Life Update

[ceruleanmornings]

Hi all. It has been a couple of months, and I have written 0 words and have done 0 brainstorming for my writing projects, and other projects in general. Why? Well, let's just say that I have finally, officially been diagnosed as someone who is not neurotypical. Pretty severe forms of it from the look of things, and I have been prescribed new medication to try to tackle my symptoms. It made my life in the past few months complicated, to say the least. So many side effects and revelations about myself! But, but but but! I also think, for the first time in my life, I'm approaching what "normal" people feel everyday. I stopped freaking out and spiraling over every little (and big) thing, for one. And hidden within the depth of my neuro-atypical brain, there is now a tiny glimmer of motivation that had not been there before. At least not for the past decade or so. So there is progress, just coming very, very, very slowly.

So yeah, I didn't have the capacity to get up from my bed on some days, never mind working on a fic. I've diligently checked in with the GYWO monthly checker but I put a big fat 0 for progress. Will still be a 0 for this month too, but maybe next month something will have changed. I am hopeful. Until then, I guess. When I finally began any brainstorming I will update here. It'll be an important milestone even though it's probably a miniscule amount of progress. I still would like to celebrate it as an achievement for myself.
