Added 2024-09-16 09:22:21 +0000 UTCHey, guys. Here's an update on everything that has happened. I apologise for the lack of activity.
Health-wise, I'm doing way better than before. I've been doing some physical therapy so I can gain my mobility again since the rapid weight gain was tough on my body. I've also lost some weight and gained some muscle which is great progress. I still have a long way to go so I've been working hard to incorporate more physical activity into my daily schedule.
I've been doing alright mentally even though things have been bad. Losing so many Patrons and income in August and September set me back. Based on my statistics, I've had a $350 loss and went back to making lower than minimum wage. I'm earning around MYR1820 at the moment and I'm MYR1600 behind. This means I'm currently MYR1800 in debt after drying up my account to pay my medical bills. I also had to cover for family because of their mistakes but that's a can of worms for another day.
I'm currently working on drawing every day and creating a habit. I won't lie, it's been hard to fall in love with art again cause there was a part of me that felt defeated. It's hard not to feel defeated when your art pays your bills and you can't. I'm also trying to get all my commissions done as soon as I possibly can at the moment.
Don't worry, guys. I'm not giving up. It's just a bump in the road, a really bad bump but I know I can bounce back from this. I've been trying to practice more self-compassion and soft-discipline. It's been hard to unlearn being a bitch to myself but I have to do it.
If you'd like to tip me, you can do so here.
Thank you everyone for understanding. It's been hard but I'm improving and looking forward to more improvement.
