I am struggling right now too, still having probs with the College of Nursing here and it's so worrying :( But like you whenever I paint or sketch it all goes away, if only for a little while! Sending you huge ((hugs)). <br /><br />I think anything in the arts that you are really into is calming, must be something to do with a part of the brain we use or the brainwaves or something. I remember a lovely man I used to work with. He had Autism and he was prone to get stuck on things, chairs, doors all sorts of things his whole body was constantly on high alert. Yet when he played piano you could see all the tremors and 'high anxiety' literally melt. The first time I witnessed this (I didn't even know he could play piano) he played "Danny Boy" and I welled up...it was so beautiful to see him so calm and relaxed. a very special moment and a very special young man.<br /><br />Have a better week sweetie<br /><br /><br />Ro xxxxRona Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941354380593615109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-29690325808796691712011-02-20T17:42:24.471-08:002011-02-20T17:42:24.471-08:00How strange because for the past few days I too ha...How strange because for the past few days I too have been in anxiety mode. I don't talk about it but I seem to become upset at anything and I can feel my chest and breathing start acting up when I get like this. I'm trying to calm myself down and bring my BP down before it's time to see the doctor. It's a beautiful sketch and I wish I had her figure too:))I hope the anxiety passes quickly Cathy and I do know what you mean when you say you pick up the brush or pencil and it helps. Have a great week.GlorV1https://www.blogger.com/profile/06789212398770555465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-91461225846381098762011-02-20T13:10:09.006-08:002011-02-20T13:10:09.006-08:00Ugh ...I know that anxiety!

Don't know why art helps but it does. When I am anxious I don't want to do anything, but if I sit down and force myself to do art it just seems to wash everything else out of my mind and I get lost in the art.Marlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995976784483093896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1224871085252881908.post-6705754848020718912011-02-20T05:09:52.775-08:002011-02-20T05:09:52.775-08:00I know it's the time of the year--I feel this ...I know it's the time of the year--I feel this same way--I'm seem to be anxious and fretful all the time--and I don't even know why.
