I remember a story on Reddit a few years ago this guy.. Went through a kind of hilarious but actually terrifying realization. At first he thought someone was breaking into his house. Nothing was being stolen, but things were always moved around, like he would come into the kitchen and some cupboard doors or the refrigerator was randomly open, sometimes there'd be like a half eaten sandwich on the table- not like days old leftovers, but fresh. So he thought someone had broken in and was hiding. He did like a really thorough search everywhere through the house, basement, roof cavity, everywhere but and found no one. After that he started being really conscious of keeping doors and locked, installed extra locks on his windows, even put CCTV cameras on all his entry points.

Few weeks later, it was still happening. Random half eaten food he didn't prepare left around, doors open, sink full of dishes he hadn't used, he even noticed his bathroom products were being used, even noticed he would go to brush his teeth, and the brush was already wet! He reviewed all the CCTV footage in painstaking detail - sure enough, no one had entered or left the house except for himself. SO he became convinced he had a ghost living in his house. This went on for months. It got to where he was actually finding post-it notes, NOT in his handwriting, just innocuous things like reminding him of errands he had to run, but had told no one about.

He actually posted on reddit looking for legal advice - he thought maybe his landlord was letting himself in, eating his food, leaving notes around and using his toothbrush. Someone eventually suggested getting an air quality meter. Turns out, he had dangerous levels of carbon monoxide caused by a gas leak. All the weird unexplained things that were going on, actually was just him, but his brain was getting addled so bad from CO poisoning that he was actually just doing all this stuff himself and forgetting. He would make himself a sandwich and just completely forget he had done that. He would brush his teeth and forget, and go to brush again right after. He would shower, but he was sweating so much due to low oxygen he would go take another, and wonder why the shower was still wet and his products had been used. It was all him, high on CO fumes.

So, here's the thing - the amount of CO2 that YOU would be producing by yourself by breathing, is NOT enough to cause bad air quality. Unless you're living in an airtight box, there should be enough air flow, even just through cracks in the doors and windows, to keep the air fresh enough to live safely. There is a good chance your air quality is being affected by some external factor.
Very fact that you can make funn from everything at the very end of text tells me you will be alright :) and if dark shadows linger around I will bash away them with some silly babbling :)
It is good you have clear air.
btw if you can go for a walk each day even if only for 20 minutes!

I'm glad that you found what could of been causing some brainfog and gotten things to fix some of it. I Don't know what else to say but the amount of comments show that there lots that still come and try there best to show there love of your art and yourself as a person, if ever up for it i can set up a discord so can see people see replys with a thumbs up or heart or a reply to a reply XD

Just ways could help :) TKnight93
Regarding emotional burnout and the difficulty of responding to comments, I understand you well, and I want to share my problem related to something similar, perhaps you have something similar and then it will turn out that I understand you.

Sometimes it is difficult for me to convert emotions into words so that it sounds harmonious and competent, like something more than "Well, this is fucked up." There were situations when I really empathized with people, felt their pain, but wanting to respond I had a choice, to be sincere but tongue-tied, or more eloquent but less sincere, more forced.

Like a sincere reaction will probably be more like repeating monotonous sighs and swearing (approximately like "oh ... fuck, bro this is fucked up, ufff, complete shit") but it will be more sincere, while trying to express it more competently, I involuntarily switch my attention from the essence of the problem to attempts to correctly format the text. I still sympathize but such a text is not a direct reflection of emotions, but rather a short speech.

Maybe you have something similar, if so then... damn, in many ways it's your guys, be yourself and stick to a schedule that is convenient for you, no need to torture yourself and force yourself to write something, in the end all these comments are for you, because people wanted you to live and continue to create.

Привет, Yuni. Насчёт СО2 - неплохое приобретение! Тоже, пожалуй, куплю себе, потому что датчик СО2 дома есть, а очистителя нету, даже не в курсе, что они существуют ) Кроме тебя, кстати, много кто вынужден дома сидеть взаперти, в том числе по несколько лет. Есть одна страна, где идёт война и если выйдешь на улицу, рискуешь быть схваченным. И денег нет на еду, потому что дома сидишь без работы..

