Life Update
Added 2024-10-17 18:40:13 +0000 UTCHowdy all! I got some very sweet messages concerned if I'd been impacted by the hurricane, the answer is nope (and I'm super grateful for that!). I just wanted to pop in and apologize for the lull in art. I've been depressed ✨️. Fortunately I can feel it starting to lift (turns out healthy coping strategies do work! Who knew?), so we should be back to our regularly scheduled queer furries soon enough. As always, thank you all SO much for your patience and support. <3 I hope everyone is enjoying the autumn season, and I can't wait to get back to making art for you all. ❤️

2024-10-18 15:10:27 +0000 UTCI've actually gotten into ceramics. :) I make little figures and frige magnets while I listen to video essays. It gives me an outlet when drawing feels too insurmountable

2024-10-18 15:09:47 +0000 UTCA good way to keep the depression away is Imaru Room on YouTube. She's a cooking channel. It helps to turn my brain off.

2024-10-18 01:22:36 +0000 UTCoh yeah, i understand the beast that is PMDD. an actual life and death battle every month, but not even from the pain of cramps and so on (though that certainly doesn't help), its the pain from the MIND. luckily my friends are now used to me trying to cut off all contact and delete every bit of my existence every month and/or wanting to delete the existence of everybody else on the planet. we call it "werewolf time" because i just turn into a monster ASJDFKL im glad i have such understanding friends but PMDD is definitely not easy on anyone, not the one experiencing it and not the ones around them (especially if you have the barely-able-to-mask-the-rage autism like me lol.) i have to let everyone i live with know when it's That Time because it's just that serious how awful i get. and the funniest part is i forget about it almost every month and go "wow i suddenly really want to die, all my mental health training has been for nothing...oh wait" im glad you've been feeling better, please always take as long as you need to work on your mental health!

2024-10-17 22:42:12 +0000 UTCtake care!! :( I needed to take magnesium and B2 regularly to cope w my own hormonal cycles so i understand the struggle (migraines mostly, but i pmdd'd too occassionally)

2024-10-17 21:08:35 +0000 UTCThe paranoia! I can't trust my own brain around PMDD time. I fully understand how postpartum psychosis is a thing. :( Yes, it's NOT normal to experience extreme emotional swings as part of your cycle. Definitely look into PMDD. For some people I've heard antidepressants and/or birth control can ease symptoms.

2024-10-17 21:07:48 +0000 UTCFor all my body/hormone issues thankfully for my pmdd isn't one of them, I just have the normal brand clinical depression

2024-10-17 20:00:46 +0000 UTCHappy you're pulling out of it I know it's hard as hell! Also going to look into this pmdd, this crazy intense depression, crying, insomnia, isolation, almost paranoia I get when my cycle comes I thought was just part of the regular struggle 🙃🫠
FancylionFarts
2024-10-17 19:57:11 +0000 UTCAs someone who struggles with depression I know how hard that can be. I hope you feel better soon. I'm glad that you didn't get by the hurricane though.

2024-10-17 19:50:37 +0000 UTCUgh god yeah my partner has what we suspect is mild PMDD. Going on testosterone has helped him a lot in that respect but that's obviously not a solution that everyone Wants to take. It sucks that there's not much that can be done about it :/ 🫂

2024-10-17 19:33:51 +0000 UTCBUT LITERALLY 😭😭😭 LIKE I DEADASS THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR SO LONG (nope, my reproductive bits just hate me!!) The crying all day or feeling intensely like I need to unalive for at least three days, trust me when I say I empathize to a horrible degree. The fact that there's basically no relief from it at all is so draining, and all my thyroid has done is ramped it up to an insane degree. I'll be losing my mind and angry and miserable and hating myself and everything so intensely, and then I'll go to the bathroom and have the TINIEST bit of relief when I realize what's causing it. But God, having to go through it every cycle is torture. I'm glad you got a chance to vent a little (well, both of us really I think 😭), too. And it's my pleasure, things are hard as it is without even factoring in disability and/or mental health, it's all I can do to give my well-wishes where I can because godddd shit is rough rn.

2024-10-17 19:25:33 +0000 UTCHonestly I could cry at meeting another person who has it! People think it's just period woes, like PMS where you're maybe cranky and eat a lot of ice cream. But it's not. PMDD is a monster and it turns me into someone I don't even recognize. It's a mental illness and should be treated as such. I have to track it because I literally can't trust my own thoughts during episodes. I've had days where I physically cannot stop crying, and that's a very frightening thing to experience, not to mention exhausting. It feels so absurd, like Mr Meeseeks from Rick & Morty, where I have to smile and be friendly-perky at work while actively wanting to be dead. And there's no real treatment for it! It's like you said, total despair every month, no cure, no relief, nothing to do but wait it out. Ugh. Anyway, thanks for the well wishes, I appreciate it. ❤️

2024-10-17 19:07:25 +0000 UTCPlease take all the time you need but I am glad to hear it’s starting to lift! It’s such a horrible thing to go through. I hope nothing but positivity for you!!

2024-10-17 18:50:59 +0000 UTCOh take all the time you need! As someone that it again with therapy cuz reasons, I totally get that you need time to heal and for you. How frustrating is that hormones are involved, I also get those and aren't fun at all, so coping mechanism (even if people think that are weird or childish, cuz oh gosh people need them) really help even if just a little. I hope everything goes well, take care, don't rush nothing, just focus in what you need and send you good vibes from here 🤗

2024-10-17 18:47:42 +0000 UTCSo glad to hear that, hun! Your health always comes first!

2024-10-17 18:45:48 +0000 UTCI'm glad to hear that you're safe, and doing better. I feel you on PMDD, my cycles always throw my mind in a loop and once a month I am UNWELL. Or it used to be once a month before the Hashimoto's diagnosis, now it's kind of just whenever it wants. But I remember for the last few years how it felt to be in despair every month. It sucks, a LOT. I wish you ample rest and spoons, thank you for keeping us in the loop 💕
