Update - It's been a while
🕑 Added 2022-08-05 09:59:59 +0000 UTCIt’s been a while. Let’s get right to my unexpected absence. So, upon returning in May with the intentions of wrapping this production up, I was oddly inundated with a flurry of DM’s on multiple platforms, amongst other issues ongoing at the time. Still not quite understanding what I was dealing with health wise (and I still fully don’t) I tried to address all messages and concerns, but as I would find out later from my therapist, the pressure over addressing such concerns, coupled with the intense anxiety I already had around this project, whose schedule and demands had ballooned far beyond my initial expectations, caused me to have what I’ll just call a pretty bad setback.
Long story short, I was forced to put my entire life on pause (not by choice) until I could get myself to some form of normal functionality. I unfortunately had to cave and start on upped dose of Xanax and have been seeing a therapist regularly since this last event. It seems this problem was more deeply rooted than I had though. Working in a constant state of burnout on my 9-5 and I Snare A Date, coupled with some other (unknown to me at the time) toxic elements that have been in my life for a while, seems to be the root cause of all this. I say seems to be, because I still have some other medical tests I’m kicking down the road to rule out any other possibility.
I was only allowed to return home two weeks ago now and had to slowly integrate myself back into daily life. I’m currently taking steps to move my life in a better direction and into a better place, but because of how important some of these toxic elements of my life have been for as long as I can remember, I haven’t eliminated the core of them from my environment just yet. So, in taking things slow, I have some strict rules I have to abide by for the foreseeable future pertaining to my personal life as well as the future of OCBoon.
I have no plans to stop producing content for OCBoon. Yes, I bit off a hell of a lot more than I could chew with I Snare A Date, but sitting back and watching my creations, regardless of peoples opinions, has been one of the brightest spots in my life since this all began. But to keep this going, starting immediately, I’ll no longer be reading or responding to DM’s. I’ll be taking a hiatus from reading and responding to comments as well, at least until I get this turd of a production off my plate.
It's going to take me a few days to get re-acclimated to I Snare A Date, but rest assured, it’s coming. For those of you who have stuck around, I honestly cannot thank you enough. I found myself at a tipping point a few weeks ago stressing about the medical bills I’ve piled up. To come home and see that some of you have stuck it out literally brought me to tears. Your support before and during my absence has been incredible.
But given the fact I must keep up my 9-5 for the health insurance purposes, my pace overall has taken a significant blow. I do plan on honoring all merit-based rewards at the time of release as previously mentioned; this will be detailed later. I completely understand and accept whatever decision you, my supporters, make moving forward as I drag my limping ass to the finish line of this film. I can’t ask for patience because I know that well must have run dry by now.
Anyways, ted talk over.

Mate your mental health is far more important than finishing the project, remember that you're not alone in your struggle take care of yourself the project will be finished when it's finished but your state of mind needs the most attention, I hope things get better for you and you've already produced some amazing content, you should be proud.
