Correct. You need a little expression in your life. I'm dealing with two toddlers so my creative side has fallen behind and it's definitely leading to depression (that and not taking long walks like I used to)
The thought that crossed my mind on this post was for people who might not be able to exercise a creative outlet at this point in their lives, perhaps because of various stressors in life - say, for instance, financial insecurity.
Then I went into the comments and read yours.
I'm very sorry that you're facing these challenges and I want you to know we're all rooting for you and hoping you can apply more expression in your life soon. And take longer walks. Sending happy thoughts and well-wishes your way.
Thanks. Last time this happened when I moved, I turned to digital work and creative writing, so maybe I need to go back to that. In any case, I mostly just wanted to warn others how easy it for creativity to fall when you're low on time and energy (and sleep)... typical caregiver problems.
Sing to your children!
Similar situation for me too. The walks make a huge difference! I hope you can get back to it soon.
Not sure if this is your speed, but poetry might be a good choice - you wouldn't be the first writer to produce short form poems because you don't necessarily have the time for longer compositions.
They don't need to be good - you can work on that part later, as you have time - they just need to exist.
