Funny thing, I was just talking with Lyraina, and she also forces herself to get outside now and then to help herself de-stress. Having allies are important, Steph, so find strength in them. I swear I know what you mean about the huge load of doubt and feeling directionless. I was like that for 6 years, and during what was supposedly the prime years of a human's life - my twenties. It's true that one needs to just pick a direction and paddle like hell, but it's also true that it's Hell of a lot easier to _not_ give up paddling after more bouts of doubt when you have dedicated art friend and partner to be near you and help you. That also needs building, so just chip in when-ever, and how-ever much you can. Distantly and silently, we're all in this together, and sometimes that doesn't help much when you need immediate pick-up by the elbow or brushing of dirt off your shoulder. So if you want, feel free to add me on Skype if you use it. My account is in my profile.
