#80: Another Hellish Month - Burnout Edition

Hey, everyone...!

So July was seriously busy, and by busy I mean a STRUGGLE. For the first time in a good while, I reached burnout, a kind that I'd never really experienced before, but at least I have a name for it now. I know the signs, I can hopefully handle it better in the future! That's looking in a possible viewpoint, right?

And yet July also felt like it went too fast and August snuck up on me, seriously Art Fight was great, by the way!! I sure didn't expect so many people to attack me in the first few days of the Fight, and it kinda forced me to switch tactics - which I think contributed to the burnout fatigue that later plagued me last month.

Attaining a diagnosis of any kind is still in the works, of course... it feels like my insurance company is dragging its feet in trying to assist- almost makes me wish they'd just deny my request already so I'll be forced to handle the cost of an assessment myself. Which that in itself is going to be insanely difficult since I'm rather impulsive when it comes to my monthly allowance, heh... anyway! This blog is really all over the place, huh? Kinda like my brain at the moment (and the coffee is NOT helping-!)

I guess, to the people hoping for a writing update? Uhhhh I got nothing as per usual! Burnout, home responsibilities and just... my mental AND physical health are taking up all possible energy. Half the time my executive function gets messed up so that's a common struggle at least once a week for me. I'm just a mess, is what I'm trying to say. I'm living day by day in hopes that I can somehow function enough to DO something.

So goals for August? Survive the month! Maybe write! Maybe draw! Definitely gonna try to get SOMETHING done, I promise! Thanks for reading this trainwreck of a blog, by the way...

Hope to see you all next month! In the meantime, please keep spreading the word about my book! <3 Don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss out on any future updates (which includes these blogposts)! Thanks for reading, everyone! Stay safe and stay awesome! <3