Hi, Yuni. About CO2 - not a bad purchase! I'll probably buy one for myself too, because I have a CO2 sensor at home, but I don't have a purifier, I don't even know that they exist ) Besides you, by the way, many people are forced to sit locked up at home, including for several years. There is one country where there is a war and if you go outside, you risk being caught. And there is no money for food, because you sit at home without work.

I really liked both the music and the lyrics! Especially the punk rock, but not because of the cute pessimism, but because of the powerful energy.

Dear Pessimist, Optimist and Realist, all three of you are absolutely right!
But the fact that you are right does not matter at all. When you finally understand this most important truth, all three of you will become happy fatalists. As fatalists, you will be able to live peacefully and do your own thing for the rest of your days.

Dear Sasha! Thank you very much for such an insightful and touching comment. You know, I've been in the dark depths of despair myself and have experienced the true power of acceptance. A few years ago, I was overwhelmed by the knowledge of everything that could go wrong in the world... and then something strange happened. My emotions became numb. I stopped worrying about politics, ecology, global warming or any other problems. Not because I didn't care anymore, but simply because there was nothing more I could do. I realized that no matter how bad things got, I would still find ways to create art, write stories, code, or just hang out with friends on Discord. And that's when the real healing began. Suddenly, I understood that life wasn't about striving for perfection, it was about accepting what is and making the best out of it.

My thoughts went from 'if only' to 'what if' and eventually to 'oh well'. The transition was neither quick nor easy, but it was liberating. As for punk rock, I think you're one of the few or maybe even the first person who enjoys the old school punk from the 70-80s. To be honest, the first song reminded me more of Lemmy from Motörhead, pretty sure the AI had the chance to sample his voice among millions of other things, as it clearly reminds of his manner of singing but then again I have no idea how this technology really works, so it's just a wild guess...

And as a big fan of Albert Camus, I wonder what the Absurdist would say. After all, he believed that meaning can come from acting, doing something meaningful. And now here we are, creating art like crazy! In the end, it's not the reality around us that matters, but our perception of it. We can choose to see the world as hopeless and cruel, or we can see it as a canvas waiting to be painted upon. Camus said that one of the most fundamental questions, in the face of absurdity of life, is whether or not to commit suicide.

What he didn't mention is that there is also another question: "What am I going to do next?" And that is where hope lies. Hope is not about getting out of the dark, hope is about finding a way to live through it until naturally the light returns over time. Does this make me a happy fatalist, I wonder? Probably not, because I am not unfree - at any point in time, I still have Camus' three choices:
- Suicide (simply quitting the whole game altogether with a single swing of the kitchen knife),
- Revolt (against absurdity, by embracing all kinds of belief systems that "make sense", or more like, tell you what to do and what not to do), or
- Acceptance (of the absurdity of life, knowing that every choice you make is absurd, but still choosing them nonetheless).

But anyway, so much to think about... I think I may need to put this energy into another song, maybe see what Wolfy has to say on the topic.. XD Meanwhile, thank you again for always sharing your thoughts and for many enjoyable conversations!

Oh yes I like this song! Maybe the Matrix trilogy was telling the good end of human.🤪
God?
When you see a mohawk
That becomes a scorpion
When you break out into the biggest smile
When you realize it's a spine!!!

Brilliant image!
Brilliant mini-opera!

Well I can't say I enjoy this art because I can feel your sadness and worry from songs and image and it is genuine :(
On other hand first two songs are not only good in lyrics but also musically! And the fact that you managed to turn skull and spine into 3D video with todays limited tools is almost mirracle.

I really hope everything will work out eventually!!!!

I used to see you as just an artist, so more deep pieces are little surprizing, but not un welcome. As you say, there are good and bad things around us, and your works for me are on the good side of the world.
