i got maybe 2-3 days of milder symptoms before once again getting hit with pain so hard i can't think. going to see my shitty shitty doctor but it'll take months to see a specialist. excedrin doesn't work, sumatriptan, duloxetine, amitriptyline, CBD, THC, nothing works.

i wish i had good news, or new art, or something nice to say.

taking my 5 minutes of pain freedom to just repost this:

Life is blurry lately because chronic migraines (which come with nerve pain, muscle pain, nausea, fatigue) have taken over my waking life. If you are waiting on a message from me, I'm sorry. Going to start a headache diary and start the process to see a neurologist because I can't live like this!

going back to bed, okay.

I really loved your artificer comic and would love to see more when you feel up to it! <3

Thank you! I have every page so far up on my ko-fi gallery. If I went back to it, I'd probably have to rewrite and redraw some things, but I'm incredibly happy to hear you like it.

my medical bills are now $375 a month, but I only make $250 a month from patreon (i'm trying not to think about my other bills), so HA HA, I'M IN DANGER.

i already only eat one meal a day/buy nothing/go nowhere/etc etc to save money.

i've been homeless before. i don't want to go back. so tired.

Happy equinox! Patreon is my only steady income as a disabled artist. High-res print-ready files and line art are over there!

Who would I have been if I didn't read Dragonball as a kid? Thanks, Toriyama-sensei.

Thank you for all the kind messages and support. I'm just trying to make it day by day for right now. I keep all your messages and reread them whenever things are hard.

Been feeling really suicidal lately, mainly because the first 40 years of my life have been awful, and I don't believe it's ever going to get better, and I am all alone.

Brain isn't doing too well. Mostly I've just been trying to get work done, make sure I stay clean, cook food, sleep. It's hard to have energy for anything else.

Somehow I'm getting worse. :(

I have a new washi tape from The Washi Station (@thewashistation) for their World Ghost Stories collection! Based on stories my grandma told me growing up, this haunted paper-cut village contains the ghouls and ghosts of childhood.

Bonus fact: The colors I used are the 4-colors of the base Gameboy palette. The tape looks gorgeous on paper.

I'm working on a comic about two old lesbians who decide to fly their starseed ship into the void, in the hopes of giving life to a new world tree. Come support me on Patreon so I can keep making comics!
