IMPORTANT ANNONCEMENT - HIATUS

Hey all

So I don't know if y'all may have noticed but for the past couple of weeks my art output has really suffered. As you may know, around December I had several instances of anxiety/panic attacks that led me to go to the ER a couple times sincerely thinking i was in danger. 

After that life continued with the occasional anxiety attack but I was still fairly productive. I remember one week in particular in which I probably got more work done than I have in months and it was amazing. The occasional anxiety attacks were still awful but I managed, especially since I was on my way to getting some kind of medication for it. Once I did get on medication for it, my anxiety/panic symptoms went away and life improved, however I found it increasingly difficult to find any real pleasure in drawing. It became a chore and still kind of is. I'm more apathetic in regards to mistakes I make, I'm less interested in learning new things, and overall I've lost my spark. In regards to all of this, I am looking into getting off my medication, albeit slowly, in hopes things improve. 

The medication I'm on, escitalopram, apparently has some really severe withdrawal symptoms, so I will have to get off it very slowly. The issue I run into however is that art is still my job, I have a patreon and a subscribestar that people are expecting work to be posted to. But as I go through this shit I may not be able to post to it as much as I need to. Honestly I wish I could temporarily close it down, but patreon and subscribestar are still my primary source of income. Yet I hate to keep it up and have people pay me for so little content, so I really don't know what to do. 

I suppose in saying all this as I try to get this stuff sorted out I will wholly understand anyone that wants to unsubscribe from Patreon and SS as I go through this. And to those that choose to stick around even if I currently am unable to post as much as I use too, please know that I am extremely extremely thankfull
