Oh, this post is worth far more than 57 cents!
I've been struggling too for years, in maybe different ways but with the same overwhelm and depression. And I've cut myself off too. There's so much chaos out there and I think these times hit creative souls hard. It's easy to give into despair.
It was so heartening reading of the response of people on your mailing list to your email, and brave of you to send it!
Thank you for the love. Yeah, no worries. I'm not on Steemit to make money. If something nice happens and I do, it's just a bonus. But lots of good responses and kind comments here, that's plenty reward for me. But now you also see why I'm usually broke. lol Anyway, I appreciate you and thank you for opening up as well. Much love!
