Updates (Good and bad news)

Good news: 

I've already began working on top tier patron's rewards. Also, i've decided to make some adjustments to this here patreon page, for the better soon. These changes will include raffles for the non-reward tiers, so that those of you who support me, have a chance to get something in return (reward tiers likely wont participate), polls every now and then that anyone can partake in, asking which characters you all want to see drawn (data on which characters to have in the polls will be collected from whomever responds to the call for characters), and something else...unique, i'm still brainstorming. Of course, all of these things will be added IF the bad news I have is resolved, and unfortunately, that's all on my actions, and no one else.

Bad news: 

So a bit about me; since I was 14, I rarely ate anything, slept a lot, and was just overall physically unhealthy. This has followed me to today, where I am 25, going on 26 in a couple of months. I visited the doctor about 3 months ago, and weighed 121lbs (consistently 120-121 for a few years now, standing at 5.11 in height. My doctor told me that I have to start eating regularly to avoid health issues, and for once, I took it seriously. For the past 3 months, i've been eating at least twice a day, instead of like once every other day. I have kept at it for 3 whole months, eating healthy, and normal portions for my size. Something I haven't done in over a decade. It's been rough, forcing myself to eat when I don't want to at all, drinking protein shakes, getting up and exercising more, you know, having normal habits. And come today, what do I have to show for it? I am DOWN to 116lbs...I lost weight. I followed the doctors orders to a T, and im losing weight when trying to gain it. I don't understand how. I'm now constantly tired after a healthy 8-9 hours worth of sleep, more so than I typically was back before I started trying to gain weight, and my appetite is arguably worse, to where now, I feel I can only force myself to eat when I drink. I scheduled another appointment with the doctor, because I am feeling a lot worse than I have any business feeling with this utter lack of energy I have now.

What does this all mean? Well, naturally, I am taking a considerable amount of time off from my job in foster care. That's already been taken care of. "But Broham, what about patreon?" I hear you ask. Well i'll soldier on as normal until my Bday in December. I'll see what the doctor has in store for me this time and follow their advice. If things continue to get worse, I will be closing this page until I work out my problems. I will still draw of course, i'm not dropping hobbies. But i'm not gonna pretend that my lack of energy/will power hasn't been getting in the way of keeping up with my tasks here. I am only awake for a few hours of the day usually now, a little more than a few if I'm hangin out with my brother online. I truly am working my ass off to turn this problem around. So please, be patient with me if I don't meet my own made up monthly quotas nowadays. I will complete everything I said I would, it just takes longer now. Man. Remember when I use to be able to draw something in just a few hours? Good times. 

Anyway, last thing I want to say is don't pity me please. I despise pity parties. 

That's all for now. For everyone in tiers lower than the top one, be thinking of what you want, and send them to me please by the end of the month.
