Sort of, yes, and Bobasaur, YES! I have chronic back pain along with some other minor health problems, luckily I can still work and manage my pain fairly well, but I did first get into Poser when I was having a lot of time off work. I've also suffered with PTSD and depression in the past, as a result of my abuse-filled childhood. Poser for me can be a way of expressing my feelings, and in doing so, lessen them. Catharsis. When I'm really pissed off about something, I like to render a bald model and then paint hair. Using the pen seems to help me calm down. My only regret about being on staff here at R'osity is having less time to just play and explore Poser than I used to. I was never that prolific, but I used to produce at least 2 finished pictures a month. Now I'm lucky to finish 2 a year! I do, however, have a hard drive half-full of unfinished, abandoned projects :-p You have no idea how many times my boss (or other annoying people) have been eaten by dragons, set on fire, stabbed by a big-boobed Vicky, peed on by the Poser 4 Dog, etc :o)
