Type. Delete. Type. Delete. Type Type. Deleeeete.

I haven't posted anything on this in over a month, and thats unacceptable. Tonight Maria was over and while I was sketching her she decided to update her blogger, and this made me realize that I have spent way too long being away. In fact, she just recovered from a short hiatus for reasons not too unlike my own.

I have suffered from depression for years now. It usually starts up in the Fall and Winter months, but each year its been starting sooner and lasting longer. I have tried several different medications and remedies. Hand in hand with my depression were anxiety issues, but those would usually just last a day. For the past couple of weeks its been daily. I will spare the details of what my panic attacks include, but its not pleasant. And, as a result of such unpleasantries, has hindered my ability to churn out anything remotely creative.

Today I started a new medication that will hopefully counter both my depression and my anxiety. So far I have felt very, very sleepy. But, I did notice that as soon as I was around Maria I felt more energized and much more inclined to be silly. (And really, thats not an unusual reaction to being around Maria.)

I have a figure sketch of her that I WILL be posting promptly, along with possibly a few other, older drawings I never got around to scanning. I don't know what it is but I really hate the act of scanning something. It just irritates me like no other.

Anyway, there you have it. I'm doing my best to be better.
