CreativeTherapy – Catalyst 25

Catalyst 25 - Something I fear

Catalyst 25 - Something I fear

CreativeThreapy’s 25th Catalyst was published yesterday. It’s “What is something you fear?”

This one was fairly easy for me. It’s something I live with regularly. One of my greatest fears is that there will be a time when I don’t bounce back from an exacerbation of my chronic illness.

There was a time quite a few years ago when I was not able to really do much of anything due to my illness. Now, however, I have learned to live within my energy levels. I am able to better predict and adapt to the ebbs and flows with my disease. This helps me to feel more at ease with it, but the fear that it will incapacitate me again is always there.

Technique: Pen and ink drawing with watercolor.

    It’s a valid fear and that makes it all the more scary. You have the inner strength to deal with what life hands you and your friends are here to support (and fetch and carry when needed – or to tell Dave to fetch and carry).
