Update!
5 years ago
Hey there everyone, its been awhile since i posted any kind of public update on things and i wanted to give a general update since things have been.. rough.. for a bit.
I want to start this out by saying i'm extremely sorry for the delays i've had in getting work completed over the last few months. My commissioners and watchers have been more patient than i could have asked for and it means so much to me. I appreciate every one of you more than i can express. ;; That being said, if any commissioners currently on the queue would like a refund, please shoot me a note and we can work those out privately and promptly. <3
I would like to give a warning that this journal will vaguely touch some topics some might find a little uncomfortable or triggering.
What's been going on:
While I'm not too comfortable going into too much detail at this time but i wanted to explain my complete disappearance for the last month and a half. My mental health has tanked severely, I'm used to shoving things back and forcing myself to work despite having been struggling for the better part of my life but tbh.. It's caught up with me and I'm having a hard time getting back on my feet again.
At the end of last month, after a severe spiral, my fiance and my roommate took me to the hospital to get the help i needed. Being hospitalized was.. definitely something i wouldn't want to go through again if i'm being honest... Once i was allowed to go home again I was put into an intensive partial hospitalization program where i've been for the last two and a half weeks. Working has been difficult while attending these all day sessions at the hospital and them constantly adjusting my medications. I'm finally out of the daily hospital program and I'm starting up weekly therapy to manage things as well as seeing a new psych.
I'm slowly trying to ease myself back into work but it won't be an overnight "Hey i'm back and we're gonna pretend everything is grand" kind of a thing. I'm coming to terms with how bad my mental health has gotten, and trying to process getting some not so fun diagnoses. Therapy and getting stuff sorted further is gonna be a process that i'll be going through for a long while. Everyone's continued patience would be greatly appreciated as i make steps to get back on track with commission work and life. Thank you for reading. ;; <3
As always I wish the best for you and those around you take care.
While this news is certainly pretty heavy, I'm glad to hear it sounds you're recovering! Just keep taking things slow and do what you gotta do! We all love your art and miss seeing you around but it's not worth sacrificing your health over!
Looking forward to seeing the journal where you're saying you're fully back to happy pup status! :D
years now, so Ive been pretty much in the same boat of having gone through the hospital and...yeah. I never want to see another hospital again in my life. Sadly it felt like they didn't really do anything for me besides ask me 20 questions. Recommended a partial hospitalization I couldn't afford, etc. Ya know. The whole nine yards.. anyways. Please always stay strong. I know its hard as shit to get through it. And know that you're not alone.
Take care and be safe :)
