Eyebrows and Eyes W.I.P + One More Life Update
I'm still alive everyone. I'm catching up on the things which have been delayed, including the jacked mesh top - I haven't forgotten. Here is a work in progress of some eyes and eyebrows I've created.
Life and Wellness Update - Feel Free to Skip
Depersonalisation Derealisation disorder has made life extremely unmanageable. It is difficult to not remain dissociated. I am not forthright with just how difficult it is and how much I have been fighting. I tend to feel guilty when I post updates feeling better for a moment then start struggling again - I'm working on that.
I have felt a large amount of shame due to the fact that I am not as capable as I used to be and it is extremely difficult being honest to myself and accepting that reality. I think my memory loss is probably the thing that affects me the most. There are so many things I have don't remember. But I am learning to accept everything now - I've been trying to pace myself as if I am who I used to be but that just results in immediate burnout and stress. I'll pace myself relative to who I am now and we'll see how that goes.
The good news is that I have found genuine help - Professionals who listen to me and better ways to manage and cope with life. It has made it easier for me to face life in the moment and see a future for myself. I will communicate with you all in regards to this part of my life.
Much Love,
Nate

To be open about this is something to be proud of. To help others understand that it is okay not to be okay. You got this and thank you for just being you!
Heyyy,I hope you are doing well, and I was hoping you could make this man as a sim to Download 馃憦馃憦
Hi Nate. Thanks so much for sharing your personal struggles. Please know that I can relate to a lot of what you are talking about. I applaud your honesty! The best we can do for ourselves is never give up! SO YAY YOU! :-) HUGS!!!
Hello Nate, I found your Patreon page just today, but fell in love with your work in a second. The details and effort you put in are amazing. Don't feel guilty if you have ups and downs in life, because you are also just a human. And always believe in thing turning out for the better in the end. Heads Up!!!
That sim is so attractive! Would you ever put him up for download?鉂わ笍

haha...
Glad you're still willing to do well. Take the time you need and stay safe. luv ya
hugs to you dear, praying for clarity and healing of the mind, body and soul! 馃
I am Schizophrenic and also have Early-onset Alzheimer's/Vascular Dementia (the Alzheimer's and dementia were diagnosed only 6 months ago) I relate to your loss :( I hope we continue to find grace within ourselves to make life worth the moments when we are present. Please, take care of yourself!
I'm so sorry for everything that you've had to endure. There is no shame to be had for something that is not in your control. You are doing your best and you have a lot of kind, gentle people here that are cheering you on. I'm happy to hear you have found a good mental health team. That makes such a big difference. Keep your chin up, take it one day at a time. Most importantly, grant yourself the forgiveness and understanding that you deserve and that you no doubt show others. Be kind to yourself. You are loved 馃
I'm not sure how deeply your memory loss is, if it's forgetting a task you did or if it's forgetting memories, but perhaps keeping a journal will help if it's the latter? You're doing the best you can do with the hand you have been dealt, and that, in itself, is success. You've got this.
Hugs to you
Proud of u 鉂わ笍
take care of yourself馃珎
All the love to you, my friend. You are loved for the person you are in every life stage and position you currently are. Sending big big huggles and positive vibes <3<3<3
So sorry to hear about what you鈥檝e been going through. Sending peace and love to you 馃挅
Outstanding job finding help and it鈥檚 so good to hear that you鈥檝e found people who actually listen to you. Something to think about: Shame is a lying SOB. Just saying.
There's no shame in struggling, Nate. Humans are not designed to function indefinitely under prolonged strain. There is enough negativity in this world to challenge each one of us; don't get sucked into the self-destroying habit of creating it for yourself. Try, if you can, to think of one positive thing about yourself every day. Take care.
We'll always support you. You can overcome any adversity that comes your way. The main thing is to stay healthy and live at your own pace
I hope everything goes well for you! <3

You are a person just like everyone else and deserve time to work things out for yourself and we can wait for your amazing content as long as you need 鈾ワ笍 I can't say for everyone but I am here for you if you need anything even if I'm just some stranger to you 馃挏
Looks great! It is good to know you have found help that works for you. You are human and there is only so much you can do. We will understand if you need time. Your health and safety is paramount before anything else. Stay safe.
I am so happy you found help to make it easier.
