I'm a 23-year-old die-hard crafter. Knitting, sewing, general artistry, you name it, I do it. I've got a closet full of crafting supplies and three plastic bins full of my fabric stash. Most of the stuff in my house is either hand-made by me or bought at thrift stores and revamped into fabulousness.

Well, about a year ago, a set of fairly traumatic life events occured. To make a long story short, I've battled severe depression and anxiety for about a year. All of the things that used to bring pleasure to my life, including crafting, fell by the wayside as I got overwhelmed by my problems.

Recently, I've decided that I need to take my life back. Part of swimming back to the surface is getting re-involved in all of my hobbies, including art and craft.

So after a year (yes, a whole year) of not crafting, I'm trying to step back into it. But honestly, I feel completely overwhelmed. I haven't done any of this stuff for what seems like forever. It sounds weird, but I feel like I don't know what I'm doing anymore. I'm overwhelmed with questions about stupid things that I would have been able to do with ease a year ago (and those questions are probably going to make their way onto here eventually).

Has anyone else ever felt like this? How did you get back into the flow, so to speak?
