@A myHIVteam Member. Very impressive! My sister sent me some adult coloring books back when I was stressed. It seemed intimidating at the time, but maybe it's time to revisit. Keep at it! There are some great documentaries on famous painters. Most were consumed by their need to paint. You might be ready for some college level painting classes(?). Enjoy! ❤️🤠👍

Take care of things that you can control, leave that rest to the doctors.

What I do is mostly a self defense mechanism that put all feelings and emotions aside and focus on attacking the illness. During the process I think of it as a problem I need to get out of my way.
