UPDATE (Patreon)

Hi there!

Thank you all for your private messages, well wishes, and patience.

I'm so sorry for my absence; these past few weeks have been truly frustrating. I haven't been feeling well physically, and this has also affected my mental health.

I don't want to go into too much detail about everything that's led to this point, but after insisting to my GP and at the ER that what I was feeling wasn't anxiety and that I wasn't getting better with just paracetamol and rest, they finally prescribed antibiotics, and I finally feel like I can breathe and I'm pain-free in my back and chest.

At the same time, I'm now dealing with how badly my digestive system is handling the antibiotics and with the mental strain the whole situation has caused, both from having to go so many times and being treated as if I'm exaggerating, and from the stress of feeling unwell and being disconnected from my work.

I'm sorry I haven't been more communicative. It's difficult for me, as I don't usually like to talk much. It was hard to read over and over again that what my GP was telling me didn't make sense, and on top of that, I had to keep getting questioned about the surgery for which I STILL haven't been called and which I can't do anything about 😅

The public healthcare system moves at its own pace, they don't provide information, and the patient has no choice but to wait and persist. I also have the added problem that I went to the ER ONCE with a panic attack (which, in retrospect, was triggered by gallbladder pain), and since then, every doctor who treats me has the same modus operandi: tell me that what I have is anxiety and send me home with a tranquilizer xddd

During all this time, I even started to question whether it was all really anxiety xd. The only thing that kept me from thinking that was that I'd never had a fever from anxiety.

I'm so sorry for the vent. Writing about it makes me incredibly angry...

Regarding work, there are illustrations that are finished but I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll upload them soon.

There's a HATCF page and Haley's sequence that are confirmed and still to be done.

The commissions I haven't finished can be requested as they are or upgraded (full color, couple illustrations, or sequences). I'll talk about this privately soon.

Thank you for your patience.

PS: I appreciate your good faith and concern. Please don't send donations; it will make me feel worse and more guilty.

PS2: My family doesn't know about some of this (only a part). As you can imagine, they've been through a lot these past few months, and I didn't want to add more stress to an already stressful situation. I'm saying this so you don't go to my sister about it. We live in different countries, and she spends many hours without electricity, with her dog sick and her refrigerator broken down due to the power outages. She already has enough to deal with.

PS3: I thought this would be shorter, sorry 😅
