Hey everyone, still alive!
6 years ago
Howdy all,
This is an awkward post to write; I want to start off by saying I haven't quit making Predation, I've been working on this and that for it pretty consistently since my last posting and though I'm very painfully aware of how slow I am at this sort of thing, I can say with confidence I haven't given up working on the project and still very much believe in it!
The last few months have been trying, to say the least; anyone keeping track might remember I cut off an anxiety medication I was prescribed earlier in the year because it turned out the damned stuff was being reclassified as a controlled drug, and I know it's probably a bit trite to blame my lack of social contact on the ups and downs of dropping the thing but... well, at this point I think all of you can agree it's prompted something of a change in my behavior.
I mean don't get me wrong I've never really been able to process talking to people and being able to engage like I really should as a person doing a thing in public, but it's gotten such that in focusing on keeping myself able to work to some degree I've let a lot of things slide that I really shouldn't have done, at least without any sort of warning.
those of you in the Discord may have seen me relatively more often where the setting is more informal, at least as far as my brain goes, but even then I feel like I'm just not as able to not be overwhelmed by things and, invariably, I just tend to retreat to my little isolated animation cave and hope that when I eventually put out things that it will have been worth all the unwarranted silences and unprofessional ways of going about things.
If there's anyone reading this whom I've blanked at any point on discord or wherever, I apologize unreservedly; I suck at communicating anything about this stuff and I tend to just blank anything out in favor of my obsessions when things aren't going so good, but that hardly makes up for my cowering from people wanting to talk and I can only offer my apologies for not doing what I should be doing. I can't promise 100% because I'm an asshole but I would encourage anyone who that's happened to to re-contact me and I'll try and awnser anything I can, I don't want to be the kind of person who shuts themselves off from people and I hope I can prove by my doing that I'm trying to get back to some sort of state where I can work consistently and keep on top of things to the extent I can be chatty and exuberent and all that fun stuff.
Sorry for the ramble, hopefully that might shed some light on what's been going on. Thanks very much for reading!

Although, I agree that isolating yourself isn't the best thing, but if you do it sometimes when you just can't handle things, then it's okay
So just take it easy. Step by step <3
You got this!
And I'm glad to hear that Predation is still a thing. Although I never doubted that, it's nice to hear the confirmation ^w^
In any case, I fully support your taking charge of your health (Physical or Mental) and I'm glad your still pushing forward. I hope you find peace with your new regime, and if not remember there are countless options to use (Pharmaceutical or homeopathic). Having struggled with Mental Health issues my whole life, I absolutely understand on that front myself, and it took me almost 3 decades of my life to truly feel "stable".
And any issue should be taken seriously. Best of luck, M'dear.
Was wondering if there was a discord group chat about the Predation game
