No stranger to that myself. It manifested one day by me getting in the car, starting the engine, and simply being unable to drive to work. I am glad the meds are helping you. I found they just put me in neutral, not enjoying or hating anything. The dreams are interesting though…..very weird and Technicolor.Thanks guys. I know it's a bit of an indulgence but I think it was needed.
If you're squeamish, look away now
I've had a rough time of it lately. After some very dark times my missus virtually frog-marched me to the doctors, who diagnosed me with serious depression and anxiety. They've put me on some medication which has pretty much changed my life, so I'm now grabbing every opportunity to "do what brings you joy"
Unfortunately a lot of people handle it similarly. My mother basically ignored it, never once asking me anything about the illness, the treatment, or how I was feeling at all.Modelling has been a bit of a lifesaver for me regarding similar issues so good on you and good on your missus for getting on top of it, my ex missus just told me to be a man and had no time for it.
That's sad to hear Mark. At times like that support is vital, and thankfully something I have plenty of, including a life long mate who's been through a very similar patch, so gives me some work here & there when I'm up to it.Modelling has been a bit of a lifesaver for me regarding similar issues so good on you and good on your missus for getting on top of it, my ex missus just told me to be a man and had no time for it.
I had a similar trigger point where I just couldn't bottle it up any more and it all hit me like a train.No stranger to that myself.

Once I "came out" I've found it much more common than I thought. Good to hear you are on the right track.My film broke many years ago. Took a while to bring the ends together but got (getting?) there.
Your space is evolving really nicely. I’ve got a very similar set up for my compressor and air line Andy, except my compressor is on the floor ninety degrees to the wall. They really don’t take up much space do they. Having the PRV mounted like that makes life very easy. I‘m sure you are already aware, but you can get airbrush stands that take the PRV as well, meaning you can store the brush alongside the air control.Thanks guys.
That's what I'm hoping for Jim. I'm used to spreading far & wide in the shed but I'll try to do it all within the booth from now on.
My compressor has made the journey from the shed. It looks in the way in this picture but the desk is so deep that I'm nowhere near it in reality. A hose runs from it to my regulator / water trap, mounted for easy adjustment.
Pipes & wires still need tidying but I'll get to that once everything is in place.

It's hard to make out in the previous shot but I have something like that. I think it's camouflaged by the spilled paint and I tend to bung the empty hose in one of the receptaclesI‘m sure you are already aware, but you can get airbrush stands that take the PRV as well, meaning you can store the brush alongside the air control.
Thanks Garry, now to put it to good use5 Star luxury right there Andy. That is very nice indeed.
I have that problem. If you do find a good ab holder let us knowMy cleaning pot would be ideal but it doesn't take trigger 'brushes very well.
