hmm well i will say in my case i was not exactly responsible or proactive in my time out of work, so there's that. but, just me, i personally wouldn't do it again w/o mad security. the stress alone immobilized me.
but yeah trying to work with an already draining work life does suck.
good luck tho

i wouldn't quit unless you have some savings to keep you afloat for a while. toootally not saying this as someone who's quit (for something of a different reason) and fell well below financial stability only to go right back to work haha. as much as it sucks to say "make it work" with your art sched

yoo congrats!!
