I'm going through some stressful transitions in life right now. Like so many families in my area the landlord has decided to sell and I am faced with trying to find affordable housing in my current town or relocate. I just got back from checking out the school in another town, and I was very disheartened because I felt like it wouldn't be a good fit for my middle child, who needs a particular learning environment to be successful. Simply put there are a lot of factors and many pros and cons to every option, and I am supremely stressed.
My mind tends to go to a dark place when I am stressed, and I can easy get overwhelmed with either depression or the need to escape mentally, this ends up coming out creatively. I expect my work to take on darker themes and moods until I get through this patch. I also expect it to be highly productive because I need to create to deal with everything emotionally. It is probably pretty typical for the artist type personality. I know there is a definite love/ hate aspect to how I function and feel about this creative dynamic.
