I'm a Spoonie going through a break up, and all the stress and anxiety about it is making my health conditions flare up. My ex-partner wants to not talk and have space, whereas I want close and to end things on a nice note. Wanting the opposite things makes it so hard and he has always only done things his way! Do you have any tips for managing health problems during stress, or for dealing with a breakup? Sorry for the long post, and thank you for your blog 💛

I’ve never had a breakup before, can anyone help our friend out?

@chronicyellow replied to your post: As long as you're alive your dreams never have to die! You should listen to yourself over anybody else - so what if you draw a little slower for example, or it takes you longer to create work you're proud of. Art means different things to different people, and you'll feel even prouder and never take your art for granted ♥♥ please don't ever give up on your dreams. I fell in love with your doodles upon first glance xoxo

Aw hey thank you so much. I’m glad you enjoyed them. Tbh that post is from a few years back. I’ve come around to being nicer to myself since then (well I’m still trying to get the hang of that actually) and letting myself draw and enjoy drawing slowly. The clients and work I’ve been able to take on since then haven’t been a lot but they’ve always been incredibly patient with me and my illnesses. Kind words from them and others (and now you!) really make a big difference. It means a special lot coming from a fellow spoonie too. I feel like I can really take it to heart. Thanks for taking the time to leave such sweet words, friend! I hope you know that you are lovely and that it means a lot.
