You're under no obligation to do those panels, especially if they're causing you this much pressure. Let someone else host them or cancel them now, there's still plenty of time for that, and it's not like you're on the hook for them monetarily.

Thank you, Cashie. 💝

Three motherfucking panels for a con that's in a month's time; I could've cancelled EVEN ONE when they all got accepted

Agreeing to work on a stupid, hare-brained home automation project for my dad that I don't have the knowledge nor wherewithal to attempt

Trying desperately to keep up with art

Is there any way I can help you with some of these?

the.choco.one•8 days ago

I'll think about it, thanks hun.

Few commissions

Hemorrhaging money

NEW, EXPENSIVE computer S T I L L isn't fully functional

Genuinely feels like I'm heading towards total catastrophe

Please put yourself first. I've seen other folks suggest some viable ways to help cut down on your workload. We're all here to help if we can, yeah?

Deep breaths, puppybun.
Deep breaths.

Take a moment, center yourself, assess the situation; what can you take off your plate, what can you move back, what can you do quickly?

Can you get co-panelists to help with prepping them?
Can your dad agree to wait until your professional obligations' done?

the.choco.one•8 days ago

I could but all of those feel like giving up and I can't do that

Seconding Lilla on this. You may feel like you have no time to sit right now, but I'm betting you can take 5 minutes to walk away, preferably outside or even just in your own bathroom (anywhere away from stimuli), and breathe.

If you have more time, run thru this routine:

Delegation of tasks and reassessing what you can handle is not giving up.

Pretend that it's me in your situation, picture it in your mind; What advice would you give to me? What feelings am I expressing that you would try to reassure me about? What kindness would you extend to me?

It might be delayed success, but it's certainly not giving up.

Sun Tzu told us that to win a war, one must be able to adapt to a situation, not unlike water flows through a river. And also, that plans hardly ever survive contact with the opposition.

It's not a complete loss if it lets you win. <3

Thanks Lilla. I needed to hear some of this today.

It's not giving up to exist within the means of your initial expectations. You didn't expect them all to get accepted, you presumably didn't expect your dad to ask something like this of you

So give yourself two or three months to do the stuff that doesn't make you money instead of one

summervixen.bsky.social•8 days ago

The most important thing is making money tbh

Your dad can wait, or can figure something else out

You're a very good bunny. You can pace yourself and do the practical things you need to do first. Don't be a mad spring hare 🧡
