I just realised how long it's been since I posted anything, and I know I'm way behind on commenting D: I'm sorry about that. I thought I should properly explain what happened.
Two or so weeks ago I suffered some kind of muscle spasm (I assume, from what I've read up about it) due to severe eye strain. I had a patch of bright light that wouldn't shift right in the middle of my vision, then the edges started to blur, until I fully lost my sight. It only lasted for fifteen minutes, but it really scared me. Since I was 11 I've had a regular bedtime of 1-2am, but for the past few months I'd been staying up until 4-5am and on the computer for.. lets not hazard a guess at how many hours a day, as well as doing close art work and never looking away from my phone.
I've cut down on my computer use and been getting a lot more sleep, and my sight improved a lot the first week. For the past week it's been a bit.. meh. I've let myself get too stressed about it. Over last weekend I was managing to get nauseous, palpitate and verge on passing out all through the day until Monday. I'm painting dolls at the moment and finding the close up work a little difficult/patchy, but it's definitely an improvement. Still trying to keep down on computer usage though, so that's why I'm a bit absent. As well as Jin, but we're not talking about that.
