I've been where you are. As I think you know me fairly well by now, you should realize this is not idle commiseration.
I personally got some very bad news this morning. Personal, health-wise. It is not something you want to hear out of the blue at my age. *thinks quietly.* And tonight I'm sitting here, kind of numb... but prepared to drive on, because I need to. To, say, get the entire project up and running by myself: to pick up the slack for those of us whom I love who are having difficult times in their lives right now... because I can. Because I choose to. Some things simply cannot wait.
You also know me well enough to know I do everything for a reason: and posting this to you was zero to do with self-pity or ego or what-the-unholy-fuck-ever. I post this to tell you I've been where you are, and I believe in you. Not just your artwork and ability to scrap things out when the chips are down. In YOU. To be strong. Not to 'suck it up and get over it'. Not to 'keep a positive attitude'. But to go on, and to even then, continue to shine like a beacon.
You'll make it. No matter what, if my words are worth anything, take it for what you will.
((hugs)) I've had a few days like that. Think of it this way...you ARE being productive as you're getting much needed rest, and if you didn't sleep, you wouldn't be able to work well anyhow.
