Hello everyone! Wooper and I wanted to give you a small update.
(cw: mental health)
When I made this account way back when, it was a very not-good time in my life. Things were bleak, I felt isolated and adrift in a new city far from home, and I was struggling heavily with what I now know was clinical depression. (I& #39;m okay now!)
When I made this account way back when, it was a very not-good time in my life. Things were bleak, I felt isolated and adrift in a new city far from home, and I was struggling heavily with what I now know was clinical depression. (I& #39;m okay now!)
I took a lot of solace in those days inhabiting a world where, rather than everything that was happening, I had a cozy and comfortable life with everyone& #39;s favorite slimy baby Pokémon. And it felt like such a blessing to not only find that comfort, but share it with all of you.
That comfort was the foothold I needed. I forged new friendships, and strengthened old ones. I found purpose in my relationships with the people in my life, and in the work I was lucky enough to be able to do. I got even luckier to find accessible, affordable treatment.
Wooper is what made all of that possible.
But at some point, I woke up one morning, and I realized that I no longer had to inhabit the fantasy of being happy, because I -was- happy. Wooper would have been right there smiling back at me. (And then pestered me for pancakes.)
