My Inactivity and battling depression
8 years ago
( This discuss my struggles with depression. Read with caution.)
I was sent a few messages of concern about my sudden disappearance on some social media sites. I'm writing this Journal to let everyone know that I am fine and I'm currently battling depression. I basically had depression my whole life due to bad experiences and the combination of having bipolar. I usually can handle it just fine, but depression hit me hard at the beginning of this year. My motivation was gone and I barely had any energy to get out of bed. My mind either felt foggy or my thoughts were constantly racing. There were also panic attacks and thoughts of suicide. Its amazing how time flies when you're depresses. It hasn't been this severe for years.
I am seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist. Ive been seeing them for awhile and I'm finally on antidepressants that helps me. When you have bipolar it can be difficult to prescribe the right antidepressants without it backfiring and making you feel worse. I'm thinking clearly now and slowly gaining my motivation back.
If you go check my twitter you'll discover that a few weeks ago I saved a kitten from drowning and nursed him back to health. Kittens that young are high maintenance, especially if you're raising just one without any siblings. We named him Flick, but I keep calling him Bubba. He's ready to find a forever home!

Over the course of months I have been working and finishing commissions, mainly icons. I just haven't been uploading them because I've been a mess. I don't like sharing this much to the public about my life, but I do feel its important to talk about your struggles and not be ashamed of doing so. Thank you everyone for sending your concerns! I'm confident enough to say I'm recovering and slowly getting back into things I use enjoy.
