Quick MH update and simple hello and well wishes · 12:01pm Aug 15th, 2020
Hi everyone!
It's currently 4 AM and I'm having a lot of... thoughts, I guess? Some bad, some good, but I can't sleep so I guess I just wanted to air them out because it feels important to do so.
I'm gonna get the big thing out of the way, which is that after weeks and weeks of just not being in a good place, I finally reached my limit, and after discussing it with trusted people/therapist/informed people and the like, I went to see a professional. The bad news is I was officially diagnosed with medium?? depression. The good news is I was officially diagnosed! This is good because I will now finally get the help I've needed for several years now.
I'm just... really excited to want to wake up in the mornings and live my life. I know that sounds Incredibly Extra and Dramatic, but I really just want to get better and be in a position to keep improving and working on myself. So, fingers crossed!
Also, before I get to the next part, I want to quickly say I'm very sorry if I've not been able to reply to any PMs if you've sent them recently or in the past weeks/months. A lot has been going on, and that's not an excuse, and neither is the following, but yeah I get overwhelmed really easily, and my anxiety has been sky-high.
But still! Know that I am very sorry. In fact, there's a tweet that sums up exactly how I feel, hold on.
So, thank you all for your patience. I really appreciate it. Also, ditto to anyone who,,,, i still haven't read a thing they wrote,,, if i owe you reading a lovely thing you wrote, grab the emotion of the tweet and multiply it by 50 and that's me,,,,
Anyway, back to my point!!!
I guess really what I wanted to say is I hope y'all are doing ok. For a lot of people, these are really scary/difficult times, and so I just wanted to make a small shoutout and be like "hey!!! you're still here!!! you have lived for another day!!!" to anyone who needs it. Also, please remember to take care of yourselves, whatever shape or form that may take.
In my case, it was a break. Or an attempt at a break. And also playing lots of AC: Odyssey. I would marry Kassandra yesterday if I could.
But yeah! Basically, take care of yourselves and do what you gotta do for the best of you and others.
mwa!

p.s. WAIT I BRING RARITWI COMICS FROM THIS LOVELY TWITTER ACCOUNT I AM ABSOLUTELY SHILLING HOLD ON
p.p.s. also, for anyone excited for TEK, please know that the next update (which I'm working on!!!) is going to be really goddamn gay and it's GREAT; an entire chapter of the purple gfs being over the top with how much they love each other, i can't wait
You take care of you, Mono . I hope you start feeling better soon. And you should know that all of us are here for you. hugs
I hope you feel better soon!
Get the help you need and feel better.
hugs
I know all too well how a pile of obligations can lead to a vicious cycle of "It's too much, I don't know where to begin" and "Oh God, I haven't done anything I need to; I am human garbage." Here's hoping the professional help does, and that you feel better sooner rather than later.

Thank you, FoME ;-; I really hope it helps, and I can finally just... start somewhere and do the things I need to do... and yeah it's just a really bad vicious circle >.<
Glad to hear you are getting help if you need! I hope it brings wellness.
rip for having depressio, grats on knowing it f'realz :B weird how those two things go together, ultimately making this good news
Good luck with getting better! And TEK (Still excited to see where the story goes). And finding just the right inspiration!
I love that last romance line. So delightfully romantic Twilight.
I wish you the best of luck with your diagnosis. You will always have a lot of supportive people here.
I was thinking of saying something to show you my support without sounding repetitive but couldn't find the right word. Just... take good care of yourself and get better soon.
Self-care or I will steal your hair! 👀🔪
It's difficult to ask for help, so I applaud you for doing it. I'm glad to hear you're getting what you need
Good on you for prioritizing your self-care, Mono! Wishing you an enlightening journey of self-discovery, wellness, peace, and love ❤
Take care of yourself! And, come to think of it, let others help take care of you. Looking forward to the glorious TEK!
Take care of yourself Mono, I'm glad you're getting help, and I hope you feel better soon.
And now i need to go catch up on TEK so I can read this next goddamn gay chapter!
You take care of yourself, eh Mono? Best wishes sent your way.

I'm glad you're on a path to feeling better!
I've also been playing a lot of Assassin's Creed Odyssey! I know it came out like, two years ago, but it might be my personal game of the year!
I'm glad you can now start really working on the path to feel better, Mono. Just wanting to get better is a huge step, even if it can be hard some days, but you'll pull through it, and things will turn around.
Real life always takes priority, so don't let fan stuff add to all the other big stresses. You're doing okay
This is good.
This is very good.
Well, can't wait for it then!
Still, take care of yourself Mono. Health is important, be it physical or mental. That should be your first priority. Don't feel pressured into doing anything. Know that we do what we do to express ourselves, not as a chore or to prove anything.
Hope you find medication that works for you! Depression sucks.
