Important Updates · 12:55pm Feb 27th, 2016
Here's a few updates concerning the progress of my art requests, editing/proofreading requests, Snippets contest and story updates/new stories.
Due to my constant anxiety, it's hard to write, draw, and talk. In order to make Snippets (or 99% of any other YouTube video on my channel...) I have a draw or talk, or both. Snippets requires both. I will release the winners as soon as I decide once and for all, and hopefully I'll make them not as crappy as I would've with worse anxiety.
Same for art requests, editing/proofreading (though proofreading requires just reading and nice feedback about what the author should improve upon) and my own stories. I have terrible, terrible anxiety that causes me to worry so much over nothing that I burst out crying in the most odd of places and times. Yesterday on the school bus for example, I suddenly started crying. So much emotional heaviness in my chest makes doing anything hard, which is why I have barely been on FimFic as much as I normally am. Thank you, guys, for being with me. It really helps. I appreciate all the support, and it has helped me. 
Basically, I put everything on hold for the time being.
I'm sorry to hear that.
3779887 It's alright. I've just accepted now that I have problems, and I need to find a way to work through it. However, my anxiety was caused by a third-party, so there really is no way to completely get rid of it until I know that third-party has gotten rid of it themselves.
3779894 *hugs tightly* Feel better soon.
Sounds like myself this week. I about destroyed the radio when it played a slow song. It was even one of my favorites! *sigh* I've got a chapter I need to get up, but *sigh* I have taken this week off for research and study, just to keep my mind off everything else that's going on in my life. *hugs* We can both get through this. Give yourself time, find reflect on your positives, and- well, pray about it. God might be leading you down a new path. Who knows.
3779902 *Hugs back* Thank you for the advice. I am definitely praying. I hope everything works out for you as well.
3779896 *Hugs back* Thank you
3779913 I just need to stay strong, and bold. I can't allow Satan to get the upper hand on me. And he's trying.
3779914 That's inspiring. I'll try my best to stay strong and bold as well. I know we can both get through it.
Take your time. There is no rush here.
3779917 Not without Christ, but I'm persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principlaities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor hight, nor depth, nor any other creature. Can be able to seperate me from the Love of Christ.
3779928 Amen!
3779924 Thanks
3779937 I also have a third party involved in my anxiety, and the struggle to do what I know is right, but still stay polite about it is proving to be more, and more challenging. Especially since I'm prone to shove people completely out of my life when I have decided to not listen to them any more.
Doing what is right isn't easy, but it's also important to balance what we consider fun, with our work, and our worries. Even if they are all tied in together. It's so easy to focus on the negative, that it over shadows the positive. It's so easy to focus on our fears, that sometimes, we lock ourselves away and don't continue to dare to be bold.
For David, it meant running from Saul for a good chunk of his life. Even living as a mad man in Palestine. For Daniel, he spent the night with the Lions. Moses spent forty years in the desert as a shepherd... Jesus got crucified.
But with each one, God turned their heart ache around and shone through it. If Stephen hadn't been stoned, Paul would not have been on that road to Damascus. If David hadn't been on the run, he wouldn't have had the time to write the psalms he did. If Daniel had not have lived through the lions den, The wicked men in the government would not have been seen, and therefore, gotten out. Mosus would not have had the patience to deal with the Iseralites. And if Jesus had not have died, we would not have a way to heaven.
Even the strongest Christians have been tested, even the ones closet to God have fallen. I could point to hundreds of others. Isaiah, Elijah, Jaramiah, Ezekiel...
Anxiety is one tool Satan uses. We both need to turn our fear around, and allow God to handle it. It'd be like a character being aware of me. I know where I'm taking my stories... My characters don't. They only see the moment, so is it with us, and life today. God is our author. He's in control of the final book. He knows every twist, and turn that is going to happen. Like my characters, we also have a level of control over the story, but in the end, He's got it all planned. He created character types, he planned how different people react under pressure. He has taken that into account- and he is in control.
*hugs* I know it's hard now... Believe me, I just want to cry half the time myself. But God's a great friend to help us through these issues. And unlike our friends in real life, he won't disappoint us.

3779961 Any time.
I hope things get better for you, *hugs*
