Me sliding into your DMs

I have been making a ton of art except it’s mostly been vent art which I don’t really feel comfortable posting. Not just because it’s kinda violent but it’s also really personal to me. But dang I’m really good at drawing and it makes me sad I can’t show off how good I am at drawing depressed people.

Speaaaaking of which: I’m now medicated for ✨anxiety/depression✨

So yeah there’s that.

I’ve been feeling this way for a while but I guess it’s just gotten to that point where it’s messing with my functionality.
Feels weird to actually admit that “yeah it is that bad” instead of pretending to be acceptable.
I had been doing counseling through my college for a bit but it never really seemed to help. I kept going with the hope that maybe I’d get better but I only started to dread going because I started to hate talking about myself. I never felt like I could really communicate what I was feeling.

I’m just glad I don’t wanna die. I feel like I have a really good future ahead of me even through what I’m going through now feels like heck.

I do hope the medication helps. Supposed to take a bit to actually be effective.


I think it’s good to share about stuff like this. I think it’s pretty common but not a lot of people talk about it which I think makes people like me more hesitant to seek help or admit where they’re at

Yay, I really hope it helps you feel better! 👏 Major kudos to you for taking that step, I know firsthand how hard it is to take that kind of leap.

Also, glad to hear you’ve been making lots of art that you like, even if you’re not comfortable sharing the work it still matters that you’re making things. (I do understand what you mean about wanting to share it in a way, but the outlet of creativity is maybe more valuable in itself)
It's good that you feel comfortable sharing! Anxiety and depression is a tough combo - I struggle with it myself so I totally feel you ; w ; glad you are taking steps towards helping yourself <3
