It’s taken Me a while to write this.
For the past 3 years, a team of specialists have been trying to diagnose My very bizarre symptoms. They have been both painful, and completely debilitating; not to mention incredibly isolating. This disease has affected My ability to function normally, keep a normal work schedule, and survive mentally, during a pandemic that is especially trying for everyone, not to mention people in our industry.
Today, I have finally been diagnosed with a trifecta of Crohn’s Disease, Ankylosing spondylitis, and I.T.P.
I feel *some* relief to finally know; however, mostly I am validated that My lifelong battle with severe Anxiety and depression has some relation to how I feel inside.
I have been, shamelessly, on some form of antidepressants and anti anxiety medications since the tender age of 19. I had already been working in the industry for a year at that point. Although western medicine still doesn’t understand this bizarre link, today, the confusion of why both My body and mind were disrupted so severely as one, and induce symptoms in the other as one, gives Me a small amount of peace.
After a move to a new location that was both more apt for online work, fabulous filming with the new space I have, and better for both brain and body-I have been in such pain daily-that I am not able to complete these goals at this time.
This is as unsettling for Me to share as it is difficult, both as a dominant and a human being.
This work is both My livelihood, and My passion; however, I cannot any longer pretend for the sake of Social Media, and the face of My business, that everything is okay.
It isn’t. I do need help.
I need the support of My friends, fans, clients, and close subs alike.
As I prepare for a surgical procedure to alleviate some of the more obvious symptoms, I will be safest relaxing, bathing, meditating-trying to survive. Medical expenses, not to mention My inability to work at this time, are taking their toll.
I cannot provide for you at this time what I so desperately would like to. Although I have absolutely zero plans to leave the industry, My influence and healing as a Professional must shift for now. I am asking anyone who reads this to look out for someone you love today.
You truly never know what they may be dealing with. I look forward to sharing My art, content, and skills with you all in the hopefully very soon future-universe willing.
In the meantime, I will be staying of Twitter for the most part, and appreciate ANY and ALL donations for medical expenses, or sharing of this link that are sent at this time.
