It’s very colourful, that’s for sure.

Just read your blog post and a lot of that circumstance reminds me of the time my nan broke her hip a few years ago. To this day, I still feel guilty that I could’ve done something to prevent it. I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. If this hadn’t happened to nan, the heart issues that were found while treating the hip wouldn’t have been treated at the same time.

I’m glad your mum hasn’t made any pre-existing conditions any worse and she can be adequately treated by the professionals. I really do hope she gets better soon. On the emergency pendant thing, my nan also uses one of those but it is only restricted to anything that happens in the house. We’re currently looking at other options that will support her outside of the house.

Looks like my Neon Buddha painting will arrive here tomorrow. Nice start to the week. I’ll have to do some organising so I can have more than a single project going at the same time. So many I want to start though, it’s hard to choose. Here’s a photo:

Oh goodness! I hope she feels better soon.

No need to apologise! I’m actually glad you asked the question, cause I’d thought about many different options, like seeking help from psychologists/therapists online or local anxiety support groups and that sort of thing. But then I thought of things that help me to keep busy in one sense, like study and to help me relax, like meditating or diamond painting. I find that if I’m alone in my thoughts too much, that’s when it all starts to go downhill.

or Donkey Kong Country ? I bought the newest game in the series last week but haven’t played it yet. I’m flagging that for the weekend.

There was a time back in 2013 where I was seeking professional help, but I wasn’t diagnosed as having anxiety or clinical depression back then. I haven’t had many anxiety attacks since then but I think right now it’s because of my current situation that it’s making me spiral out of control. If I could afford to seek professional help, I would definitely go down that road again.

Thanks Joe. Still working on my Zelda 5 panel at the moment but I have a nice setup now where I can do more than one project at a time. Thinking of starting a custom painting I got as a present for my mum. I’ve got until the beginning of December to do it.

Thanks mate, getting there slowly but surely. I have my study, diamond painting, job searching and to a lesser extent my gaming to keep me going.

Slowly but surely. It’s designed to relieve stress and anxiety, which is what I like about it. I could lose myself for hours doing it and that’s the best part. I feel like it will be a good mechanism to snap me out of it at those times where things get me down. It’s those times where I can’t snap myself out of it where it takes a while for me to recover.
