Okay, Mr. Harvey!!!! Wow! Great chapter!!! And a huge virtual hug to get you through this moment of change. It's never easy to move on from something that you put so much of your heart and soul into, but it is healthy! A kind of freedom surfaces, when all that other stuff subsides. I hope you get to the freedom part soon, because I'm sure your wonderful ideas and writing will arise and amaze us all!

Hoooo this is so intense! I have been in stressful periods before and I know how much it can wear you down. I’m not an adult with responsibilities and a family, but I did have quite the trouble of my own. With chronic fatigue, autism, undiagnosed bipolar disorder and a change in school career in my last year of college, I really had a LOT of stress. You probably already know this, but what helps the most in this stress is, well a second opinion. Someone who can tell you which projects to pursue and which to drop, and can comfort you both on a mental level and with functional help. I had my partner and my mother helping me with this. In stressful times, one of the best things one could do is depend on others and confide in others.

I'm sorry you went through all of that! Especially at once. When it piles up, that's when it gets seriously tough.
