Sup everybody. Hate to say it, but this will not be a fun post. I debated myself if I was gonna share this or not, but I hope this will inspire anybody out there. Ever since August began, I started feeling weird. The taste of pop started being more bitter than sweet tasting. I started to drink way more water/juice/milk than eating over the last few weeks, and my weight was dropping from my 270s to my 220s. My vision was getting way more blurry even with glasses on, and I started feeling dizzy and weak. Around the 8th I vomited for drinking too much, and I kind of shrugged it off hoping that this weirdness would go away. I thought if I could brave it out, the problem would go away. It didn't. Over the course of the week it was slowly getting worse, especially at my workplace. I would be in a daze and be sitting down on my scrap skid half the time. And that is if I'm not in the bathroom every 45 minutes. So when this Tuesday came around, I had enough of it. I went home from work during the shift, and told my mother the news. I went to the doctor, and I found out I have Diabetes. And every symptom I had checked off every box. I'd talk about my condition more, but that'd be too long. I will say that I have my medicine ready, I'm working on a diet plan and my exercise plan. Luckily for me one of my favorite hobbies aside from animation is walking. So me walking would take care most of my exercise. And last but not least, my determination to make a difference will power through my struggles. If anyone out there knows that they are feeling weird or if they know something is wrong with their bodies, please do not try to "brave it" out. Please do seek help before it's too late. I'm glad I seek help because I have my support on my side as always. Have a good healthy day! :)

man. I just wanna say that you're a great animator, and your animations never fail to make me laugh. If you're as good walking as you're animating i'm sure you'll be able to make it through. it's really hard breaking to hear such news, but i'm glad that you're getting better. I sincerely wish you the best, and hope that you get through this. - J
