It's so hard to be creative when stressed, and your level of stress I can't even imagine. Have you tried just scribbling nonsensically without any form or function or expectations other than to scribble? Sometimes I do that with art or with writing to get the flow going a little. Sometimes it helps. Sometimes it doesn't. And sometimes it's cathartic.
Your dog is sooooooo cute.
