Art as therapy?

Hope you're doing well now and off the roller coaster..

I understand your need for change. I admire your determination to do something you love. I also love art and regret not doing a fine arts degree or some art course when I graduated from high school. What I am thinking of doing though is signing up for a short counselling course. I hope it will give me the skills and understanding to work with sick kids as I plan to do in the future. As scary as it can be doing something new.

I'm a primary school teacher who has been away from work since I was diagnosed around the beginning of the year. I feel that life has changed so much after my ordeal. I'm not looking forward to going back to work (the rat race) even though it's part time. Sometimes it feels as though people don't really understand what you're going through and this makes you feel like you don't belong there anymore.

I hope that you're able to get back to doing what you love soon, just as I hope to get back my passion and inspiration again too.

All the best with it. :)
