health talk

Hey y'all.
So, I like keeping cheery and chill on social media since I don't wanna bring anybody down, wanna seem like a good place to go for warmth and smiles and all that. But I just gotta get this out somewhere so please be patient with me for a minute.
Late last year, shortly after graduation, my health mysteriously started to decline. Neither doctor visits or frustrated at-home experimenting with "well what if it's this? let's try solutions for that and see how it goes" made much progress, and it got to a point where I couldn't safely leave the house and my entire life had to be put on hold. Combined with already not being able to do much due to freshly diagnosed (but not freshly a problem--three years running now) nerve damage in my leg, I was in a pretty low place.
Just a few months ago, though, a breakthrough was made. The good news is now I know what to do and how to handle this moving forward, the bad news is there's a strong chance it's straight up a chronic illness I'll never really recover from.
(I don't wanna make any public statements about the exact illness until I get a proper diagnosis, which is...expensive. So that could take a while.)
But that's kind of where my motivation for life and art has been for a long while. I'm sorry for being a cryptid in social and artistic spaces. But things are starting to look up now, so I hope that all changes very soon.
Thanks for your time, guys. ♥
