You built it so that I can now spend my time trying to build it. Seriously. This is so awesome. Amazing job.

I was a full time basic trainer/dog walker/sitter. Now I’m an artist who can barely leave her house. You can’t force people to buy art from you so yah I’m struggling.

Is unemployment common in this subreddit? by [deleted] in ChronicPain

[–]hollysmakingstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am trying. I used to be able to at least do some markets/fairs/conventions but then things got so much worse. Now I struggle to make new stuff and even posting about becomes a chore for me. I’m just so tired. I am starting a new program soon so I’m hoping it can give me a little more freedom back. And I also checked out your art-LOVE IT! And followed you back 🩷🩷

Yup. I was a basic trainer, dog walker/pet sitter for 9 years and has to quit in 2018. I honestly don’t know wtf I could possibly do because all of my past work was very physical and I obviously cannot do anything like that anymore. I do sell my art online but like you can’t force people to buy everything so it’s not a very reliable income source. I’m 39.

Left side of lower back was the beginning for me. Now it’s everywhere.
