My emotional state is kind of spiralling out of control right now thanks to the stress at work of covid and christmas combined starting to impede my ability to produce my comic and start to take out the one pillar of meaning my life had during this never-ending nightmare that has sucked every other last flicker of joy out of my life and leaving nothing but a depressing slog towards an emotional breakdown and probably financial ruin... but here's page 56.
You can read page 57 at https://recursioncomic.com/0057
Page 58 is almost done. Hopefully I'll be able to muster enough of my soul to complete it before next monday.

Now I'm going to lie down and cry.

I've been loving every page of Recursion, and immediately go and check the site as soon as I see a new page posted here. Don't give up, vaccines are being shipped, just a little more and we'll be out the other side of this! I know it's hard, even in my country where we haven't been hit that badly I've been worried for friends all over the world, and for friends and family right here if quarantine fails badly like it did elsewhere in the country, and my brother is similarly in a front-line retail just before Christmas when a quarantine break has happened in the next state and everyone's panic-buying all over again, and I can hear his will to live escaping him with each ten-hour day, but he goes and has cuddle therapy with his dog and feels at least a little more ready for the next day. I don't know much about Canada, has the Japanese thing of cat cafes spread there, yet (assuming they wouldn't be closed)? Or does one of your local friends have a dog or cat or ferret or whatever that you could visit and just cuddle and cry for a bit?
I would suggest going somewhere with nature like a national park or something and just losing yourself for a bit, but I'm guessing December in the Northern Hemisphere that far from the equator, it wouldn't be the best idea (I'm currently melting down here in our summer though, so I guess winter wouldn't be so bad - I could see snow for the first time...). Maybe just try and find some time to have a good cry, or listen to some music that gets your emotions going and jump around your place in time to the music, let some of what you've been bottling up out? Or just take some time to do something physical, get some emotions out that way?
If your comic is the last thing that's bringing you joy, I'm loathe to suggest this, but you know you better than I could hope to - would either a break, or some non-canon adventures where you can take a break from being on-model and having things have to make sense for the overarching plot and just have fun and get a bit scribbley help, do you think? Maybe take some of the stress out of your thing that sparks joy, worry less about getting your ideas across and just stuff around for a bit with some of the same characters in something with less pressure to get it just right? If that would harm more than help, of course don't do it, but I'm sure there's something that would help you get through until vaccines can be distributed, it just has to be found!
Your art is always a treat to see in my subscriptions or whatever FA calls it, and I've loved your sense of storytelling for years now. Really hope you find something to help you cope.

Thank you for caring enough to post all that. It made me feel better to know you were pulling for me. I'm feeling a little better today than I was yesterday. I'm still not feeling great but I'm not... sliding any more, so to speak. I'm going to try poking at drawing again tonight. Wish me luck.
