UPDATE - Mental Health

Added 2025-06-08 11:25:07 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone! Before I start, I just want to say thank you for supporting me through thick and thin. I have paused the billing for this month because I have been struggling a lot with a major change in my life that has done more harm then good.

My mother got a dog 3 months ago and since we got it, all I receive is non stop barking from it. I live in a household with my family (5 people including me) and the dog LOVES my mother but barks at everyone else. The dog is just coming up to be 12 months old and we got the dog from Romania.

I don't want to go into too much detail but all I can say is... hearing nonstop barking every single day and knowing my mother isn't going to rehome the dog is just... it feels like mental torture. This is the first time she's had a dog and it's my first time too but 3 months in and I no longer have patience for this dog because of the constant noise. I just feel constantly anxious and I just can't focus on anything.

If you're wondering why my art output has slowed down a lot, this is mostly why. I can't even feel bothered to post artwork that has been finished and I know I need to but... it's just too much for me at the moment.

I'm sorry if I've disappointed any of you but trust me when I say this.. I'm trying my best to heal but because of my current living conditions, that is a tough task.
