Re: Day 10 and counting......
That's a blessing Benzinha that you are moving again. I am moving again too. We talked things through and determined I did
not need counseling, did not need medication. In a way the visit to the doctor was a treatment in itself.
Sometimes we just have to stop pretending that we must appear geniuses all the time. Acknowledge where we are.
And sometimes we need a little help to do that be it something to take, or some good non-judgmental ears.
Your friendship is a gift, even to someone so far.

Day 10 and counting......
And the Prednisone has me breathing again like humans normally do, a true joy. I can move and move and move.

I love to cut and paste and then quilt collage things. But, often I import
huge chunks like you said and carve them into something, taking away what should not be there, rephrasing what can be better said...
Maybe starting on the doctor's medication, this might just open up and flow for you.
I am not doing HUGE things, which I must do, have a deadline for, things my life depends upon, but I have begun doing little things in the right direction, more each day that the medication resorts my brain, emotions, priorities.
Might happen for you.

I think if it doesn't feel good at all, it probably should be abandon! Why risk getting in a funk that is not necessary! sam

Your comment about cylinders and fitting them into round holes conjured up a memory of the vacuum tube system of dealing with cash that we used to use in the old department stores.
Now we use debit or credit cards.
Stuff the resume idea into a container and up a vacuum tube. You can either flush it or leave it in the vacuum for when you have time for puzzles.

I am sorry you are having trouble... sometimes its not easy to do monotonous, mechanical things. I don't know exactly what it is you are trying to do... I figured you are making resumes for people? and that you have to fit the pieces of their life into somekind of a form template... Well... the thing is not to get overwhelmed... so one step at a time, don't think of how much you have to do or how much you have done... just do whatever it is and before you know it'll be finished A large painting starts with a few brush strokes... a book with a few words... Everything large has a small beginning :-) Good luck xoxoxo

Sometimes it's impossible to lower your production to
mere mechanics when you're used to making art. This is simply the proof of the pudding, you're not cut out for bureaucratic boilerplate. It's a good thing!

Completing work assignment and meeting deadlines can be so stressful Azur. Sometimes the computer just plays up when you least expect it to.

Sorry that you're having trouble with this. One problem
I could see with that kind of work is the difficulty in somehow 'constructing' somebody's life without
really knowing it...On the other hand, I would suspect it get easier as you go along...
