Just push through it etc. Late last year after some encouragement from my friends I started attending therapy and it has been going really well!! I was finally able to start my comic Falling Star after 6+ years of trying to start it. My anxiety was so bad I would just overthink it and talk myself out of doing it over and over again but it&#8217;s something I really want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My therapist suggested seeing a psychiatrist as well and so I started anxiety meds for the first time in January. It took a couple of months to completely kick in but I am honestly feeling better than ever!! For the first time since I can remember I&#8217;m not wracked with anxiety 24\/7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was doing really well updating Falling Star every week until February when my schedule at my job changed and it really messed up my rhythm and I&#8217;m sorry about that. I&#8217;ve been doing a lot of work in therapy and even started EMDR for some childhood traumas and it&#8217;s been quite the ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next week I am also being tested for ADHD because I have really bad executive dysfunction that keeps me from getting projects I want to do started and continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So yeah, thank you so much for your patience while I get myself worked out but I am looking forward to my personal healing and getting more art and comics out there for everyone to enjoy. \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello everyone!!\u00a0I just wanted to give a big heartfelt thank you to you all for your patience with me.
