Thank you, this was such an uplifting read! And major congrats on landing a new job! I am currently unemployed too and have been for quite some time, but I have very good benefits so I'm not struggling financially, thank goodness. But I totally get what you mean by the need to feel recognised and valued. I have really struggled with feelings of insecurity and worthlessness lately (on top of that, I feel like I don't really deserve the money I get because there aren't many jobs I can apply to but weeeeelllll). Today I'm in a much better headspace, thankfully. We can do this!
Thankyou so much for sharing your personal story. It's really given me some hope I'm an artist too, I paint nearly every day but have never sold anything. I need to encourage myself to branch out and sell more stuff with my artwork printed on (example, like face masks you see on Etsy.) For many years I've struggled with my PTSD effecting everything I do. But I know I'm headed towards the right track now I feel much happier day to day which is an achievement! I think we should all set ourselves a goal to be happy, that's the most important thing
