Re: rough time
My mother is rather difficult @Former-Member and the day dragged on agin but at least its almost over now.
Unfortunately with sleep ive tried alot including medications and hasnt helped. Drs dont know next step yet but im use to it so as long as i get at least a fee hrs here and there i manage
Along with caring i have 2 other part time jobs-just here nd there sorts of things. Helps to pay the bills abit. One involves working with alot of kids which was one today.

Re: rough time
Sorry you have had a rough day @outlander . Have you worked out a self-care activity to help take the edge off it ? Believe it or not, after struggling with it last year and earlier this year, Photoshop has become a bit of a soothing activity for me. Have started to feel I can drive this thing.
I hope there is something distracting you can find to do for a little while to take you mind off the toothache as well. How is the blanket coming along ? Have you finished undoing it, and started again ?
Hi @Former-Member 👋💕

Re: rough time
Thanks @Faith-and-Hope rough to say the least is a good description. I forget sometimes how quickly i can go from 0 to 100 and with challanges being thrown in different directions it made it harder. Quite dissapointed in myself.
I havent really felt like doing any self care but i guess tv some phone games and an early bed can count as that. Cant really get my mind to shut down yet though.
Ive undone it all so far. There were 22 rows which took me over a month to get done so not feeling that great about that either but hopefully with a quicker pattern progress will show faster. I havent started it again yet though i think its best to start it in a new day.
The pain killers are working abit thankfully so makes things abit better.
Ive followed along with your photoshop journey and watched you progress and learn. Its been really good to see you stick at it and succeed despite it being tricky. Do you Stil do your art journal too?

Re: rough time
@outlander , Hope things at peace between you and your mum vefore going to bed. I had a difficult mum too and know its not always possible.
With sleep, some say 20min deep meditation can be equal to 8hrs sleep so maybe that could help you through the day. I gotta do it too to try bring this BP under control. Less screen time would help too. Good Night 😴

Re: rough time
We have started into mixed media in our drawing classes @outlander, so I am using the art journal methods, just on uni work for now. I might do some small art-journal pieces and put them into my visual diary, now that you have helped me think of it .... thank you ❣️
Yeah, it might be good to start the blanket again in a new day. I know that feeling of pulling a few hours of work undone. It sucks in the moment, but I hope whatever you make instead brings you a lot of joy, in the making, and seeing it used afterwards.

Re: rough time
The new pattern works up alot faster and doesnt take much thinking so i think itll be better to do rather than the other one. Ill make something smaller then a queen size blanket for the more challenging stitch for now.
Motivation is lacking abit so thats not to helpful atm. I miss doing my art too but havent felt up for it either. Hopefully the feels for that come back soon too. Might need to look for some drawing inspiration.
Are there many art journall methods? @Faith-and-Hope i remember you showing me one before but i cant think of what its called.

Re: rough time
Rather than trying to list them @outlander, there are a lot of how-to clips online that show you how to make art journal pages. Maybe go for a bit of a wander ? I think you will really enjoy watching them, and it might be the inspiration you need to get started again with your artwork, and a great distraction besides ......
I need to head to bed now too Hon. Starting to doze off at the table ..... so I will say goodnight.
Resting is like half-sleep, so rest of you can’t sleep. It’s your body’s recovery time, so it helps with physical ailments and emotional upsets ..... the art journal clips might help you relax enough to drift off.
Goidnight @outlander 💐💤
