I’ve been struggling with depression for a long time now, but I act positive so no one sees me as “sad”, “weird”, or “faking it” or whatever.

I’ve been making Beasty for a few weeks to help others see depression through my eyes, but no one really gets it.

At first it was a kind of complicated drawing but I made it simpler over time.

Depression has really weakened me from my grades to my friendships and I really hope to get some help…

Beastly’ first drawing (and last like this). Depression is the goopy thing I think Beasty represents me a little…

Beasty is simplified now. It made it easier for me to draw and a bit cuter to relieve some stress.

Sometimes it’s like a wave of horrible things comes at me after I’ve just reached the air of success…

I’ve been trying to escape for so long but I can never reach my goal…

The monster is always after me and no matter how hard I fight it, it’s always there.

I try talking to others, but they don’t understand… 😔

It feels like it’s caving in on me, waiting for me to snap

It WILL get better. It's never easy to hear, and it's impossible to believe during what you're going through, but it will. Listen to Derpicorn: find someone you trust that listens well. It won't fix everything, but it will help, and every little step is progress toward beating back that goopy thing. You ARE Beasty, and you can do it. Words from strangers on the internet don't always help, but we can't offer you much else.

Depression is a hard topic... people think it's weird or just sadness but it's much more. If it is affecting your grades and social life, you should really get some help. It's hard to find advice from people on the internet so I know you've probably tried a lot. You should talk to someone closest to you and tell them what's really going on.
