To all of my watchers on DA,

I want apologize for not replying to comments left on my Deviant Art (and my other online accounts). I have read and appreciate every comment and all of the criticism and support I receive. I have recently been diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD, different than OCD). One of the most significant effects it has had on me is my inability to write. I stopped pursing creative writing (my passion before photography) because of the manifestation of my OCPD. Because I’m obsessed with every word I write, I’m always dissatisfied. It has become stressful and almost impossible to finish typing essays or journal entries. For the past year I have even avoided writing casual e-mails, messages, or comments because it becomes so overwhelming and frustrating.

I wanted to make it clear that I'm not ignoring anyone that leaves me comments. I am currently taking a medical leave from RISD for behavioral modification therapy. One of the first steps I hope to take is finally replying everyone's comments!
