Life Update / June Pause

Added 2022-05-26 18:49:58 +0000 UTC

Hey everyone <3

Hope you're able to hang in there despite all the horrific news lately.

I just wanted to give a little update on how I'm progressing with my mental health at the moment. Art has still been difficult to do, but I'm making progress on little things every few days. Just not as much as I'd like.

As such, I think it's only fair I put another pause on for June until I can fully get back into the swing of things and be able to deliver art in a regular manner again.

Things kind of took a turn for the worst these past few weeks and I'm likely going to be seeing an entire internet hiatus for at least a month. I'm starting a medication that heavily sedates me that may take me a while to get used to (up to 8-12 wks) so I likely won't be super responsive anyway while I adjust again. Last time I was on this medication I was sleeping for 14-16 hours, which I need currently. I've scheduled for therapy, too, but it's not until the end of July.

I know this may be a lot to take in, but I like being open and honest about mental health as I think it's important for others to know that they may not be alone in this. A lot of us are struggling right now, and it's not always easy to get the help you need. I truly hope if any of you are in a similar boat that we ought to trust there's a light at the end of the tunnel, even if we can't see it. It's not much, but it's the only thing I have right now.

I apologize greatly for not being able to draw and share with you my ideas currently.
Good luck out there, everyone, and stay safe & cool during this upcoming June.
Hope to be back soon and share art again!
