Update
🕑 Added 2025-04-12 19:25:07 +0000 UTCHey everyone, I just wanted to give you a quick update on how I’ve been doing.
I know I’ve been quiet the past month or two. I’ve been working on a project to improve my animation workflow and a new animation with Busty-chan, and while that’s been going well in some ways, I’ve also been pushing through some intense burnout.
I kept trying to force myself back into Blender, thinking I just needed discipline—but no matter how many times I returned, I felt drained and sluggish. Around the time of the Discord breach, I started experiencing frequent panic attacks, and ever since then, my energy’s been dropping fast. It got to a point where my body just began shutting down on its own.
What I’ve learned is that I’m currently in something called a dorsal vagal state—a nervous system response to long-term stress where the body sort of powers down to protect itself. I’ve been stuck in bed these past few days, and even resting has been difficult.
As much as I want to keep working, my body’s clearly asking for real recovery, not another push.
That said—I’m still here. I’m still alive. I’m still deeply grateful for all of you and your support. I’m working hard, not just to get back to normal, but to come back stronger, clearer, and more grounded.
I appreciate your patience while I find my rhythm again. Thank you for sticking with me.

Thank you JZ, I'm grateful for the support. It's true what you say. I think this shutdown was a humbling lesson for me. I can't keep pushing myself and pretend it's not affecting my body. I'm going to have to take self-care a lot more seriously than I have before. Though the good news so far is that I'm starting to recover! I hope I can come back soon. Thank you for your patience!

Thank you, it's a learning process, but I'm getting there

sometimes do something that wasn't in routine might helps! and thanks for all your hard works you do coach🫡 also true that can't wait to see more render/animation for Busti-chan and Huzme soon as possible, but for their sake and yours, can wait a decade

Get well, don't exhaust yourself.
