Housework has the word 'work' in it for a reason 😉 Considering you get paid through Substack, writing counts as work too! And I for one would love to buy your artwork as physical or digital products. But I totally understand it isn't as easy as just starting a business.

As someone who is also auDHD and recovering from burnout, I'm right alongside you. I seem to be a perpetual student on government assistance whilst my husband works full-time. (I also do most of the housework btw!)

Thank you so much for sharing this essay. It’s been very interesting and helpful for me and really got me thinking how I define ‘work’. I loved the trust and confidence part. Also, your writing kind of soothed me 😄☺️ I don’t know exactly why.. but I was a bit anxious and annoyed, but while reading your writing, that emotion passed and instead I felt more relaxed, like nothing seemed very urgent anymore. Thanks for that 🩵
