hello everyone!
to give some context, about a month and a half ago I entered a program to help me recover from my mental health issues. I desperately needed to see a psychiatrist since I realized I had Bipolar II and really needed to be treated for it, and this was the best way for me to get in to see one more quickly. I was honestly at one of the lowest points in my life in terms of my mental health, and I prayed I could recover from it with this program.
well here I am, about 6 weeks later, I will be discharged soon and I feel better than I ever have. after battling Bipolar II for years I finally started a medication for it and I actually have control over myself now, I'm no longer slipping into depressive episodes or dealing with hypomanic episodes. I've learned to see and acknowledge my emotions, and let them go instead of holding onto them and making myself more miserable. I've learned to validate myself and my experiences and emotions, especially as an autistic/ADHD person. I've learned to manage my executive dysfunction and push myself to do things even when I don't really feel like doing it. and most of all, I've gotten my priorities straight. with this, and my new upcoming job opportunity at a nearby library (my dream job), I feel that I'm truly on the road to recovery and I have a lot of hope for the future!!
to celebrate my recovery, I'm holding a free art raffle! this is the kind of art I will be providing for the winner:
a full-body drawing for 1-2 characters, including props, fully colored/shaded (watercolor or chalk style), with a semi-detailed background.
to enter, all you have to do is post in this thread and tell me what you're grateful for in your life! I will be using this website here, to put all usernames into a wheel and spin it to find our winner! the deadline to enter is April 22nd, 2023 @ 9pm EDT.
thank you for your interest and good luck to everyone who enters!
