A pattern of spot illustrations, featuring an arctic fox, an arctic tern, a polar bear, some rabbit footprints in the snow, and a forest.

Interior illustration for Nautilus magazine. A figured in a red shirt stands in the middle, as various animals walk around them, depicted in a red/green colour palette.

Book cover for The Night Ends with Fire written by K.X. Song. A figure stands in a field of flowers, as a greenish dragon circles the sky and sits above the figure.

A spread from the book, Little Wolf's Howl, written by Nelly Buchet. Little Wolf chases a butterfly, towards the water. Behind them you can see various backgrounds flowing together, showing all the places Little Wolf has travelled to chase the butterfly.

Any chance you can get a second opinion? Your doctors "diagnosis" seems incredibly out of touch and unwarranted

"Good problem to have" but end of day, its still a problem that's wearing you thin and needs to be addressed. I dont know what solutions to offer, but I genuinely hope that a time comes soon where you can finally breathe. You're still a human being with limits, its not fair to yourself to break them
