Okay, I’m back! I did all the listening and reading I talked about below, as well as some more textfugu, anki and wanikani. I haven’t done many wanikani lessons sadly, because for a few days I didn’t sleep until past 6am, missed my meds, plus had some stuff happen, so I did as much as I could, but my brain was just so foggy and I was emotionally drained. It made learning anything new really hard. I think I’ll be able to sleep tonight, hopefully, so I can do some more learning tomorrow. Though maybe not, since I also have been neglecting my art commissions to do japanese learning instead. I really need to finish my current painting, but I’m trying not to stress over it too much.
Finding balance is so hard sometimes! Especially for those on the spectrum. I’ve been obsessed with japanese learning for officially one month now, (which is an awesome milestone!) but I need to do other things as well. I’m finding the 2 month listening and reading challenges are motivating me to do japanese learning everyday, even on days I feel so drained, so it’s good that I’m motivated to at least do a bit regularly. I hope when the challenges are over I continue to learn everyday, but I also think I might need to cut back a bit. I’m a bit stressed about my commissions, honestly 
Anyway I am still loving learning japanese, plus I’m so close to one month done for the challenges, which is really cool! I’m really happy with my decision to spread out my forum posts too, it gives more to talk about and reflect on.
