dear lungs, please stop wrecking my life

I used to be a painter working exclusively in oil. 15+ years of learning and perfecting my work. Over the last year the paint has become a severe trigger. I've tried wearing a mask but the solvents and the smell from the paint drying makes it so I can't even go in my studio. RA already took away my other craft hobbies like embroidery and sculpting. This week I finally broke down and admitted to myself that I can't paint with oils anymore. Today I sold off the last of my paints and unused canvases. I am now officially a "former artist". Trying not to be bitter about it.
