I'm making a return from what feels like a long, long absence. For the first time in a very long time, I'm feeling more like myself again. Granted, my health issues aren't 100% gone, but without going into TMI detail, I'll just say it's going to require likely a few more doctor's visits to get it figured out. Mentally I'm doing much better. My anxiety is back under control again and I have not had a panic attack in a few weeks now. Physically there are still issues as I mentioned, but I'm on the mend overall. I managed to do some art finally! It's simple, but I realized I needed to start simple and work my way up to avoid triggering my anxiety again. For a while, every time I opened photoshop to look at my WIPs, I'd end up needing my panic medication to stop an episode. Some of that honestly stems from the fact that I used to be able to finish works much faster than I do now and I've been so hard on myself for not doing that now. Between having 4 kids, a house to maintain, and one of my kids being special needs, I just have less time and I need to accept that. I was once known for how quick I could finish art, but I hope you all can have patience with me as I work on myself, and be the artist that I am~~even if it means taking more time to finish works.
Please feel free to send me messages or comment! I want to know how everyone is doing!
