What keeps you fighting?

I love @Misfit61 (link didn't work again and I waited ages) 3 good things idea and it was so good to read all of this today.  I think I woke up with a hurricane of internalised rage this morning and I just didn't get up until 11am, nothing good will come of that. I haven't even been able to paint lately but maybe all your positive thoughts will give me a kick up the backside to go and pick up a paintbrush and a pen.  I'm so grateful that you are all here even though my capacity to join in appears to be somewhat limited.  Thank you all.

Thank you so much. Just been telling myself off for rabbiting and getting too intense again. You are joining in just by reading and I like hearing what you have to say as well That's another thing we do ..beat ourselves up. So what if you stayed in bed till 11? You must have needed to. I hope you do start your creativity again soon but again it's ok if you don't. Maybe you could inspire yourself by trying something different but still uses your skills photography or printing or felting ... or something completely different that will give you a boost.. just an idea. 

Thank you for your thoughts Misfit, I am making an effort not to beat myself up so much , but old habits die hard.  Painting and drawing are my only real means of expressing myself, possibly writing too, and I've avoided doing it for most of twenty years, I've made reasonable progress in the last eighteen months (making not selling) so I need to fight to keep going or I'll feel like I have nothing again.

Being here definitely helps, though I feel a little like I've wasted half a day trying to get a photo off my phone and onto here)))  You definitely are not rabbiting or being too intense either, please keep writing whatever you like, it's well worth reading.
