Why buy something when you could spent dozens of hours and * checks watch * wait, also spend way more money??

I started meds after I had COVID and was already experiencing long term symptoms (brain fog but also fatigue). So I do feel less foggy after starting meds but I also still have more memory problems than I used to pre-COVID. I also have had increased brain fog lately because I'm tapering off a different need and have had brutal withdrawal from it. I just don't think I can tease apart what's coming from where.

I like heyalissandra on IG because she does mostly handlettering which I'm getting more into, and because she posts a lot of easy to understand Procreate tutorials.

Both, though in some ways my fog has gotten worse and I believe this is from long covid and changing other medications. So it's hard for me to really judge that for now.

Yeah, I definitely feel the same way. Like, I don't know if this makes sense, but the joy of living alcohol free without it being in the context of providing support to people who are struggling? Sometimes I'm in the space to visit the difficulties of not drinking, but sometimes I'm just not. The separation for me feels kinda like, "stopdrinking," and "notdrinking." Does that make sense?

It seems like our opinion is the minority so I'll probably wait a bit and see what happens :)

Huh, maybe I just missed those interactions. Or they were within threads that were more support-oriented. There were definitely days I skipped those posts because I wasn't in a frame of mind for it.

I got diagnosed in my mid-thirties and finally getting on medication for it literally made me cry because of how normal I felt.

As for me, I'm pleasestopasking. I've been using Procreate for a few years now. I have a 2nd Gen iPad Pro and 1st Gen Apple Pencil, so pretty old gear but it's still kickin'!

Procreate has really helped me grow as an artist. I have ADHD and have some related difficulties with visual-spatial processing. Getting my hands to make what I see in my brain has always been hard, so I didn't practice enough because it was so frustrating, which meant it continued to be frustrating. I love being able to endlessly manipulate my sketch on Procreate until it looks exactly how I want it to without tearing a hole in my paper from erasing 😅 And the more I practice the better I'm getting at physical sketching, too.
