I realized that I don't have any stress outlets anymore. It used to be my art, but now that it's my only way to make money, it's become a point of stress. I'm trying to get ahold of enough money to get an instrument, but I just don't make enough right now. Nor can I find a fourth job. I take care of my mother, I drive everyone around, and I do art and it still isn't enough to even pay all my bills.
So that this is my constant reality, that's where the stress is coming from. If I can find a few more Patrons or start selling more things from my online store, it'll help. Until then, I'm stuck. I suck at social media but I do have a small following(824 followers) on Tweeter and about 200 on BlueSky. I'm working too hard for too little in return. Sorry for the rant. Just getting it out of my head since these thoughts are still lingering.

The knee jerk reaction is to say I'm fine. But the honest truth is I'm unwell. Slowly teetering toward a mental meltdown and only keeping it together because if I don't, everyone else loses their jobs and won't be able to function without me. So, like most people, I think. How about you? Hopefully you're doing better than me?

Ghost @kuharido I been okay, just trucking along. Do you have any healthy outlets for your mental health?
yuuzora @yuuzora Hm... that's the problem. I usually have my art, but since it's my only job right now, it's sort of become a source of stress. So I'm desperately trying to find something else. I just don't have the resources for another instrument, otherwise that would definitely work. I can't play my erhu anymore due to my shoulders being completely fucked. So yeah... how about you? How have you been managing your stress lately?
Ghost @kuharido My tai chi and yoga. I do standing meditation also.
yuuzora @yuuzora Nice. That sounds good. Maybe I should try taking up yoga again? I just have such pain in my joints and muscles I don't know how to do what doesn't hurt anymore. Though I still maintain flexibility, that's about it lately. Do you have any teachers or YT videos that have helped you?
Ghost @kuharido It's a good thing to do. Tai chi is good also. I'll recommend someone in DM.

A rather important update about my personal and professional life:
If you become a Patron you get free personalized art, stickers, and sneak peeks at all my work. Becoming a Patron also means you're helping me to defeat the demons that are currently weighing me down. You can join for as little as $3 a month.
