[mh][tw: dark thoughts, cw: pet loss mention] A general State of Aeacus for this time of year, but mainly relevant to the games I'm in.

People new to my timeline likely have a vague idea, at most, just how fucky my overall health is. My mental health though takes a huge plummet this time of year, and it can heavily influence my physical health. I'm in chiro/physical therapy, so that'll hopefully count for something... but if it doesn't

I struggle super hard with depression, and I'm not currently in therapy, since that's something I struggle with keeping. I am a very difficult patient! I hate being helped. But anyway my depression symptoms are very, very RNG-like. Some days I will dive into RP hard... and then I might go weeks without the spoons for tags.

So this is the heads up that I might be a difficult RP partner for a while. I do best with folks that don't mind leaning into handwaving stuff to fill any space between threads.

I'll generally do great during the start of events I'm excited for, and I can get into boomerang moods during those

oh, any time you need to handwave something just let me know. I'm okay with that.

But when I've had those creeping dark thoughts flourish in my mind, during quiet times, I'm prone to just vanishing for a week

also I don't care if you are slow at any tags .. I can be that way too.

One Winged : yes please, if only bc of how often they're around one another let us have stupid stuff happening in the background

all you can do is your best and do what you need to!

adds cw for pet loss mention

Mental health is one rough battle, and it probably isn't helping this is our first round of end of year holidays since losing Rio and Zippy.

So... I just keep feeling sad, in general

But yes. I am on some helpful meds, on some good health plans... Just gotta do the daily balancing acts and make sure I don't spend too long letting myself get swept up in thought

Also... remembering to eat. I've gotta figure out good alarm reminders for that bc I do... pretty bad at remembering this! And that is 90% of what'll have me plummeting hard, mood-wise

/curls around and maintains my standard position of gently harassing you with affection and cute pictures whenever you disappear on me

I love the DMs always

Take care and don't worry about needing to handwave anything if it's easier for you! I'm totally flexible about backtagging or handwaving.

I will need to stock up on peng

the babies

If I feel particularly aggressive, maybe I will commission someone to draw More Cute Peng
