Depression, Anxiety or any type of mental strain is awful, and sometimes the medication doesn't really lift you up fully, it feels like nothing has fully changed. I've recently been on medication for my OCD and while I have seen the results on some occasions, sometimes I really need to buck up and handle the situation myself. I hope you are going to be okay, I know you are going to be okay. You are the whole reason I'm on here, writing stories and designing things. Your characters are the ones who made me create my own characters. You are so kind to all of your watchers. It's honestly very hard to hear that one of the nicest people that I've met is really feeling down and out, but I hope my message and many, many other messages from your lovely viewers and boost your confidence and well-being.

Thank you very much for just being on this website and creating something that has inspired many, many people.

That really tends to be the way it works. Medication can't be the only thing you do to care for yourself, but it can really help depending on your body's chemistry. ^^

Thank you so much for your kind words and willingness to help, my friend! You've got me all misty-eyed in the best way.

Well, it's kinda true that I wouldn't exactly be here without you. I would honestly be shy to express this side of myself, but thanks to you, Henry, Moth, Candle, Juni, and many, many more of your characters, I'm able to write more, design more, and just more of doing what I love to do. Thank you so much.

I'm so happy my silly little creations have been able to do some good! ^W^ It means more than you can ever know. And I simply cannot wait to see what new things you come up with. You are a very talented person, and we're better for being able to share in what you create

Sometimes silly little creations can make the whole world a lot better :D

As a gift, here is a song that I always listen to that always makes me smile, I hope you enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg1SNwGNHds

And now I'm smiling, too! Thank you ^^

Well, a great classic I always is enjoy is: All things are possible with God.

I can't remember where the scripture is located, though. Sorry about that.

No worries! I know the verse well. Thank you! ^^ On a stickie it shall be.

Yay! :D Also, I have an interesting idea that came to mind that I'd love to share with you some time, it's been stewing int he back of my head for quite some time now, and I wanted to hear what you think of it.

Sounds wonderful! I can pop on Discord for a bit before bed if now is convenient for you ^^

I'm currently working on a project with some friends. When is bed for you?

In about half an hour to an hour. Otherwise I can be on in the afternoon tomorrow ^^

Let's go with that one, then. What time?

Is 3 your time good?

I think so, yes.

Marvelous!

Keep trying! I’ve been enjoying the comics alot ^-^

I know depression sucks, I still lose alot of days to it.

Thank you so much! I'll do my best ^^

And I'm sorry to hear you struggle, too. It's such a life sucker

lets see... psalm 20 verse two "o Lord my God i cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me"

also these songs i always found inspirational. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n9xP6_cPAI , https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=467Q0kd9pug

A beautiful verse! Thank you! ^^ Just what I needed. Plus, these songs are brilliant! They'll get good use from me, to be sure. Thank you!

glad to be of service : D (and i need to stop singing them -w-)

^w^ They're definitely hard to shake, but don't stop singing them! They're great >w<

i know they are, but i keep singing at random moments and get emberassed XD

You know, there's something interesting about curve balls. They can still be hit, like any other ball. It's harder but not impossible.

Something I've been pondering recently, unrelated to any of this. Have you noticed that we have soup base but no soup acid?

Also, random movie recommendation, Driving Miss Daisy. Real good film. I hope you're doing better today. *Hug!*

I love these! They're sitting by my mirror as we speak. Thank you! *hug*
And I'll have to watch Driving Miss Daisy! I've heard a lot about it, but never made the time to see it. Thank you again!

I'm glad I could brighten your day. ^^ *Hugs.* How've things been lately?

*hugs* Things are steadily improving. ^w^ I've been more productive than I have been in a long time. It feels good. How are you? ^w^

Well, I don't really feel like doing anything today. There are forest fires burning nearby and today the smoke is so thick it's like fog. *Hugs.* But I have video games and books to occupy me. I just need to remind myself that there's nothing I can do out there in the smoke anyway, even though it doesn't feel like I've "earned" leisure time today.

I understand the feeling. It's hard to sit still when there's something you want to get done. I hope you were able to enjoy the down time anyway, though!

We are still choked with smoke here, but until yesterday we were under evacuation alert. Yesterday they lifted it. That feels better, even though overall my situation hasn't changed. I'm still stuck indoors but I no longer have that alert hanging over my head.

We've been in a similar situation in California. I'm glad your evacuation alert was lifted. It's a scary thing when you have to leave your home and not know if you can come back to it in one piece.

It felt worse too, because I'd moved up here last year and had to sacrifice some stuff in order to fit everything else in the moving van. The possibility of losing everything else didn't sit well with me.

I can see why! That is an awful lot for one person to deal with

On the up side, right now (due to the smoke) it looks like one could film an episode of CSI: Miami outside and not need the yellow/orange filter on the camera lens. Although they'd have to be careful not to linger on the sky too much or viewers would question where the sky went.

XD That is a cheery way to look at it! Certainly cost effective, if nothing else >w<

I do have an interesting way of looking at things. If I wasn't a tiger, then Ichabod (the corgi, not Crane) would probably be my spirit animal. ^^

You know, I can see how that works >w<

I also came up with a simple recipe for smoked salmon recently. I can just toss a few salmon out my front door and wait a bit!

XD Okay, that one legitimately made me laugh out loud

nice

^w^ Thanks
