The main thing I took away from the session with Glyn Dillon was the hours of work he mentioned. Getting up at 9 and working until 3. It sounds so exhausting and daunting to think that that lies in my future. It's scary. It's hard. This kind of stress kinda makes me shut down.
Even when I KNOW I can do something, I put it off because of how much work it seems like. I've definitely been there at 4AM trying to finish something for a deadline, and functioned off little sleep in the past. I'm doing it now! When my depression flares up though, it is harder to function on 4 hours or less sleep. It's a very impractical life but if I love what I do, I should be able to do it, right?
I need to find better methods of coping with stress and find ways to make the work fun and not seem like work. Sometimes making lists and planning in my notebook and diary helps me, but sometimes I forget to look in the diary at notes I've made.
Ah stressstressstressstressstressstress, this is hard
