It seems that for the past year or so, I've mistakenly assumed I'd said something I didn't, when in fact I've never outright said it. Not something easy to admit, honestly, so maybe that's why I told myself I already had said it directly. But I told someone I'd try, so here it is.
I have been suffering clinical depression and anxiety disorder for some time. Diagnosed formally near the start of the year, possibly lingering longer before that.
It's not an excuse for what's been going on, but certainly it's been either a cause or a key player in a number of problems. I haven't been dealing with it well at all. Some of you will be more aware of this than others, some of you will be aware of suicide attempts.
I'm really not sure what more can be said at this point. I don't think I can even apologise cleanly right now for my failures in controlling it and myself because I don't think I'm anywhere close to getting back on track with either of those. So I guess that's about it.
Contest Ending Monday
My contest ends on Monday, meaning there's now about 2 days left from when this journal posts. If you've planning to submit something, do so by midnight UK time on the 8th.
Contest Ending Soon!
My Basilisk Fun Party contest is ending on the 8th of May, I've added a couple extra days onto the previous extension because A) was ill again most of this month [still not really 100% either] so didn't manage to promote it much and B) I forgot the 6th is the same day some bloke is getting a new hat in London* and if I'm not unwell I may be away from keyboard on the day due to relatives being all sociable and stuff. Details are in this journal: Other entries are here: https://www.deviantart.com/lz0291/favourites/93735596/basilisk-fun-party-entries or in this Journal: And the contest also has bonus achievments you may unlock with your entry and earn 50pts on DA. *This is a Coronation joke.
Contest Extended
Not sure if it updated to be seen by anyone but I'll be extending the contest due to the messy start to the year meaning I rather underpromoted it. So if you were working on something you have some extra time now, to the 6th of May instead.
I've had fun*
Apologies for the silence of late. If you've been following on Twitter I said I was unwell there, but I couldn't get onto DA or some other places to update here. I didn't elaborate much there but basically, all the busy stuff IRL, stress, and such, I managed to not really take great care of myself, caught myself a nice bout of either cold or flu (It wasn't the other thing at least). So I was kind of buggered up. And as icing on that unwanted cake** there were some issues with my main computer, that thankfully weren't major but took a while to get fully resolved. I'll try to get back to writing and clearing the backlogs, and again, if I owe you something I can only apologise for all this delay. If anyone wants their points refunded or some other alternative please note me and I'll try sort something out with you, but I'll be trying to get the stories done up. *Title may be slightly sarcastic ** Possibly orange cake, not really fond of oranges. Then again I did catch a cold so maybe

Now this does explain a lot. I think it would be the best if you would concentrate on your own recovery for now. I wish you the best of luck for your recovery.
