Not sure what to do now by kino jaggernov

Brim has hit a critical point. The Zoloft isn't working any more and the therapy is hitting a point where there's been a major breakdown every day.
I've been trying to produce as much as I can but ... now I'm taking care of 4 cats, 1 dog and a spouse that I am constantly worried is going to start thinking.... very bad thoughts.

I'm going to TRY to stick to my initial plan of producing as much Pet Project as I can until the 11th... but this is just impossible to work with. For those of you who don't know what it's like to live with someone with real, clinical depression... I suggest you watch a few of Little Kuriboh's "We're Still Here" videos.

When you're not sure if ... someone you love might be hurting themselves if you're not watching them, and you're working from home... it's utterly impossible to work a regular schedule.

So... I'm just going to work as hard as I can, but I'm not going to let this period really reflect on what I'm capable of production wise. This is ... what I'm capable of producing if I work at comics part time... because I can't dedicate any more time to work than that. I'm responsible for so much. If I can get another page done despite all these troubles, well, that'll be a small miracle.

I'm just ... I'm lost as to what to do. Part of me thinks I might as well start work on commissions again. Part of me thinks I should stay the course just to see what I can really do working full time on comics. Part of me thinks I should just work on whatever I feel like until this blows over.
I'm at my wits end. Brim is unstable. Money is running out. I need to produce SOMETHING to support us since commissions aren't going to do it. I have no idea what to do. I'm being pulled in so many directions at once... and the worst part is that it's not because I'VE gotten sick or because I'VE been depressed or even that my back has gone out... it's because I've got to take care of so much, and I'm the only one who can do it. The only thing I can really do is just .... not sleep for a while.... work while Brim sleeps, when I'm sure that nothing bad can happen...

Any advice is appreciated. I just... I'm just going to keep moving forward, I just have no idea if anything is a good idea anymore.

    Damn...I had a loved one get close to this point and have to go to the hospital for a week. I wish I had more to offer than empathetic sympathy or platitudes. I wish you and your spouse the best.
