Am Not Coping

@Faith-and-Hopeand @Zoe7 (and anyone else "arty" )

Hello you two. I am just wondering if either of you could create a thread dedicated to your art and post updates so we can all see your incredible talents developing your ideas?

If you don't want to, that's fine but I just think it would be wonderful to have it there for all to see because it really is beautiful to watch the creative process. Especially to people like myself who wish they had such talent bad sadly lack the ability to express it.

But as I said, if you don't feel comfortable doing so, that's fine of course.

Tooky.

@utopia So pleased you have some money in your account. I only put a few dollars in as well as I am still not sure when the insurance will come through - I did get payed from the department yesterday (had to use some of my remaining long service leave which I really didn't want to do).

I started a new thread What Lies Within... and basically put most of it together on there. That's what I was doing last night when I said I was writing on another thread! - in the middle of the night, not many people around therefore wouldn't be obvious to many that it was there. It wasn't really about anyone seeing it - it was more for me to be able to write it!!!!

My GP knows most of it - but not all - few details just overall facts ... same with my psychologist.

I can't wait to start painting also.

@Faith-and-Hope fell asleep last night so what else was I supposed to do in the early hours of the morning but clean lol... think the adrenalin of posting worked in my favour

I had been toying with the idea .... but there are arty people all over the Carers forum as well .... might be worth starting one on each forum ..... and us "go-betweens" posting on both ...

One possible issue is that we need to maintain anonymity, and can be identified by our work amongst those who know us .... so there are some pieces I won't post as they are in a wider public access domain ....

In terms of the artwork I have posted, I figure anyone who knew us irl who got to know me here through what I have written alone, would work out who I am ... with or without the artwork, but our problem is hidden from view irl, and I am trading on that to maintain anonymity on the forums, Nobody we know would expect to find me here. It's only my inner circle of family and friends who will see these particular pieces, and they are all in the know about our situation.

I am guessing that goes for most of us, and for others it really doesn't matter .... their situation is open to those around them, and their circles would be pleased about the level of support they are receiving here.

What say you @Zoe7 ?

@Faith-and-Hope I just started that thread before I read your post - I only tagged you and @Former-Member in for now because I figured we'd add in as we go along...

@Faith-and-Hope maybe you can start the thread on the 'far side'and I'll stick to this side for now... wadda ya rekon?

Just came to it @Zoe7 .... yep ....right with you .... ❣

@Faith-and-Hope Co-Curators... lol

@utopia ............. you are flying all over the place today - you must have gotten over your fear of heights ... and learnt to speed read ... WOW .... reminds me of Hurricane Tawney on New Year's Eve.........
