I Dont Really Talk About This Much Because Its Pretty Depressing - Tumblr Posts

*lightly bonks* rest, the writing will be here for you when you're better. It's not healthy to work through being sick

Hahahaha I appreciate the support. Unfortunately, I’ve been sick for the past eight years or so, so things are a mite more complicated because of that.

Around February my writing started slowing down, and about a month ago I hit a wall and decided I needed a break. I was calling it burnout at the time, but considering my complete exhaustion in all other areas of my life as well, there was a decent chance it was more then that.

Annoyingly though, my blood tests came back completely normal and that was the best theory I had (iron infusions is the only thing that’s ever actually helped my health in any way). In light of that, there’s not much I can do except accept this as my life for the moment.

Maybe it’ll magically get better if I waited even longer, maybe it really is just burnout- but I have no real way to know. The best I can do is keep trying and hope the past two years haven’t been just a fluke.

I promise I’m taking it slow though! I’ve been making an active effort to lay down more again (maybe the problem was that I was daring to be upright too much) and I’m only writing in small bursts rn.

Writing submas stuff has been the only success I’ve had for the past eight years, and I’m not letting go of it if I can help it.

Still, I am prone to pushing myself, so the encouragement is appreciated nonetheless. Thank you for the support!
