Update: small demons, brain demons

Hi, just wanted to give my apologies for the wildly inconsistent posting and radio silence as of late.
I haven't kept the flow I wanted for new pages and art, and honestly sometimes days fly by and I barely even notice it..

This is a bit personal, but I might attempt to get an adhd diagnosis and meds, as I believe it impacts my ability to keep a proper schedule. This is not to excuse myself, but just to lend you some insight into potential causes for my speed bumps.

In the meantime I'm gonna try my best to correct that and continue to try to get a page out a week, I appreciate the patience โค๏ธ

Completely understandable. I'm sure a lot of people are on the spectrum and aren't diagnosed, and those people just have the HARDEST time trying to organize their work life. Getting a diagnosis is really smart if you want to maintain a schedule.

Totally understandable. Not to be That Guy, but I finally got diagnosed with ADHD a couple years ago, and while it's still a struggle it changes a lot to have it confirmed and being able to find ways to cope with it. Good luck!

Same, to so much of the nth degree—I swear, I want to rip my head off with how much is going on in my brain that can't stop buzzing. So I know exactly where you come from. But shit, you still get things done so much faster than me, so there's solace in that! ๐Ÿ˜…

I'll be honest, I didn't even think or feel any of these page posts were "late" haha. It felt pretty steady to me so it never crossed my mind. But if it's not too your personal standards that's understandable.

to be honest i feel you are putting too much pressure on yourself but if you truly feel like you are genuinely procrastinating you should check yourself out, but i feel you are just are feeling like you need to meet a self impose quota to justified the recent support you got (but you dont need to you do a lot of good work and you never feel slow) and to be honest is not a bad mentality but it can easily increase your expectation for yourself and ruin your mental state or put you in situation you self loathe for no reason. but the only one who can actually tell how you feel is a doctor or you.

in my opinion you are doing great so dont worry so much about it. but like i said the only one who can determine what actually you are feeling is you, i dont know you personally so im just talking with no context so i could be very wrong. so feel free to ignore this whole thing.

Take your time.  Rather have a late cake than barely edible mush.
Do get checked though, they might have something to help out.

Man, we both started our (current) comic journeys like at the same time. A page a week ain't as easy as it sounds, especially when you have other stuff in life that you need to do and want to do.
You're doing fine. :3

Don't rush it, and the readers are always here~

Take care of yourself, Salmon. You're way too talented and it would be a shame if anything happened to you.
Rooting for you always!

Hey no worries.  Your work is excellent, it's free, and sometimes like gets in the way of creativity.

Take your time

Hey as long as you're ok m8, that last update with the stomach pains and then disappearance had me worried. Communication is great to put that at ease. The art will come when it comes, don't sweat it.

Honestly days flying by barely noticed is super relatable. Some inconsistency of  how often you post doesn't bother me at all. Usually it takes an artist going dark for 6 months or more before I realize "Oh shit, what happened to such and such? I hope they are ok."

Take your time, and I hope things work out for ya.

Take care of yourself. I've lived with ADHD my entire life. I have also been diagnosed with bi-polar and depression. (waaaay more depressions than manics these days tbh) I even had a suicide attempt, a long time back, a serious one but was lucky to survive. I know how soul sucking and energy draining ADHD-with-depression can be. If you ever need someone to chat/vent at feel free to pm me.

I love your artwork and I am very grateful for your sharing it with us. I'll never be upset or frustrated because an artist needs to take time for themselves. Especially when it comes to health and mental health. Just be sure that when you do draw, sometimes draw just for yourself, get in touch with what you like to do. Feed your muse.

Honestly while I don't know you and we haven't interacted at all? The vibe you give off to me from the short time I found and followed your AD Twitter to when we all started canning ours. Is pretty similar to the vibe of many of my queer and neurodivergent friends. So while that's no evidence and barely anecdote, I wouldn't be surprised at all if you were diagnosed! Best of luck with it!

Same here, actually. I've been off IB for quite some time now, so I know how it feels

Speaking as someone who got his ADHD diagnosis cause I found it impossible to keep to a work schedule, please do find out!

It's worth it if it turns out you have ADHD and you can get meds - I can finally work like a neurotypical person lol

Best of luck. Do remember, your symptoms aren't a moral failing! navigating adhd sucks utter fuck, all victories, big and small, are worth celebrating!

I don't think it's healthy to set solidified schedules for this kind of stuff. I get it for sleeping, waking up, brushing your teeth, those kinds of things, art is different though. You can't really just pull inspiration and get your artistic juices flowing on a schedule. You shouldn't work yourself dry and cause a burnout. I'm not saying you should completely abandon the whole schedule thing, just saying you should work at your own pace. Those are just my thoughts on this, you should probably just ignore what I said, I'm not an expert. Have a good day!
