hey mika and aztro!! thank you guys for taking the time to respond to my question; it means a lot :-) im happy to share some good news! while i havent gotten accommodations, i did manage to get an adderall prescription! i think i’m in a manageable spot right now, but if things take a sharp turn for the worse again, i’ll definitely look into accommodations too. this time, i wanted to ask for your thoughts on art and creation. visual art has been a beloved hobby of mine for years now—i've taken trad study classes, i draw digitally in my spare time, and it's currently the only way i can get away from my school environment—but i also feel a little stuck. i don't want an art career since i’m not fond of the industry, but i know that i’ll probably always continue drawing as a hobby regardless. for me, when i'm creating things for my own sake, i want the things i make to be packed with my emotions and thoughts, like a raw tidbit of my mind, put on display. recently though, everything i've been making feels really static and flat. i know art block perpetually fluctuates, and the stress from academics and everything else in my life is stifling my creativity somewhat. the fact that virtually no one at my school is genuinely interested in the arts also definitely doesn’t help. still, i wanted to ask: how do you guys deal with art block? does art block when you’re drawing feel different than art block when you’re composing? what are some tips for overcoming this slump? as always, thanks for taking the time to read this! hope yall are having a good day^^ take care and stay hydrated :-) ps (feel free to skip this LMAO): also… i wanted to ask if the sdp crew was planning on continuing the dbh playthrough? it’s unironically one of my favorite sdp series, and watching panda make the choices is. Really Interesting. (ive never seen the girl in the first mission die before lol) no pressure though, just wondering ;o

2024-11-27 08:37:46 +0000 UTCHi, i just got patreon so this is new to me, but i would like my question answered by millennials too. So I’m wondering if i should go off my medication (prozac) because i have been felling real numb since i started and would like to cry and feel happy again, but i dont want to get super gender dysphoric again cause i recently had my head buzzed. Also with mid terms and all that comin up. Love you guys, keep making music 💜

2024-11-24 03:51:43 +0000 UTCHappy Holidays to all my freaks and geeks! The year is ending and I'll enjoy spending it here on these bumpy, sharp edged and uneven logs with you two as the falling snow ends up ruining the fire, leaving us deprived of any warmth with a chance of hypothermia creeping in. I think I can even hear the jingle of santas deer nearby or maybe that's bear feet, it's okay though, after all...feeding the weakest link to the wilderness is what Christmas is all about and Aztro has some noticably shiny bones any large animal would love. Now huddle for warmth as I relay my final problem of the year which is that I don't know what to explore at all, I don't leave my home unless I have a reason to but I feel like I should have more places to visit to get out more. Any areas you recommend I check out that don't require too much blood, effort and sweat? Much like a bear attack. And thanks for all the Sleep Deprived Content this year, slop always tastes better when it's familiar and on a regular basis. P.S. I got gifted a 6 month coupon for therapy time by someone working on the inside of Sleep Deprived Co. so cheers to my free content.

2024-11-23 20:24:38 +0000 UTCOne final question before i leave (for which i might not even hear the answer to, for a long time): i am writing this on the 23rd of November, and at the beginning of the month, in order to test my willpower and self-discipline, i decided to enter this fun little challenge called "no nut november". I have not lost so far, nor do i plan to lose until the end of the month. This challenge has been hard for me, it has challenged me in many ways, but it has been harder for my hamster. All i could do while watching my hamster starve was say "I'm sorry little one" just like thanos did in "avengers: infinity war". I wanted to ask if either of you have decided to enter any challenges similar to this one, and how did it go for you? Thank you for answering my questions about dark souls and which Madagascar character you all would be. Starting from next month I will be lowering my tier from 18€ to 8€. Goodbye.👋

2024-11-23 08:54:10 +0000 UTChello hello hello ! this is my first time ever writing here just because i’m very new to the patreon and it’s just scary to write stuff like this (sighs extremely loud). i will try my hardest to keep this short and sweet because you both and everyone else does not need the sob story. ANYWHO. do you guys have any advice, or just any thoughts on growing up/ the upbringing into adulthood? to simplify the situation just for a bit of back story, yada yada emotionally unavailable parents yada yada yada i’m poor yada yada ENOUGH OF THAT i’ve just been trying to prepare myself for when i grow up. i’ve done most of my maturing alone, and it has lead to me being extremely behind on a lot of things. i was never taught how to clean, the importance id self care, and just stuff like that. i’ve been talking for far too long so i’ll try and wrap it up without yapping more than i already have, but i guess my overall question is if you have any ideas on how to give myself the motivation to do/teach myself those things? ive always been dirty or messy because of the fact i shut down when i clean because it confuses me which obviously sounds silly I DUNNO, anyway. to end this on a good note i do think i AM starting to get my life together a bit. in freshman year (my last year of in person school) i had a 0.3 gpa and now in im doing my junior year online and i have a 3.6 gpa ! and after years of thinking my life was over i want to go to college now so thats great!! okay bye bye sorry for typing so fucking much 🫎 hope you two are well !

