Thank you so much @Former-Member ...... and I am hearing you. It is as though Ihave three different employments going at the moment, with the coronavirus affecting each one too ..... but you are also correct that there are only two weeks until our uni break.
The nature of artwork is that it is therapeutic, so that is helping to sustain me, but I appreciate and am grateful for your care and concern. The forums have been a mainstay support for me across the last four years, while I tried to stand by my man ...... but now that man has turned toxic in his dealings with me, and as it turns out, has been behind the scenes for most of the time I thought I was supporting him. It's going to be a pretty big mess to clean up. The fact that D2 is caught in the middle of it all is horrendous, but that will be dealt with in the processes too.
As you know, it's hard to give out much when you have to keep everything stable under pressure ..... and I am really sad, but not suffering clinical depression ..... just really sad.
I love @Zoe7 , missing her, and sad that she is sad too ..... but that might be part of the reason she is taking a break. If you are feeling low it can be really hard to sit with others who are feeling low and unable to give much back, and everyone has their limits.
We will all get through this ..... going "quiet" is one of my self-care behaviours (something @Zoe7 has always been able to call me out on) ..... but I am guessing at the moment I am quiet-on-quiet ......
Hugs 💜🌷
