General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

So, Weird Story....

Hello! You may remember me from the post "Covid-19, Am I right?". Name's Husky Jasper Blue and I'm a 20 year old cartoonist that is having bad nausea from large quantities of anxiety I have been enduring as of the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.


So, just today I felt a mighty urge to bring a certain fluffy boy back into my life that I haven't drqwn in a while. He has been my imaginary friend since I was 4 and ended up becoming a sort of manifestation of my soul as I got older! Every time I drew him, I just felt oddly happy and optimistic, even in bad situations. This character has just been a huge part of my life and has helped me throuugh even the toughest times. So I drew him today and I felt a chunk of my nausea fade away for a bit.

I love that story...and I love the cartoon drawing! It made me smile. Thank you for sharing that. I'm sorry to hear that you are anxious nauseous. Ginger tea and mint gum are my two things for nausea.

You should do some funny or helpful captions on him related to the pandemic. Maybe it'll be a great way to release some anxiety.

Keep them coming! Thanks and you're very talented! Happy Friday!

Good to hear that you are getting your thoughts, feelings... into your art work. Great job!

Do your best to be mindful of what you're eating. Not too many salty things as you posted on your other post, but try to find fruits or vegetables to eat. Drink plain water. Diet has a lot to do with nausea.

Keep up the great work!

Wow, what a gift. Glad to see you are using art as a healing form. Whenever we paint or do any task that used the right creative sides of our brain, we are naturally getting out of the way of the logical mind. I think your spirit already knows this. Keep up the great work!! Maybe you can draw comics for a local newspaper and earn some money doing it?? Stay well.

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
