Last year I was diagnosed with MDD. I wasn't eating, sleeping, function properly. I was feeling dead inside. Art used to be one of my passions but because of MDD, I didn't have the slightest interest nor intention to create anything.
The meds and therapy helps a lot and here I am picking up my brushes again and feeling happy doing so. No pressure to be perfect. Just enjoying the process again.
@SteveTomms thank you. Unfortunately I hit rock bottom again. Struggling everyday now. Lost 5kg from not eating and sleeping too much. Just got diagnosed with ADHD recently too. When I decided to share the news with the one person I thought would understand the most, it backfired on me. Life is harsh sometimes. Waiting to see the rainbow again.
@uncalled4 took me years tho. I didn't realise what I was going through was not normal. It took me contemplating to jump off from a roof top to finally made me realised I needed professional help.
I'm glad you got your demon under control now. I wish you all the goodness in the world.
@mistfox Same here. Years of anxiety attacks and other garbage like that. I finally hit bottom (mentally) and agreed to have meds do what I couldn't. And I was lucky because I wasn't on them too long.
