm not sure how else to word it. But how that might relate to my time in the furry community is I sort of have trouble balancing my hobbies/interests and will often hyperfocus on certain sites for several months or so. So I guess having that diagnosis made that "cycle" make sense.
This was probably really jumbly but I kinda wrote it spur-of-the-moment so I didn't really have anything planned out to say. I just mainly wanted to let everyone know that I'm okay and hopefully will be active again, or at least something similar to active.
