You’re getting there kiddo. There is so much I need to do, just to clear my head and guilt. Why is it so hard? Because we don’t want to do it! (I don’t.) It’s hard, and boring……really boring.

Try not to think to much about the things you can’t go back and undo; it’s a waste. It’s a lot of anxiety, (sometimes exacerbated by lack of enough sleep, esp in my case!) and it’s not worth the energy. I am on a small dose of anxiety meds and it helped me. I am able to get a full nights sleep, and not worry to much about the pointless stuff.

Good luck. We’re pulling for you!

Hey,

You have some excellent ideas,….I love the idea of the disposable paper. I may have mentioned this before, but I realized a long time ago that I tend to doodle a lot on whatever is handy while talking on the phone, and I would realize afterwards I liked a lot of what was there afterwards. I think that is along the line of ‘disposable’ paper idea. While watching (commercial free) on TV, I sometimes place a sketchpad on my lap and let my hand go where ever, usually a decent pen on bristol. I have gotten some pretty cool stuff while doing that. I also try to now force myself on not giving up on a ‘piece’. Giving up is too easy and it means I am letting low self-esteem kick in.

I focused mainly on pen & ink in the end. I discovered some pens I enjoyed working with, and bought a few decent pads of bristol like paper. I did some painting, and I need to work on that, as my insecurities get the better of me, and I need to over come that. I’ve been struggling with just trying to organize the space I set aside for working. Organization has never been a strong point with me. I never know where to begin!
