I think reading blogs today is the wrong thing for me to do. I seem to break easily in the last few days and each word I read I crumble a little more. So I need to take a little break, do some artwork, some housework and things along that line. I feel raw right now, I’m not so much over that one tiny session I had where we went over one single solitary memory. That was an ugly session.
There’s new artwork on the art blog but other than that I really don’t have much to say. I don’t know if I’ll have much to say so I must just do more artwork. I’m wobbling back and forth between tearful and enraged. I need to get a handle and I can’t do that unless I sit back and try and catch my breath.

take some time for yourself, “raw” describes it well, that need to regather and refocus and get over or deal with whatever made you raw.
we understand.

hello.
Reading blogs may feel like the wrong thing to do for one reason or another, but I wanted to say that I really appreciate that you took the time to read and comment on mine. You lifted my spirits with your comments and I hope (to a small degree, at least) that raises yours.
Concerning your desire to create art - I highly recommend you do so. I find therapeutic value in the creation of art, and I think you can/do/will too.
And on the subject of mental health, I too struggle myself; you’re not alone.
You said you needed to catch your breath. Try breathing through art.
I hope you feel better. Sometimes when the memories come to the surface it sucks a hell of a lot.
Raw is a word I’ve been using a lot to describe myself lately.
I want to commend you for taking the time to take care of yourself. I know it’s essential, but it’s one thing I have a hard time doing for myself.
I enjoyed the art work that you posted. I have some pastels hanging around here…. I used to enjoy doing that a lot (even if everything never turned out the way I envisioned it). Perhaps it’s time to break them out again and try to express myself that way.
