Health Problems, Recovery, and Content
🕑 Added 2018-07-01 02:31:04 +0000 UTC Hi everyone,(I highlighted the important stuff if you don't want details)
You have a right to know what's been happening in Lina's and my lives. I already filled you in on the impending crisis at the end of last month: https://www.patreon.com/posts/bad-news-stand-19166583
That has caused us both major stress this month, in addition to other health and financial issues Lina and I have been struggling with. We are both physically and emotionally exhausted, and for me that means the return of some extremely volatile stress-related health issues (mainly, ongoing panic attacks that feel like heart attack symptoms, and occasional arrhythmia).
I have been to the doctor multiple times for these symptoms, and had some tests done. And while I have not had a heart attack yet, I have many of the markers that indicate I am at risk (weight, blood pressure, family history, cholesterol). Knowing this only adds to the anxiety and worry that feeds the symptoms. I am back on blood pressure medication at the moment, and hoping things will get better soon.
In the meantime, due to the severity of these symptoms, my wife has requested that I take things as easy as possible for the next week.
This is already coming on heels of failing to get any progress in FNAB2:Ep3 this month (The week I set aside for it ended up being the week we needed to clean the house for the landlord). But I cranked out 2 full collabs for $5 Patrons, so I'm not as upset about that. What we really need is a vacation, away from stress and work, and health problems and worry. But that's neither financially possible nor logistically prudent at this time.
I just wanted you to know. I may or may not be drawing during this down time. Sometimes drawing relieves stress, sometimes it's a source of stress. But I will try to at least do the news letter, and contact you about rewards, etc. Brainstorm and Streaming might be held later in the month.
I just didn't want anyone to think I disappeared, as we can't afford to lose any of you.
Thank you all for understanding,
- Fox and Lina
