Okay. I had a really bad month again and did nearly nothing art-wise while struggling with moods and meds. I should have cancelled payments for September, but I thought I could manage something.

Turns out I'm not as capable as I'd like to be.

I will cancel payments for October, so there will be some making up for September. I will do refunds to anyone who asks. 

I will post directly to Patreon, the few things I did manage to do last month. I hate Depression. I am working with professionals to deal with it. Gonna kick this thing in the head. Maybe not literally, but... if that'll work, I'm game.

Again, my apologies for my recent behavior. I appreciate the patience you've shown me.

*Pats* No worries, man. From what I understand, Depression is an absolute bitch. Take the time you need, and hope it goes away quickly!

You’re all good man, looking after yourself is much more important

There's no need to apologize, Ken, your mental and physical well-being is always paramount. <3

Please take all the time you need, your mental (and physical!) health always comes first! I'm not subscribing just to get art, but to support YOU in general. That includes giving you time and space to look after yourself. As far as I'm concerned, that's the primary goal; the art rewards are just a bonus. Try not to beat yourself up - you don't need to give the depression any more ammo. I know it's easier said than done. Know and believe that we're all here supporting and caring about you; not just as an artist, but as a human being. Good luck!!

Depression is a beast, and not even the fun kind. I'm really glad you're getting help with it, and fervently hope that it helps. You're very good people, whatever your brain might tell you. Thank you so much for all you share — including this — and thank you for, frankly, being you.

Things will get better. You're doing all the right things, seeking help and support, it just takes time. You'll beat that sadness like you have before!

Getting help is the most important thing! Second most important is enjoying yourself again just to spite the damn depression trying to put a wall between you and everything you have fun doing.

I'll throw in here too - don't sweat it. I don't support you here just for the art you make - it's more about what you've given me through your art over the years I've known about it. Several of the things that infest your brain are right up my alley too... and they've made me smile when I really needed one. 🙂 And on that, I understand where you're at. I've been cripplingly, almost suicidally depressed for several years. The only reason I survived so far is that I abhor waste overall, and I consider life to be the ultimate gift. So there is always merit in continuing on. It might not (and isn't in several ways) be comfortable for a person in that place, but there is always a good reason to not waste that gift - even if it's just sharing your perspective and experience with others to help them make hard decisions. To not make the same mistakes you've had as hard lessons. There's always merit in keeping going. So with that said, make sure you surround yourself with people who will support you and care about you, and fight to find a better place. Draw support from those of us around you because we offer it, knowing we care. Seeing someone suffer isn't fun, and we'll help you find your path if you need it. And don't sweat the payments here - I personally don't care about that - but I am worried about you. Be strong and find a better place to be...
