Personal State
TW: Drugs
I've not been doing so well. I wasn't sure if I would say this as I am quite embarrassed about it but communication with you seems like a more ideal option. I won't bore you with the details but long story short, my mum is chronically unwell and is getting worse. I also suffer from the symptoms of my chronic illnesses. I am going through a divorce. It's a lot at once for me. The problem is that I have been struggling to cope with it properly and ended up resorting to daily drugs as a coping mechanism (Alcohol, GHB, Ecstasy, Cocaine, Crystal MD and Ketamine). It was to the point where I was genuinely considering Meth. I am under a lot of financial stress as I have tanked my finances due to not caring about my future anymore. I know this is all my fault. I just want to communicate my current life state. I am just happy to have an opportunity for a fresh start.
I know drugs are not the healthy route and I have flushed all that I have. This could have played out very differently and I am thankful I stopped now before it was too late. I am trying my best to recover mentally.
You are all so patient with me already and I feel like I have failed you all. I know I have a lot to catch up on.
I really can't thank you enough for your support and kindness.
Thank you for reading.

How are you doing now? Apart from the seratonin poisoning of course!
Praying for you to have a smooth recovery <3 don't give up please!
Bless you mate, praying for you xx
Prayers, man, I lost a good friend to meth not that long ago. So, I'm glad to hear you're getting better.
Sending love, strength, faith and security your way. You are gifted and share so much beauty with us. Try to keep some of that beauty for yourself too hun.
I will pray for you sends you much love.
I just subscribed but already I see how much of a beautiful soul you are. Thank you for your honesty and openness about your mental and physical state. It is nothing to be embarrassed or ashamed about. That is genuinely a lot on your plate that anyone can struggle with. I am proud of you for wanting to start over and fight for yourself. Please get the help you whether it be NA or AA meetings or therapy. You can come back from this. I believe in you. You are special and will have success.
You have nothing to be embarrassed about. You are owning your mistakes and mental health status. That takes strength and courage to do. I'm proud of you for flushing what you had left of the drugs. I recommend finding some NA meetings in your area, if possible. There are also online ones if you don't have anything near you or if you are unable to travel to places. Remember that sobriety is one day at a time, sometimes even one moment at a time. Keep that mindset that "first thought is wrong" meaning to stop and think before you take action with anything. Don't give in to that first thought/impulse. My heart goes out to you. I'm sending so much peace, comfort, and strength your way. You've got this. There is light after the dark.
it took a lot of courage for you to share this with us, N. you have a lot of love and support in your corner. take it one day at a time. sending you warmth.
Sending you so much love you will fully recover
Sending good and healing vibes to you. You are strong and not alone, never forget that ♥
I hate to hear this; I could not imagine how hard this is for you. I want you to know you are never alone!! Do not feel like you need to apologize either because you shouldn't and it makes me sad you feel like you needed to. You need to take time for yourself so you can get the healing you need. I'm sending all my love your way and I pray things get better soon! We have to get through these dark days, but I promise you've got this! Much Love <3
So many many many hugs to you! You are going through the absolute ringer, and it's hard to cope, especially with everything going on. Thank you for bravery in sharing and know that so many of us get it, been in there in some way or another. We see you, and so much love to you, and so much respect. You're not alone, and you are worthy, loved, and valued *always*.
Take some time to set things on a good path forward. That means taking time to look down multiple routes and to breathe after everything with a clear mindset; no judgement about drug use. The only time I think drug use is negative is when used to avoid reality for the wrong reasons. Everyone has at some point or another. Best of luck figuring everything out and moving ahead.
I am truly sorry for what ur going through and I'm sending lots of positive vibes and I hope that ur mom feels better soon and know that u are strong and u will overcome this don't give up and keep pushing forward regardless of what is thrown at u. I know is easy said than done but u got this. I speak of an experience I almost lost my mom my health was deteriorating and my relationship forget about it. Just know that u are strong n u can do this! Love and light to u n ur mom.
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I hope you get your life back in your hands and have other opportunities to assert yourself. a big hug from Italy.
