Onto 2023!

Posted 1 year, 4 months ago by Abaddon

Dunno how long this bulletin will be, but to keep it short, I may not take many more commissions into the new year due to a ton of factors. I'm also sorry if anyone has messaged me and I haven't gotten back to them, I'll explain a little more below but it's all just personal issues from here on out so feel free to skip it!

It's been a rough year for me, especially within the last few months, and it's all taking a really bad toll on me. I won't go into any details, but just a lot of everything you can possibly imagine happening has somehow happened, and I'm not sure if someone put a curse on me or what lol.
I was doing well with some commissions, but I'm quickly finding myself burnt out. I've made sure not to take upfront payment since, well, I don't want anyone thinking I'm running with their money, but I can imagine waiting for a commission even if unpaid is frustrating, which is why I'm probably going to finish up what I have remaining (potentially giving them for free, it won't change my workflow regardless, and I don't even really feel comfortable taking money for them at the moment,) and probably not take any commissions into 2023. I told myself I would slow down at the beginning of this year, but I thought I was getting better with my mental health and that's clearly not the case.
My mental health has been on a massive downward spiral and after multiple breakdowns, I'm finding it hard to even talk to people on Discord or even in real life. I'm drained, and I feel like I'm losing myself. I want to work on personal things more, art and otherwise, which is why the most you'll most likely see from me is adoptables. I'll still be around and doing things, but likely a lot more quiet (even though I'd say I'm very quiet as is) and maybe not there as much. I've spent a lot of my years online, so I guess it's just time I do something about reality.

Again, I'm really sorry if I haven't replied, taken days to reply, etc. I'm just doing very, very poorly at the moment, and I won't go into specifics but things just aren't good in the slightest, and I guess to put it simply, I'm really depressed! But here's to hoping 2023 is somehow better, and maybe things will reach an equilibrium and I'll do commissions and stuff again, I dunno. Thanks for reading ♥

Thank you so much ;v;

Take care of yourself first snd foremost! Im here if you ever need to vent! 

I'm so sorry to hear you're struggling right now, I know we haven't spoken but if you need to talk to someone who is far removed from everything, I'm a message away! Focusing on yourself is a great thing to do and I hope you start feeling like it's a bit easier to breathe soon angel <3
