to start things off, 2016 has probably been the worst year I've ever had so far when it comes to money and health.
Health wise, when i finished working at the Titanic Exhibition at the end of March, i fell into depression hard again. There were signs of hitting rock bottom last year, but i managed to persevere through until I got a job for 5 months. But this year was a new low that made me resort back to going to the doctors and getting back onto antidepressants. I was previously on them from 2009-2011 but managed to sort my shit out and get off them. So here I am, 5 years later and back on them.
Things have been a bit better since getting medicated but I'm still not 100%. Ive been seeing my counsellor again for help, as well as a hypnotherapist that my aunt wants me to see. So hopefully i can get better again soon.
But it all mostly boils down to the cause. Money. I need a job ASAP. Money is such an issue right now, its beyond a joke. I keep having to get my mum to bail me out but she doesn't have an endless supply of money herself. So I'm desperately looking for work and hopefully start getting myself financially sorted.
in brighter news, I'm off to Sydney at the end of the week for the SGAU Ball. so excited to just be able to chill out and hopefully forget all my issues. don't worry, ill be living off bread for a week while there hahaha. And to be honest, the thought of looking for work while there hasn't passed my thoughts. Since there is fuck all here in Perth.
Lastly, I just submitted my second SG set to HQ. I shot Triksta earlier in the year, but due to my depression, it took a while and the help of the lovely AtlanticLungs to get it edited and submitted. So ill post if it gets accepted or not.
So thats me for now. Can only hope they things turn out better once I turn 30 in Oct and 2017 rolls around to bring forth a much better year for me.
Stuart.
