Life update and lack of art by Shadderstag

Last few months I've been going through some medication alterations, and not really for the better. I've been unable to concentrate, been having very poor sleep both due to nightmares/broken sleep and being unable to fall asleep/wake up at reasonable times, as well as having increasingly worse depression and anxiety, and that's just to name a few.

Needless to say, art has been incredibly difficult lately. Doing much of anything has, to be honest. I'm trying but everything's just kind of going from bad to worse. I dislike my dependence on medication but I'm even worse without it, so I don't have much of a choice.

Add onto all that my PTSD flaring up something awful as of late (directly contributing to the nightmares mentioned earlier) and I've been something of a mess. I don't normally post Journals like this, but I've been so unproductive lately that I felt I owed it to my Followers to give some kind of explanation.

I work when I can, but I'm at a pretty low point in my life right now. I'm sorry for the slow production rate of art. I really hope it's a temporary thing that I can work through soon.

That said, thank you to everyone for your incredible patience and kindness during this time. I really do appreciate it.

    I've delt with a lot of these issues myself. If you ever need someone to talk to I've always got an understanding ear

      Thank you. It's hard to talk about this stuff even with my fiance or close friends, but I definitely appreciate the offer c: I'm sorry to hear that you can relate though, no one should have to deal with these things :c

    Healing takes time, and you have to take as much time as you need, and I'm sure everyone undestands, its a hard situation. Art will come in time, I'm sure! Please do feel better, though!
