... I realize now this was posted two months ago. That'll teach me to read the e-mails I get from Patreon properly ... Regardless, everything in my post is equally true.

Stop, stop, STOP, you have NOTHING to apologize for! Mental health IS SERIOUS, no matter how "silly" it might seem! And I promise you, you do NOT lack discipline! I struggle with anxiety myself. I had a complete breakdown a few years ago because I was pushing myself way too hard - also from a sense of "discipline". But from that experience I learned how warped my perspective was - I wasn't struggling because I lacked discipline, I was struggling because I had TOO MUCH "discpline", i.e. I felt the need to keep pushing myself way beyond my own limits. As for "silly" mental health struggles, just a few months ago I had another massive anxiety breakdown that had a number of similarities to what you're describing: It was caused by the triggering of a trauma stemming from food poisoning, and I can tell you I felt "silly" for suddenly feeling massive anxiety about something so "mundane". I had my anxiety medication more than DOUBLED (I was briefly on another type of anxiety medication that also just knocked me out), and I'm only now starting to feel properly like myself again mentally (and even then I'm certainly not unmarked by it). Sorry for the thesis, but my point is that you have to be KIND to yourself. Be patient with yourself, and don't denigrate yourself - your struggles are not "silly", and you don't lack discipline; anxiety is no joke, and you are taking the necessary time and energy to rest and care for yourself. 💚

I don't ever comment on patreon, but we're literally all gathered here for smut. Our opinions don't matter more than your health.

Health always comes first, take all the time you need!

These aren’t silly issues at all—you’re absolutely right to be putting your health and well-being first!! I’m wishing you the best!!

crema oh my god this sounds serious as hell!!! if it's impacting your life so much its a very serious thing indeed!! I'm just one girl online but please please prioritize your health and getting used to medication and such, if anything you did fantastic with that ribbons peach (it was so so good dog). Anxiety is nothing to sneeze at and it does some very irrational things to us, so I wouldn't say it's silly at all to deal with it! I can confirm getting help is more important and not at all silly, and I'm glad that you're starting to get better!! Wishing you a full recovery, excited to see what else you have in store—when you're ready of course! Take care!! 💜💜

No worries Crema, your health always comes first. You don't need to force yourself, you can also pause for a month if needed. The most important thing is that you're doing well

At the risk of repeating what's already been said a few times: what you're going through isn't silly, even if it has (thankfully) turned out to be manageable. Like gkr said, I personally give so you can have some stability. You deserve to be able to care for yourself without having to worry about producing. I would literally rather burn my money than have it negatively impact your health. I hope you feel better soon. Until you do though, please don't push yourself.

You’re already doing absolutely amazing, take care of urself!

bungbino

You are incredible to keep up the way you do! Dont ever apologize for having a rough time. Whether physical pain, mental pain, it is all valid. We people arent built to put work first, so always take care of yourself and put YOU first. 😄

You have not "extremely failed", you've given your all to still work through the pain. You have a right to rest when you are sick and we are happy to support you. Your health is not a silly thing, it's what matters most. Take care, we've got your back, we'll be waiting for you!

gkr

We got rebecca, lucy, starfire and that amazing peach this month. That's an amazing bargain for a couple of bucks. but. it's ok to have bad month. Maybe not everyone think like me, but I don't give money for the rewards first. I give so you have a bit of stability in your life first. In exchange you have less anxiety and you are able to share more art. But even if you had a really bad month where you can't share anything, I'm ok with still giving. As an investssment in the futur. Again, that peach was amazing and the other are nice too. Please take care of yourself and let us reduce a bit the money burden.

As someone with anxiety and depression and who recently lost my job, I can tell you that these things happen and I didn't feel like you were neglecting your patreon at all, your health comes first, don't over work yourself.

Quillmonger

Hope that you're okay and everything works out for you. Hope to see you back here someday.

Hi Cremanata, Unfortunately today is my last day being able to be one of your patreons. I have been lucky enough to pledge to you since you opened your patreon, and I have loved seeing additional pieces of your art through it. I have run out of savings, though, and had to admit to myself at the start of this month that I could not find ways to keep my patreon pledges any longer. Five years ago I was diagnosed with Major Depression, which had been affecting me my whole life but I never got help with until then. After some trial and error, my psychiatrists were able to help me with a pair of medications that helped me keep my depression and sleep schedule stable, and in turn after a few years my psychiatrists and I discovered that my Major Depression had been masking an additional underlying Inattentive ADHD diagnosis, and I was prescribed a third medication on top of the other two I was taking. Luckily they all played well together, though all three did take a while for my body to get used to, and there has been quite a bit of dosage regulating to figure out what amount these medications would be the most effective with the least side effects. However, while all of these help keep me from going into mental places I shouldn't, what they have not helped me with is finding the motivation to take care of myself, including eating. Over the passed few months I have lost fifteen pounds, going from a BMI of 19.2 down to 17, and my therapist and primary doctor are worried that it could have affected by physical health, or that there might be something else going on. On Monday I have been scheduled to go in for a CT scan to rule anything it can out. I wanted to share all this with you, and anyone else who it might help, because your issues are not silly. Mental health can have extreme impacts on eating and physical health, and not just through anorexia and bulimia. Anxiety and depression are things that affect a lot of people in the ways they have affected you, more so than we often hear about, and so I wanted to let you know while I have the chance that I can relate in some way to you on this matter. I do not believe you lack discipline, nor that you failed anyone or caused any inconveniences. Your efforts deserve all the support you get and more. Your art brings smiles to a lot of people's faces, including mine, and I will keep looking forward to enjoying your art that anyone else would be able to see, too. It was a privileged to get to see even more pieces of your art here while I was able to, and I hope even more people get the opportunity to pledge to you and see more as well. Please take care, and I am glad you have fans that care about you

You come first! Take care of yourself and do what you need to! As someone who also has medical issues that affect my sleep, eating, etc. please please please do what you need to!! You don't owe anyone anything and while I get that it sucks and is disheartening to not be able to get plans done, that's ok! Do what you were gonna do anyway! Better late than never especially when your health is involved! 💜🩵
