Life is good and does get better, even on my off days,even when I experience anxiety or depressive symptoms, rather than the other way around. I believe in practicing good mental health, even when I make mistakes doing it. I’ve experienced some very good days and seasons, since my diagnosis, so the off days so overwhelming anymore. May my words encourage you to move from empty to full as you face your own life-changing issues. Remember, life is good and it’s full of hope. Never give up!

I’m walking through a time of low productivity. I’m resisting doing some writing work that I need to finish. So, I’ve been looking at my feelings around this issue. Looking at my powerlessness and asking for help from the Lord to write. I finished two pieces of work today, which was progress. I’m realizing that sometimes even when I’m on an off day, like today, that I can’t force the creative process. Sometimes I just need to give myself the extra time to percolate. I’m also learning that I don’t know everything that there is to know, about why I have an off day or an on day. I know quite a bit about my process, but not everything. It’s a good place to be. I don’t want play god with myself or anyone else. It’s important to keep learning to wait, watch and work. But I will admit that I don’t find it an easy process, not by a long shot. So, that’s my comment for today. There will be more later I’m sure.
