Hey, so I'm gonna keep this super informal or whatever. Quick warning, mentions of self harm/suicide/death/etc.
So basically, I haven't updated in like I think a year now? A quick summary of what's happened in my life and why I haven't updated.
Back before I stopped updating/writing whatever, I was going through serious depression and anxiety. I'm still going through that now, but to much less of an extent. I tried to harm myself, and I was admitted to a mental health facility. I went through recovery, mental exercises, the whole shebang. I was really struggling in school so I set writing aside to focus on myself and my family. Over summer, I got a lot better, and am currently in a state where I consider myself stable and happy.
I've moved a lot in my life. 6 states, 9 school districts, over 10 different houses. I was bullied when I was younger for being taller than the other kids and for not treating teachers like shit. All through that my constant were my cats and my dog. Boy cat passed away a few years ago. Girl cat however was diagnosed with cancer right after I got out of PHP, which was the name of the mental health program I was going though. So, that sucked for a really long time. Eventually we decided it was best to put her down, as she was in really bad shape.
Fast forward a few months, around August/September, my stepfather was diagnosed with Prion disease, which is a super rare and random disease I don't feel like going into detail about right now. He passed away the day before my birthday, after 3 weeks of being confined in a room in our house as he quickly yet agonizingly slowly lost control of his muscles and brain. This was in October.
Around that same time, school has obviously started back up again, and so I'm in the middle of stressing about college apps. And, my dog of 10 years has been diagnosed with a degenerative disorder in his legs, so he can no longer really walk anymore. We put him down in January.
So, all of that is the quick rundown of the shithole my life has been the last year. But now, I'm back. I want to write, and I want to finish the stories I'd started, as well as create some new ones. However, some of the ideas I'd had are now kinda forgotten, so I'm hoping maybe I can jog my memory of that.
Anyway, this was basically a rant, announcing to about maybe 3 people that I'm back and hope to continue my stories.
And I wanted to also share, if anyone ever needs to talk about their struggles, depression, anxiety, life, or just to chat with someone who'll listen, I'm always available in DMs or if you want an email to contact me at you can ask in replies and I'll send you one. Don't be afraid to reach out and seek help.