I can only imagine how it feels to be in your situation. Sending lots of love <3
Mate, I have been there...so, so many times. I suffer from dysthymia, and compounded with life's continual kick in the b*llocks, it's like staring into a black abyss. It's f*cking dark and it's so f*cking lonely! I also get on the gear or drink when I arrive back to that never ending hellhole...it dulls the symptoms and temporarily provides an escape...but it is NOT a cure, because there is none. I refuse to take medication for it because it makes me feel inhuman, like a zombie. I know in time the episode will pass and I will come out the other side, but it gets harder all the time. The reason I'm spewing all this sh*t is that in that darkness...the one I sometimes want to swallow me up forever...there is a light, however faint, to walks towards. It's not going to jump up and down and say "Hey, f*cker, I'm right here!"...you have to find it. Don't ever give up trying to find it. Knowing that it exists, and it does, is reason enough to keep struggling towards it, no matter how weak you feel. I lost my Mum and am about to lose my Dad. I had to give up on relationships because I am a bit too damaged...but I always know, no matter how much sh*t life throws at me, there is still that weak-assed light somewhere taunting me to find it. Keep going, brother...keep going. Don't bury yourself in drugs and alcohol. I won't be a hypocrite and tell you not to use it..just know when it's time to quit. Sending you all the hippy love sh*t I can possibly muster through telepathic abilities I don't have.
it is a hard struggle but you are a strong man and an incredible artist. be strong and please stay well. we all love the things you do and although I really don't know you but your just amazing. you can win this fight dig deep and please pull though as strong and healthy as you are. everyone is here for you and anytime you need to talk I will be on the other side. your incredible and well loved. thank you for your amazing skills.
I'm so sorry Bub. That takes alot to admit. Take one day at a time my friend, but you can do this. As dedicated and talented as you are at your work, you can make it through to the other side. Best of wishes 🙏
I am so sorry, this sounds very hard. Please take your time to recover and seek help if possible.
I'm so sorry this is happening to you. You will be in my thoughts. You can get through this.
know that you can get thru this and you arent alone !. you are in my prayers <3.
It's so sad to read your post. You are talented, brave and generous, and i can’t believe this is happening to you. You need help, please, ask for it because you can’t face all these challenges all alone.
Hey thank you for sharing. I wish you all the best and hope things start looking up. for you. Thank you for all your hard work. It is much appreciated.
I can only feel compassion for you, it's sadly pretty current in our community, but the good thing is that many of us manage to over pass this :) and i'm sure you will manage to reach a happy place at some point, as someone already said, Admitting you have a problem is already such a big and brave step. You're not alone ;), we all give you our strength.
We are by your side and you are brave and very strong. Hang in there !
Sorry to hear about your situation. You can do your best! Please take your time and take case of yourself.
praying for your healing and recovery! you are not alone 🤎
Hang in there. And I hope you get the help and support that took need. Praying for you and your family too.
Praying for you and your family.
take care of you !!! happy new life !
We are by your side and always on your side ❣
You are brave and strong, telling us this is such a huge step into a healthier direction.
Admitting you have a problem is already such a big and brave step. Don't put your work before your health. No amount of sims content or Patreon rewards is worth your stability. Please, take as much time as you need. Hell, take as much time as you *want*.
This just brought literal tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for sharing but more importantly thank you so much for your bravery. There's a saying going around as of late "At the end of the day the day gonna end" it means that no matter what happens in the day especially in those dark moments the day has got to end and with that a new chance to do better and see clearer tomorrow. Be kind to yourself <3 Even in moments of accountability especially.
Mental health is important. Definitely ask for help. I am a MD and I work with a humanitarian organization called MSF and I understand stress and stressful situations. Never be afraid to ask for help and we need people to reach out so the stigma of mental health can continue to evolve. Good luck dear and take care.
I hope you feel better, take all the time you need <3
We appreciate your honesty you and for your family will be in our prayers, first of all your health and your moms is more important than anything even creations, if you need to take time off do it and sort out what is more important. We your patreon's we are going nowhere we will be here waiting if you need to take time off, because we care. May God give you the strength and blessings to help you succeed in all you need my friend , take care
You’re very brave for being honest. You are taking steps in the right direction. We love you! You haven’t failed any of us. I’m wishing you love, healing and sanity. Your wellbeing comes first ❤️
It is so hard what you are going through, but you are doing the best thing with one step forward at a time. We are really proud of you, Goly!!
