The depression sometimes blocks my creativity and I'll go months without making anything. But today I'm feeling pretty good and I've decided to work on a painting. It's so nice to feel the creativity flow again.
Ginkofishin, I've been battling severe depression and anxiety for 17 years. So, trust me, I know how aggravating it can be when you're an artist. When I don't do anything artistic for so long, I feel like I'm not myself. Just give it time. Do what you need to do for yourself. It's a long, long process.
I'm sorry you've struggled so long AmayaTsuki. I'm struggling with anxiety as well after getting out of an abusive relationship. I really hope to be able to dig myself out of the rut I've found myself in. Thanks so much for the advice.
Thank you! I only recently started feeling better. It comes and goes pretty frequently, with more lows than highs. I like to try to utilize the highs as much as possible, since I don't know when I'll have them again.
I've been depressed for about 2 years now, and man is it crippling my creativity. I'm just starting to dig my way out of it as well. I hope your painting turns out feel!
Ginko, I was also in an abusive relationship, though my issues started long before that. Once messaging becomes available, if you ever want someone to talk to feel free to message me.
