Hey all! Let the angry comments come, because I have absolutely no excuse for not updating for over a year with this story and a couple of my other ones. However, I do appreciate those that have favorited/followed my stories thus far. I have this fall and winter quarter of college to finish up, before I can officially graduate.
COVID-19 really screwed my plans over, and along with that and a lot of parental pressure, I spiraled out of control and lost track. I messed up on a couple of classes in both Spring and Summer, but after I told my parents what happened, I got the opportunity to make up missing assignments and fixed the grades for those courses, and I agreed to see a psychological counselor for help. At first, I was diagnosed with general anxiety due to me admitting that I tend not to submit work if it isn't perfect the first time. I find it difficult to be motivated for class and do work, as well as contempt for being stuck inside at home due to the pandemic. I was relatively okay until my parents decided to hover over me while I did my work (both regular and make-up), a few emotional episodes, constant begging to be given another chance to fix my mistake and earn their trust back, and recently one of my childhood friends recently passed away, and the plans for his funeral were constantly changing up until last week when my mom and I finally got to go and say goodbye (RIP Tyler). My diagnosis was later changed to major depressive disorder (MDD).
However, since the funeral, I've been having sessions with the counselor, which have really helped to get a lot of baggage off my chest. My parents and I have been working things out with school, and have agreed to give me my space, with occasional check-ups, and help with writing assignments. Now, I'm doing way better than before. I'm not completely cured, but I feel better than I did a couple of months ago.
I'm going to be very busy this month, probably up until a week before Christmas, so the updates are going to come in slowly. Winter quarter won't be as hectic, because I have won't have as many courses, and I might have more time to update/create more stories. I was thinking of doing a few more OC-inserts in franchises like X-Men, How to Train Your Dragon, or anime like Soul Eater. Let me know what you think, suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated! Now enough about me and my problems. Hopefully I can start updating my stories more often and start new ones in the future. Thanks for all the support!
