Update~
4 years ago
Ok so I know I don't post here often so I thought I would give everyone an update.
So I've been struggling with doing anything for awhile now and it has effected a lot of things for me. Now I've always struggled to do things I need to do or keep up on myself since forever but it got pretty bad this last year. I was struggling to remember to eat, clean, take care of myself, I would zone out when listening to my husband and completely miss out on parts of the convo and the one that hurt the most was I was struggling to art. Now that didnt stop me from working it just made me very slow. I would have days where I could get a lot done and then weeks of pushing through each stroke. Now it was 2 years ago I finally realized that I may have ADHD but couldnt get help due to not affording to. The more I read and saw what others posted the more I realized that I could very much have it. Finally went to the doctor this year and got meds. I've been on it for a month so far and I found myself zoning out a lot less. I've been able to stay focus on art for longer periods when Im not hyper focused on it. I can motivate myself to move and do things a little easier then before. I still have issues but its hard to break something that I've developed unhealthy coping for so Im trying my best to get myself on a schedule.
Now what does this mean for art? I will be closed till I finish all that I owe. Will be trying to post more constantly instead of posting art dumps. Then I will be trying to get myself going for merchandise while opening limited slots. I want to finally stop holding myself back cause Im too afraid to start. Now atm I am more active on my discord server so if anyone wants to join to keep updated regularly or a chance at some doodle slots when Im having a random doodle day your free to ask! Its also free to join for those that like to share any form of creative projects like art, photography, writing and etc. Share commission prices when your open or if you just want more people to commission. ~

I'm sorry to hear that things have been so tough on you for so long. It does sound like a pretty rough situation, indeed. I'm glad you were able to get some meds to help, though, and I really hope things can get back on more of an even keel for you. Fingers crossed and sending best wishes to ya!
