Struggling
Added 2023-08-31 17:34:25 +0000 UTCI'm having a really tough time mentally trying to get work done. I was diagnosed with ADD when I was in middle school and took medication for it briefly. I felt it stunted my creativity at the time so I stopped taking it. I ended up dropping out of high-school and getting my GED because I couldn't focus on homework or the class.
At this point in my life my executive function is verging on a crisis. It's always been a struggle but this month has been the worst. I'll have good months and then a bad month where I just can't do anything for patreon. It's weird to describe but I feel like I'm screaming in my head to make my body do things and it won't. I'll get everything loaded up to work and grab my stylus, look at the half finished page and then put it down. I don't understand it. I'm tired of it and I'm certain you are too. I am going to seek professional help and try to find a medication that will help me get things done. No amount of anxiety or stress is pushing me to act like it has in the past. I just want to be able to sit down and finish things. It shouldn't be this difficult. I'm exhausted from it.
There's more I could get into but I'll leave it at that for now. I'm not lazy. I just have an issue with my stupid brain that's hindering me from following through with certain tasks. It's incredibly frustrating and depressing.
Obviously there will be no charged posts this month. I will make it up to those that were charged for the two pages and animation from the end of last month. I'm sorry I disappointed you. I'll find a professional tomorrow and make an appointment. With the right medication and better habits I think I can get back to a regular upload schedule.
I hope everyone is well and I'll have good news soon.

2023-10-02 21:28:40 +0000 UTCI’ve got a similar situation of dealing with ADD, it makes the simplest things frustrating at times. But through counseling and medication I’ve managed to live with the unique nature of my mind scape. Still can be frustrating as hell at times, but nevertheless I’ve learned to carry on. Love your content by the way.👍🏾

2023-10-02 02:43:03 +0000 UTCHave you tried lions mane mushrooms? They aren't psychedelic. It's just a supplement that really helps boost my cognitive functioning after several life changing head injuries. Nfl players who are somehow depressed with millions after a decade of concussions swear lions mane helped them be happy and think more clear and concise. I've watched my brain go from foggy to functional over the last few months. It's worth a try. I struggle too. I hope you get better or find happiness.

2023-09-04 06:42:41 +0000 UTCTake as much time as you need. Sometimes a break is the only way to rediscover inspiration. I think motivation is good, but inspiration is even better. Maybe because even if one has motivation, it can still be a struggle to focus. But if one is inspired, it's like being captivated by a passion project, and it doesn't take any fight to focus. But all that matters is if you're happy with it. To echo everyone else here, your well-being must take priority. Be well!

2023-09-01 01:21:03 +0000 UTCNever been diagnosed, but I can relate to that so much. You have the ideas, you have the motivation, you sit down and... your body just locks up and refuses to do it. And it can go on for weeks. Hope you find a way to get better, take care.

2023-08-31 23:24:36 +0000 UTCGet well and recover. I've told other artists the same, personally I'm here not only for the pretty art but for the artist as well, the person behind all the hard work/the stress/skill/time/etc. you're only human after all like the rest of us. You don't owe me anything and if you feels so inclined I ask only for one thing: get well and try stay healthy.

2023-08-31 17:57:28 +0000 UTCI too was diagnosed with ADHD in my youth. Among many other mental disorders such as Autism, OCD, and depression. My adolescence was a tumultuous experience of pain. When I was 20 I started working construction with my father. For 10 great years I worked for a great company and beside a person that understood my "peculiarities". Until 4 years ago the owner sold the business, the new owner gutted pretty much the whole company, fired my father, then me a month later, then my girlfriend of 10 years left me, then I learned my father was dying, then there was a global pandemic, then two years ago my father died, then last month I learned my mother is dying (3-5 years). It has taken years of medications, months of therapy, and the support of my loved ones to even be able to get up in the morning, let alone get something accomplished for the day. Frankly I don't understand how anyone gets anything done, even with incentives. I know the struggles of mental disorders, and I KNOW that you need to take care of yourself first and foremost. We, the fans, wouldn't be fans if we didn't wish you the best and know that you're health and well-being comes before anything you do for us. Take it easy, get yourself sorted out, find what you need, and when you are ready, we will be right here.
