Every month, I have "the period". Yeah, you know which one.

Except over the years it's slowly gotten worse for me. The hormones ramp up my emotions to sometimes dangerous levels, and I end up feeling even more anxious and depressed than I already do. Some of the symptoms I have get worse. And, you know, I really don't need more of that, yeah?

I do or say things to the extreme, and then look back and just feel awkward and sad about it later. I have a bit of a concern that I'll end up doing something irreversible in these periods (as a mundane example, getting myself into a stupid argument online).

I don't know a ton of people who have issues like this. I mean, I know the period makes people more emotional in general, but I wonder if anyone else with my conditions is affected in the same way as me.

About my last news post? Yes, I think it was somewhat of a product of the above.

Well, I am still kind of sad I don't get much interaction here, but I said in November I didn't want posting my art to be all about numbers... and, some people have shown interest in me, which I am grateful for all the same. I also do still think I should find real life outlets for sharing my art though. Or at the very least a more focused online community, or something.

I have made more art since the 3 days I made that news post. I'm still not finished with the zine, but it's getting there. I'll post a sneak peak of one of the pieces in it later. I finished my Smash Banner collaboration piece, though I don't know if it was accepted or not. And I now have 2 pieces finished to be posted on May 1st. ᵗʰᵉʸ ᵃʳᵉ ᶦⁿ ᵐʸ ᶠᶦˡᵉ ᵈᵘᵐᵖ ᵃˡᵒⁿᵍ ʷᶦᵗʰ ᵈᵉˢᶜʳᶦᵖᵗᶦᵒⁿˢ ᶦᶠ ᵃⁿʸᵒⁿᵉ ᶦˢ ˢᵘᵖᵉʳ ᶜᵘʳᶦᵒᵘˢ Besides those I have some experimental things and other things for fun to make.

I reinstated about half of my gallery, mostly removing stuff that barely has views, and keeping things like my background and adult art, and other stuff I'm generally proud of. Don't know if I'll ever bring the rest back, to be honest.

Lastly, I want to thank @Positron832 and @SussyBagel for the kind and helpful words they sent me. It helps me a lot, genuinely.

About my last last news post? Under Judgement is still huge. I thought since the latest animation jam finished, it might slow down a bit and people might start looking at the stuff unrelated to it. But, looks like there are a ton of late entries... I might have to go through the entire thing again. And I haven't even checked out games in a while. *scared*

I did notice my blam and save points increase over the past few days I did that though. And I've been upgraded to Portal Security. Pretty cool.

Thanks for reading this entire thing, if you did.
