A few moments ago reality truly hit me like a sledgehammer to the face. It is nobody's fault but my own.
I've been taking on loads and loads and loads of art and ignoring my mind and body's screams and cries for relief, for a break, for a breath. I'm so used to pushing myself just to move an inch against my chronic illnesses and conditions, that I get carried away and ignore my own red flags when for my own health's sake, I should stop.
Recently, my life outside of the net has been in far greater chaos and pain than it has been in a long time, and that's really saying something. My psychological health and physical health were horrible to begin with, but with all the issues with myself and, MOST OF ALL MY FAMILY, I've completely fallen into some kind of collapse/breakdown.
It finally struck me. I finally realized just how miserable I really am.
I'm not well.
SO AS OF RIGHT NOW I am not taking on any commissions, trades, and all FREE FUCKING GIFT PICS are to be considered cancelled (deal with it). THIS IS THE WAY IT IS, AND ALL NOTES WANTING COMMISSIONS WILL BE IGNORED.
FROM NOW ON, I WILL OFFICIALLY OPEN WHEN I AM READY TO TAKE ON COMMISSIONS.
I will ONLY take commissions when :
A: MY USERPAGE STATUS SAYS "COMMISSIONS OPEN/ ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS".
B: I POST A JOURNAL OR PICTURE OPENING FOR A YCH OR TAKING COMMISSION SLOTS. These will ALWAYS be labeled properly as OPEN, or CLOSED.
This is something I should've stuck to for a long time, but now it's official.
DO REMEMBER: I do vastly appreciate those wanting to commission me, supporters and enjoyers of my work, every view, fave, comment.
All this is is me having to do some self preservation for a while :(.
Thanks guys, here is hoping the storm passes sooner than later.

Meow? ...uhhh, I mean, hope you get better!
*Hugs*
So take all the time you need: take a break from FA, tend to the issues that need tending, and get your affairs in order. FA will always be waiting for you when you come back. :)
It's not like I really know you or anything, but I sincerely hope you get through this and at the very least, have something to look forward to doing each day.
Sleep at decent hours or rest otherwise
No arting till you feel better, any ideas spring to mind write it down, no doodles!
We’ll be here for you when you feel 100% yourself again, remember to take it easy
Please take care of yourself and take some rest and only do art for yourself at your own pace if you really must
You are an awesome person, i don't want to see you falling apart. I am here if you need me
I was wondering how you could keep your art this consistent.
Nearly everyday something new on your or someone elses page and it must be really hard to work like this.
I really hope you take good care about yourself and a long breather ^w^
Just know that no matter what, everyone here is here for you, and I'll always support you no matter what happens. You're a damn good friend, and all I want to see is you being happy, healthy, and wonderful. Just for right now, take care of yourself.
It felt like you were drawing ALL the time without even sleeping.
I'm glad you are stopping and take a breather and re-organizing your thoughts! Take care of yourself, not because of commissions but for your own sake :)
A healthy wuff is a good wuff!
Recover well!
.
I definitely understand the feeling of wanting to push aside your own health and keep doing things, but I'm glad that you're making the decision that'll be best for you!
You are definitely at the point that many artists reach where they say "You know what? Gift art/requests is a phase of my art career that is solidly in the past."
You need some you time.
If you're not doing well, there is absolutely no shame in stepping back and taking care of yourself, I think most people would more than understand. You work your ass off on all of your art and it's always a pleasure to enjoy, you more than deserve a mental/physical health break man. You're a nice dude, just do what you've gotta do
Dude, I love your art so fucking much, but I would be so much happier if I knew you were just... sleeping more often.
Your health comes before anything else.
