I feel for you, on your last post saying you can't even draw anymore. I play guitar and have been dealing with really bad arm pain such that I can barely play anymore and it. Hurts not being able to do my art like I used to, like I want to, and it's disorienting after having a lot of identity placed in what you can do and then having it taken away from you. It's really really shitty and I'm sorry you're going through it. I wish I had advice, or words of encouragement beyond just that you aren't alone, what little comfort that is.
Please don't feel any pressure to respond, I'm sure you get tons of messages like this and it's taxing to answer everything. Just wanted to reach out. Thanks for Being even when it's hard. Take it easy, friend.
