What do we say to the god of death?

Journal Entry: Fri Feb 8, 2013, 2:10 PM


Yes, well.

After 9 months of extremely stressful work, I lost my managerial retail job due to profits not being high enough.

Which is not surprising; considering I'm a bloody illustrator.

I've thought about having a super duper nervous breakdown, but instead, I've decided to have a teeny weeny small one. So, I'm going to curl up into a ball for my last week of work and hopefully emerge from my unemployed cocoon like a beautiful artistic butterfly.

There, that sounds good.






Hurrah!

Aw, bb. Time for a serious re-think of your options, yeah? If you can afford it, take some mental health time. On the up-side, retail jobs are pretty easy to get. They're always floating around. It's reeeeeally hard to support yourself on a freelance illustrator's pay, so I'm not sure I'd recommend that as your main income but I'm sure you already know that. Lick your wounds and get back in a different saddle! Happens to all of us. I KNOW.

Serious re-think for sure!! I'll try to take some mental health time... lets see how far my savings stretch!!

Thanks for the pep talk hun. You're right, it happens to many and trying to make ends meet and be an artist ain't easy!! I'm feeling a bit better about it now, after next week I'll take my mental health time and then get back to it! :) :hug:

Stress will literally cause your body to age faster and can eventually even kill you if you subject yourself to it enough. Maybe you have lost a job, but it might also be possible to say you've gained some lifetime.
