A concept I've been thinking about for a while as a result of my multiple intestinal diseases I get every now and then.
Pretty much this is how I feel whenever I get stomach ache, which shouldn't be a big issue, but in my case I get frustrated when I get stomach aches constantly, at least 8 times a year, each of that time I need weekly medication, though the process of recovery feels way slower, it got to a point I have an arsenal of medicine just for that, because sooner or later, I'm sick again, no matter how much I take care of my diet, how much water I drink, how much I work out or the fact that I don't do drugs, alcohol or smoke cigarettes, my health is not exactly the best.
Watercolors are usually my favorite tool to express that.
This really illustrates your description exactly and her face just has the "give up" and exhausted expression so well. I can't even imagine how exhausting that must be. I agree, upsetting even when you don't consume alcohol or tobacco products like you said.
Well, I wish you the best in your future.
