I'm wondering -- and this may be way off base -- about the painting.

Oh sweetie...

I'm so sorry for the way you've been feeling blah. I had no idea. I know I've been pretty consumed in all of my "erinisms" to even worry about you. I'm so sorry! I only can hope that things are going to start looking up for you, and if you need me, you know how to find me. I'm always there for you!

Love you lots!

first of all, about the painting... i don't know if you know that i paint too- but i have had similar paint block issues. except for the mess, i never cared about that :) but i use acrylics, so there isn't really much of a problem because it cleans up easily. throw an old table cloth or some news paper down on the floor and don't worry about it. i would say if you are renting you should worry even less- what's the worst that could happen, they take money out of your damage deposit? i always find paint spots here and there and i love it- it shows character and creativity and reminds me that i was painting! my mom is an artist, and at times she has said all kinds of things that make me not want to paint, including making me feel like my art isn't good. it was weird, she said something recently about me never painting anything for her and i thought how strange it was that she would want something when i feel like she doesn't think my stuff is any good. it's funny about people accepting our work and displaying it. i think some people put things up by color or genre, not importance. so your brother may feel like there is no where that your piece "matches" or maybe he feels like it is special and doesn't want it to get ruined, or maybe he has been waiting to find a perfect frame or paint the wall to make it more special to hang. you never know. my dad's study is a place where no one sees, but if he puts something there, it is something that means something to him and he wants to see. there are little things around where he sits that are really importnat to him, so i bet that is what is up with your dad.

that's funny about your therapist asking you those leading questions. i have been really skinny my whole life (some of it i'm sure comes from my stomach problems that they can never really find a solution for) but my mom has the same body- anyways, my point is that they always ask me leading questions about eating disorders. now i just get annoyed and after a few questions say "i'm not anorexic!" it always makes me feel like they aren't paying attention enough because it is so obvious if they did that i don't have an eating disorder- i am too addicted to chocolate! but it is nice that she was covering all of the bases, and hopefully the change in meds will be good. i bet when the weather changes you will feel better too, this cold dreary stuff is not good for depression! have you ever gone to a tanning booth or used those lights? i go tanning once a week-ish and i feel like it is my rejuvanation- like i got some condensed time in the sun. (i know it's bad for my skin, but hey- i look pretty and it helps my depression) the lights don't have uv if that would make it better for you.

that is sweet about the guy in colorado. it is nice to have him showing such continued interest in you- everyone needs someone to remind them how special they are!

i hope that you are feeling better soon!

Trac,

I am going to do my best to give you a great reply, but dont know how well I will do with it but here goes nothing.

I posted a week ago about fear and how I have these great fears in my life for asically anything that means that I may need to take a chance or a risk, I wont even go up to a guy I think is attractive for fear I will be rejected.

So anyways, point being is this you love to paint do it forget what your parents say or do it doesnt matter do it for yourself, it makes you happy and I am sure they are all beautiful and if caly and trixie want one go to it unleash everything inside of you and let it all come out onto the canvas you never know what may appear before your eyes all of those emotions feeings anxieties all of it will appear onto the canvas and you never know you may impress yourself with how great it will look.

I know I am not making that much sence but trust me paint I do artwork with stencils I love it and am actually atarting something next weekend involving my dressor and mirror they are so blah, I did my slidding glass door in my room with vines all around it then roses going up the window and I frosted the window so no one can look in and that makes me feel good do what makes you feel good.

thinking of you.
