I too can tell you that I feel that way at times. I have a neurological condition as well (epilepsy) which of course is way more common, striking about 1% of people across the world. I was not treatable with medications becoming "intractable" and taking over 5 meds a day at maximum dosage which eventually led me to having two brain surgeries. Crafting is what kept me happy. My life before was engineering. I have had an amazing recovery now since the brain surgeries. I put my story on my blog as an outreach to others who have epilepsy and other neurological conditions.... http://www.holleybarnhartsblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/holleys-story.htmlHolley (Tondre) Barnharthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618391206938928981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5335618363680463874.post-235740194769064782014-06-18T16:34:47.291+01:002014-06-18T16:34:47.291+01:00The internet can be a great resource to crafter...The internet can be a great resource to crafter's of all abilities. I am a member of several groups and some days its all that keeps me going. It has also helped me to find information about my own illness i have fibromyalgia, carpel tunnel and chronic migraines.

It is strange to think how it would be for me too without the internet, it would in no way be possible to meet and socialise with other crafters, for example. It's nice to here that there are even more positive good things in that you are able to not feel isolated. I suffer with drepression so can relate only a little. I like all the crafty bits you've been doing, you are soo talented and creative!<br />Peace, Maxine xxMaxine Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17226381902055878525noreply@blogger.com
