I'm Not Dead Yet!

***Title from Monty Python and the Holy Grail***


So as you can probably tell, depression got the best of me, hence the lack of blogging. I learn my birth control was making me depressed, turns out it's common for those who are prone to depression to be depressed on birth control. Most people get put on anti depressants, which explains why when I came off my medication that I started getting more depressed. I find it interesting that statistics say women are more prone to depression than men, but I wonder if they take into account how many of those women are on hormonal birth control. Now my goal is to stop putting chemicals (at least via medications) in my body. I'm through with side effects and I don't want to cover them with medication that will only give me more side effects. I best be on the verge of death before taking medication, and even then I'd be skeptical. The good thing about not being on birth control is that my creativity has come back full force. I've been drawing at least one picture a week, and I'm taking my time, not rushing and ending with poor quality.


I have so much to update, yet my brain wont let me, thanks to retail in the holiday season...
