Not great.

General
Bit of an update . . . things haven't improved on the writing front.
A few weeks ago I was told I needed to get all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed, and had to meet with the oral surgeon who would be doing this. Unfortunately, this hasn't eased my fears and the process will be happening on the 25th.
On top of this, my mother has decided to move in to the building my father and I live in, forcing me to help with the work in exchange for food. During this time I've had negative interactions with my mother, creating further emotional distress.
I'm not giving up writing, just being forced to pause almost everything. The stress is taking a deep toll, and at one point writing about 500 words for a story resulted in me falling asleep for multiple hours at around noon.
I have stuff in the works, but the mental gears are grinding and it doesn't sound pretty unfortunately.

That's a lot. Writing happens when it happens and when the brain can. All in good time. Find healthy mental space.

OP
Trying, but rather unfortunately, writing tended to help me relax till recently.
