Hi I have been suffering with chronic depression and ocd for the past 6 years my condition has ment I can not work. I have a new mental health worker she has suggested I try painting to help with anxiety and panic attacks.
I can not go to art classes or groups because of my condition so I am trying to put together a basic set of materials. For water colour and acrylic. But finding it very expensive not being able to work has caused massive cash problems and as I will be 60 this year I need to get a move on. My medication means I have to do things slowly but I get there in the end
So if any one can help with any old eequipment or help in putting me on the right track by guiding me or teaching me by email that would be great
Thank you for reading this
