Public Service Announcement. by Thaily

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this publicly, but since this is affecting commissions I think I ought to.

I have some health issues I'm not going to go into detail over that require me to take a lengthy course of medication that has some serious side effects. Three of those are chronic exhaustion, insomnia and depression; I was already prone to those conditions, so it's not unexpected that they occur (recur) but I had finally gotten a handle on those after uhm, most of my life. So it's incredibly frustrating that they are back for the duration of my medication, which I'll be on 'till the end of this year.

Effectively this means that, for customers, I'm not getting things done as fast as I previously was. I feel really shitty about that and if customers want I will of course provide (partial) refunds. I still work on commissions every day, but it's really hard to concentrate and knuckle down, so it takes longer. Especially since I don't want to sacrifice quality to move things along either.

Unfortunately they just sort of sprang this on me, so I couldn't warn customers ahead of time. Honestly they should have given me this medication years ago, but I wasn't made aware until I switched both my GP and the hospital I go to after being unhappy with the service of both (or rather, their lack thereof). On one hand I'm relieved I'm finally getting adequate care, but on the other I'm really frustrated it took this long for me to get said care and that I'm going to be really tired and upset and sad for the coming months.

    Argh, sorry to hear that. Especially with such mixed benefits and drawbacks. I hope in the long run it's all worth it and that you'll able to pull out of it when all is said and done.

    Take your time and take care of yourself Thaily. I trust you'll get my commission done once you're feeling better. Just glad to hear you're getting proper treatment for your depression now.

      I'm not being treated for depression, the medication for something else is causing it.

        Ahh, apologies for misunderstanding. Sentiment more or less remains the same. I don't mind waiting longer if it means you taking care of yourself.

          You're already patient, that's all I need, thanks. I really can't put my life on hold for this.
