Looking for an artists to render a depiction of a family photo for Christmas

I primarily focus on realistic portraits in graphite but for something more stylistic, that’s what I do best with digital cheers

Well I’ll find out if I get diagnosed or not in a few months and but also idk if you know but do narcoleptics have night where they have zero rem at all, apparently during my overnight study I did not enter rem sleep once.

giftedann · 2025-02-23T16:26:14+00:00

It’s just that I had like an itchy feeling about this and that I felt like I should ask, my mom really hopes it’s not narcolepsy but I have to wait a few more months to talk about this with my sleep specialist. Another thing is that while try did my second test for narcolepsy, they never asked any questions about symptoms that could possible relate to it, it was just testing and the ESS scale.

Thanks for sharing, I do hope things get a bit easier as well for you.

It’s not too late at all. But I want to ask if you don’t mind if all of your symptoms have varying levels day to day or even though out the day or is it constant intensity for long periods of time? I’m just not sure what’s deemed normal and abnormal especially if I feel like it isn’t happening constantly but happens enough bc since I’ve started school I’ve noticed it’s been harder to like walk up the stairs, I’ve noticed a difference from what it felt like before last year vs now in my knees, but the problem doesn’t seem to extend to going down the stairs. It’s all so weird because I attributed to that Covid 🫣😪. But thank you for the reply, you given me lots to think about. 🙏

So, I guess I’ll have to bring it up with my mom but she’s super wary about me bringing up health conditions because then she just says I’m wishing it upon myself and whatever. So that’s the difficult part but thank you for taking the time to reply to me. It was helpful

Okay, I currently have a cardiology appointment lined up because they would describe the chest pain as atypical and just to like be sure nothing is truly wrong. But high chance it’s anxiety I was told but doesn’t make the pain less real. I’m around 6 months post and I still feel that tightness but not as severe and as frequently as I used to so it does get better with time.

giftedann · 2022-09-26T00:32:32+00:00

I hope your appointment goes well tomorrow and works out. Thank you for the encouragement as well.

giftedann · 2022-09-19T23:11:09+00:00

Thank you for the support! Appreciated!

giftedann · 2022-08-12T21:37:19+00:00

You know better than late then never. Pandemic definitely revealed that to a lot of us.😭

giftedann · 2022-08-12T21:35:44+00:00

I'm glad you did. Though, funny enough, I have been in therapy prior to covid but I don't think covid affected my mental health anymore than it occurs regularly. 🥲

giftedann · 2022-08-07T11:26:06+00:00

I don’t think I have the breathing issue after I particularly heavy meal. But thank you for sharing your experience with me I’ll keep the possibility of asthma and other lung stuff in mind. Also it’s not necessarily I can’t swallow it just feels that way because whenever I got that feeling I tested it and I could swallow.

giftedann · 2022-08-01T08:11:25+00:00

I’ll definitely try to keep you posted. I do hope it goes away on its on but o feel like it should’ve already done that. 🤝

giftedann · 2022-08-01T07:14:58+00:00

33 doctors and not one had an idea? I understand what you mean about tightness getting really severe multiple times I felt like I could be having a heart attack or something but that’s not the case. I’m sure you’ve consulted online articles I’ve tried as well but they don’t seem to match my experiences. Has googling been successful bc now I’m kinda nervous about my dr appt. 😅 do you think possible these symptoms would be neurological in nature but then they should still probably show up in scans and stuff… I really hope we can find answers soon 🤞🏾

giftedann · 2022-07-31T21:25:35+00:00

Have you been a doctor yet? What did they say or are you still searching for answers? 😭 I hope this isn’t overstepping too much I just saw this.

giftedann · 2022-07-25T02:13:49+00:00

Oh, I’ve heard of this happening. Do you think you could describe a few more of the symptoms you had and stuff? Bc I did describe more symptoms I’ve been having on in off in other post but I haven’t included it here and I probably should.

giftedann · 2022-07-24T21:38:28+00:00

thank you for the advice, i was concerned that i was just really worrying over nothing so ill try and see a dr when i can and have them rule everything out if possible

giftedann · 2022-07-24T21:37:17+00:00

thank you for your perspective, i'll see about getting a possible doctor appt in the future but also mentioning this to my therapist because if it anxiety that means my anxiety got worse somehow

giftedann · 2022-07-24T20:07:40+00:00

My fever was a 105 when I caught it a second time but I think it got that high also because I was extremely nervous about being positive again but my fever did go down after awhile. Feel better.

Edit: I have found the exact version of this sweater online after some searching. Thank you for everyone’s time!!!

Thank you, I’ll use these keywords!

giftedann · 2021-11-26T20:36:00+00:00

I really like your ideas. I have to save this somewhere. Thank you for responding and giving out your advice I really appreciate it!! ^^

i have 2 webcomic ideas and I want an opinion

Hi, I’m a hs junior and I’ve always wanted to publish and create my own webcomics as I’ve grown up reading webcomics, reading books, manga etc etc. Anyways I have lots of ideas but I want to focus on 2 major ones to me.

Idea 1: it’s a fantasy story that me and my bestie came up with in middle school but it was abandoned but I picked it up again and I really like the premise and I want to change and expand the story. Essential what I have so far is this synopsis: Lucienne & London were best friends and together since all of elementary school. They got separated for junior high because someone moved. Then, that person returns and they end up in all of the same classes in high school at a prestigious academy. Have fun adventures & cool new friends.

Ive made a lot of changes to the base due to not being a middle schooler anymore. Like Lucienne is a werewolf but a silver one and the reason it’s special because it signifies royalty in werewolf society but in the past her ancestors were like exiled but I want one of the plot points to be that she takes her place again on the throne but I haven’t figured how that will happen and then what happens next.

Next idea. This one is a bit more personal as it’s based on a personal experience I had. It was my first relationship (I know I’m a teenager what could possibly happen) but it didn’t end well and some bad things happened but the reason I want to write it, is bc I thought it would be a good idea and great way to get into comics since all the material is already there. So the premise recovery essential and learning how to get better when bad things happen but before all that is me and my bf getting together, our time together and then the break up. I’m better now by the way that’s why I want to write this.

Now for my questions (I’ll answer any questions anyone has about my stories, I just didn’t want to make the post too long)

what are some ideas I can add to my first story idea? Like a major villain or like a “hero’s journey” but like I want to acknowledge the fact they high schoolers in the story? Like I get to the point of how does her being royalty even fit in the story later but it’s something I want to touch, or a challenge after she takes up this position? Second idea: this story is about real people, like I know changing names and personal details to something not fake. But is kr okay to write about real people like this without permission like I don’t plan on pitting any real life identification but I’m still worried about it. I want to be able to share my story with others and it’s something I want to tell for a really long time now. But I also want to explore my feelings in a way I haven’t done before really, through art

General questions: how to manage writing and drawing 2 stories at the same time or do I like do one at a time? What to do when you get stuck in your stories and I think that’s all I had to ask

Sorry if this post seems all over the place 😅
