It's funny because good things Are happening to me, but I still feel so tired. I read a comic this week with the line "it feels pathetic to cry with a trophy in your hands" and I really felt that.

I'm on a mission to find my spark and rekindle my passions by any means necessary. I think I'm finding my feet with it, and hopefully the worst is over. Feeling so flat is genuinely quite scary, it makes me feel seriously broken, but I think I'll find a way to figure it out

I drew this yesterday when I was feeling low, and drawing it helped me feel better. I've been feeling kind of flat for a while, things slide off me instead of being absorbed. But drawing it always helps. I wonder if I feel this way because I haven't been drawing like I used to

Also, did you know my book is coming out TOMORROW in the US? Woah! Lavender Clouds is a collection of all my autobio comics about mental health, autism and ADHD! It's big, it's thick, it's hardback, and it has foil! 👀lavendercloudscomic.carrd.co

I try to walk the line now between being aware of what's going on whilst also looking out for my mental health. But I think it's important to be honest with myself regarding whether I'm keeping myself informed or whether I'm bad stimming. It can be both, which is tough!

Thank you to everyone who picked up the slack when I was too unwell to yell about the comics, I feel so held and supported by our little comics community. I love our space so much 🥹 I'm so excited to bring these comics to life and to share them with the world. What a privilege. Thank you so much 💛

This has been such a surreal experience, it feels like the longest month ever. This was kind of a wild time to launch a campaign, without any warning and in the middle of massive Summer back-to-back conventions, but I'm so thankful that you guys rallied for us and helped us get the word out!
