Medical Update (hopefully the last!) (Patreon)

So it's been a few months since I started making these updates. Doctor says I've improved quite a bit, and it does really feel like the worst of the depression is behind me. Though there are still a number of less than desirable elements of my life that probably contributed a great deal to my sudden and severe episode... mainly isolation.  

I live with my boyfriend, and he's been so wonderful taking care of me during this rough episode of our lives. Unfortunately, we both suffer from a lack of social placement in spite of our handful of friends in the area. We are self employed so many of our days are spent in our apartment while we try to make ends meet. For the most part, this makes a lot of our days very monotonous and shut off from the world. Internet interactions are very important to us, but we cant neglect face to face friendships as much as we currently do. Meeting some furs out in the area might be good.

Maybe I wont fall into such a deep and hopeless feeling depression again now that I know what my body was lacking, but I miss my family a lot, and feel my willingness to leave most of them 11 years ago, (though necessary) could have been a tad presumptuous. 

We are planning a much more physical lifestyle, looking into fishing and plenty of gym time along with more plans to BBQ regularly. 

The best news is that it feels like I'm almost 100% again. Thank you so much for your support. You literally made it possible for me to seek the medical help I needed so I could properly steer my situation around. Additional good news is that my blood pressure now reads as perfect, and an examination of my blood revealed that I'm very balanced and healthy for the first time in my life. To think 5 years ago I was diagnosed with hypertension and pre-diabetes. Thank goodness for diets that actually work. I still cant believe it works.

There's a lot I have to learn about life still, and throughout my 20s I've neglected a lot of my humanity thinking I could live beyond the need for family, face to face friendships, sunshine, etc.  What a silly mistake. ^^;