I am sorry you are experiencing these difficulties but the first thing that you are doing well is recognizing your faults and try to right your wrongs which at the end of the day is what will get you to the other side. I'm so proud of you. Honesty and bravery and my hope for you is too fully stick to get in your cell phone right path and I pray that you stay there. We all have adversities, but it's how you get through it. That makes you. So what you doing and if you found a path that is good for you to keep positivity in your life stay there. And take your time, your community will always be here for you.
I would just like to let you know that you are not alone in feeling like this or experiencing these things. You've made a brave decision to be honest with people who, despite enjoying your Sims creations, do care for you as a person. I think it's important to take things a day at a time and try not to put too much pressure on yourself. I'm wishing you all the best and I'm hoping that things get easier for you.
One of the hardest things to do, is to admit that you need help or have made some mistakes. You've done that, and that takes incredible courage and strength. Please be kind to yourself and take each moment one at a time. Each moment as it comes. It's hard, but you CAN do this. We are all here for you and take what ever time you need to take to be kind to yourself. Take care and look after yourself. xoxo
It was incredibly brave of you to push past your embarrassment to write and post this and you should be proud of yourself for having done so. Please try to surround yourself with those who support you. Your work and generosity in sharing it is appreciated by all. Best of luck with everything and try to remember to be kind to yourself and extend some of that generosity of spirit to yourself.
Hi Nathaneal, I literally found your account last night and started enjoying your creations. But what I wanted to say was truly, good luck. To the new beginnings and recovery of yourself and your mom. Thank you for being so open. I hope you find strength in those who support you. Your work posted will still be enjoyed by many!! But for now, take care.
You're so brave for owning your truth N, big hugs from Texas honey! <3 prayers for you and your mama
Please take care of yourself first, I truly hope that things will get better soon and know that we will always be here to try and support you through hard times!!! Don't force yourself too much Goly!
This is not failure! You stopped! This is a new beginning to do better and be thankful you are still here with us! On this Good Friday of Holy Week, I pray for your recovery and your Mom! God bless you! You are loved!
Take care of yourself. You must take care of yourself first. If you are not well mentally, physically, and emotionally, then you'll find yourself stuck in a deep dark hole of regret. Take care of yourself, please. Sorry to hear you're going through a divorce. Sometimes, what feels so like the end of one chapter is the start of a new and more beautiful chapter. Find things you really enjoy doing and use those things to help you cope. Creative activities are usually really helpful. Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way!
Please take care mate, wellbeing above all. We lot care for you & want to see you thrive in everything
As a recovering addict I completely understand the struggle. You are already taking the correct steps to better your life and that is something to be very proud of. If you ever need any advice or even just an ear, reach out, I am here. Many prayers and good vibes your way!!
You have not failed ANY of us. We are human. We all struggle, make mistakes, and have times of weakness. And unfortunately, I understand the struggle with chronic illness. You're trying to be the best version you and we are here for you. It's not easy, but you are not alone in this. ❤ Your health and well-being come first. I pray for you and your mom. 🙏🏼
You come first health wise and I understand some of the hardship you are going through. My dad passed away over a year ago and my mind is still not where it needs to be because of the grief and also because of life's stress and it's unpredictability to weigh on me. It's such a a struggle to hang in there and to keep moving forward but it'll eventually get better with lesser bumps in the road. My energy and my heart goes out to you and your mother and don't feel like your at fault here with your Sims community. We got your back and your best interest! 🤲🏻🙌🏻🫂
Please take care of yourself! your health and wellbeing is the most and only important thing 💕
Aww thanks for being so open for us. Please take your time as long as you need. And I'm really sorry about your mum. All the best wishes <3
Please don’t feel I like you have failed anyone! We are all here for you! Unfortunately I was in a financial hardship so I couldn’t resubscribe this month, but I got your back moving forward! Keep your head up and I’m glad you caught yourself. Sometimes giving it up is hard but the person you become after makes it worth it 🙌🏾 we all have your back and really appreciate your content!
Hey don't worry man.. This is your Darkest Night of Your Soul (spiritual term, not judging).. I experienced similar hardship back in 2015, to the point of S word and end up in psychiatric ward. I'll send love and prayers for your healing, to you and your loved ones.. Take care ok.
Oh god, I hope things get better soon. :( sending love and hope your way. You’re doing great already, good luck forward. 🩵
Focus on personally healing❤️❤️❤️
🥺 we love you and please no pressure on putting stuff out .
