Description It hurts, but it's worth it.

~~~

Things have been... better.

It's a little like saying I'm not on fire anymore just covered in fire ants, but it's still better.

I've been feeling less suicidal, and, in general, been more stable. I went through another intensive treatment of TMS, which helped, especially initially, but flattened off sooner than hoped. Like many of us with mental health issues, the pandemics hit me pretty hard. One thing that's guaranteed to get me smiling is people. I love being around people, chatting, laughing, sharing, hugging. I miss my friends and community so much. I'm devastated conventions haven't been able to run, I miss so many of you. It's also means I haven't had any income either, I'm living back with my Dad now.

I’m slogging on, as I always do. I’ve survived the worst of it and am stronger for it. Things are still up and down, especially with seasonal depression on top of covid depression on top of good ‘ol regular depression, But while my mental health has made a relatively small improvement, it's made a huge difference to my life, most importantly it means I'm safe, but it also means I'm functioning on basic tasks much better now, keeping up hygiene and food and exercise and such.

AND I'm currently doing good enough to open my webshop! ~~You can find this as a Limited Edition Gold Foil Print, AND a full colour open edition print of this artwork, plus beautiful prints of all my other creations.

I loved drawing this one so much, I hope you like it too ^_^


And thanks, for keeping me in your thoughts and hearts. I haven’t given up on myself and so happy you haven't given up on me either.

Peace, Love and Shiny Things,

Blue x