2024-11-21 11:34:27 +0000 UTCHey guys! Hope you two are having a good day, once again I'm a huge fan you guys are awesome. First of all I wanted to say thank you for your response to my previous question it helped me a lot :)) I have a new question now I hope it's not too long! So recently I started college and it's been going a lot better than I thought! I have a girlfriend, the best friends someone can ask for, classes aren't too bad, I am now willingly doing volunteer work after taking a break from it like you two suggested, life is going really good. Despite that (and I know this is gonna sound edgy or something) I feel like I'm not happy or to better describe it I don't really feel emotions like I used to and that sucks because I can't think of a reason for this! I've tried multiple things like meditation or taking things easy or some alone time and it's not like they haven't worked but I was wondering what you fellas might recommend because it's still not quite solved! Maybe it's because life changed so fast since I moved to college and to a whole new country but idk. Anyways thanks guys if you answer the question or even if you don't have a lovely day 🤗

2024-11-19 22:56:18 +0000 UTCHey girlies! I have to get my blood tested in a few weeks because I got the worst genes from my parents. I probably have arthritis in my early twenties. Anyways, I have this inane phobia of needles and blood. Even thinking about it makes me feel dizzy. Any advice to help calm my nerves? (Also, Mika, I love Alex unknown sooo much! I scream Johann in my car every day to work. Thank you for that masterpiece)

2024-11-11 08:27:36 +0000 UTCI'm in my first year of college and I go to my local community college that's in a big city. My last months of highschool i lost all my friends and I'm traversing my new adult years alone and it's kinda hard for me to socialize. So how would you suggest i get more out of my shell

2024-11-08 23:32:12 +0000 UTCHi Mika and Astro! first time therapy time commenter here (: i recently got into nursing school at my university. Yay! getting my BSN RN!! im so excited but i know that i have to make a lot of changes, sacrifices, and improve my mental health before i start in january of 2025. (i see a therapist currently) im super nervous about change bc i fear failure, so sometimes i dont attempt things bc i assume the worst of things. Have either of you felt this way? if so, how do you deal with failure and self doubt? if not, what are your favorite ways to manage your time and motivation level? you both are amazing and i love your content. i wish you both happy blessings and sending you happy vibes! -bryn (:

2024-11-08 21:00:25 +0000 UTChey guys, love you both, i guess im just struggling with motivation. i'm currently in college and am going to a college that was hit really hard but hurricane Helene in the western north carolina area that destroyed a lot of the place i call home. i'm sort of a hermit, so i don't have a permanent address, so my college town is the place i feel the most connected to. i had to flee and now i'm with some loved ones states away. after a month, my college is making us go back to virtual classes, but in the aftermath of the storm and in light of the election, it's just hard to go back to learning. i literally had to learn about quantum physics the morning after election day, while I was still actively freaking out. i've thought about dropping out several times but i'm really close to getting my degree and i have some really nice scholarships lined up that i can't get if i withdraw or take a gap year or two. sorry for that being a bit of a vent how do you guys cope with work and get motivated after huge, unexpected life events like this? do you have any advice? im still not really sure how to feel while processing all this.

2024-11-07 21:25:05 +0000 UTCI guess it doesn’t matter as much to Mika but how are you two coping with the election result? Obviously if you don’t want to answer that’s fine but I feel like trump probably isn’t a good present for the near future

2024-11-07 11:47:29 +0000 UTCim glad you enjoy my pfp :3 i drew it in mspaint like 4 years ago. And how dare you make fun of my dang ol ten o'seean acceent. as for the way i type, i am like suuuper dyslexic so it just masks my horrid typing :3 amd if i got a moon house id let you guys rent it out because i think the trips back and forth would stress me out lol. i feel bad writing in when there isnt a bunch i need 2 therapy about. i mean.. yknow, like the election but. not much to say that havent has hasnt that hasnt been said. oh maybe i do, so idk if its just co-inki-dink, or coincidece for the normal people. but sometimes id share a project i was working on and then lose all intrest. Cant tell if it was the sharing it, the new expectations or the people trying to add onto it and then making me not enjoy it or just the people i shared it with. I have 2 big projects and i keep worrying that if i even say im working on them ill start to dislike them... so yeah, you two as ppl who post thingies online how do you like not get worried about like not just making what you want? because i cant work well uinder other peoples guidlines.. now.. if you cant get a moon house, would you accept a standard rural suburban home,,, but,,, in the field from the end of portal 2,,, :3 oh and i feel so special that you enjoy my inablitiy 2 type so ill hit you with the kthxbai again, kthxbai :3 (OH ALSO! the sleepdeprived pjs arrived and they are vry vry comfy!)
