Peace brother, from a fellow cronic depressed person. My battle has finally taken to peace time. My horror is; one day I feel courageous fearless and free. The very next day I am back to dieing inside. Thanking my maker I no longer own a gun.

Omg, what a fabulous paintings with wonderful captions (y)

Omg, I feel you. I have done something a lot like this to help with my sadness (haven't been diagnosed with depression but I'm pretty sure) except mine are nowhere near as mind-blowing. I posted my pics too but they can't stand up to this! Keep arting and I hope you feel better soon!

Fellow sufferers everywhere, my heart aches for you. Keep on fighting, help is out there. Never give in, even on the darkest frightening days. Easier said than done I know. One minute @ a time. God Bless you.

This is cool. Will try creating something like this some time.

beautiful

All of these are pretty cool but this is my favorite!

why we cant't put 10 up arrows at once...so beautiful work and energy

The personification of crippling anxiety.

Is this one blind? Poor owl...

I like this one. In my interpretation this portrays the calmness and contentment of solidarity. Just having your own little island in the sky to yourself. The breeze through your hair and the scent of wild flowers upon a gentle fog. All you need now are a couple cushions, bucket of food and water, a nice sketch pad and pencils or reading book. I wouldn't mind my own sky island.

Ruellen, it is very telling that this art work is gray. Years ago, I went through a divorce & I never saw color. It was a situational depression & only lasted about 6 months, but, it was excruciatingly painful, ,so I have some personal experience . My life has been , &, still is good even though I'm taking care of a dying husband. Clinical depression has chemical changes in the brain. That's why meds help. Barbaric as it was, when I was in nursing school , I watched electric shock treatments of patients in a hospital setting. They lost memory , & sometimes their depression. Now, mental health tx is more humane.

"Loneliness is the absence of light not not obscurity," by me.

What if one cannot warm himself? I sit by a fire and cannot help but burn myself. It's a beautiful destructive flower.

A dragon! Words are the greatest tool humanity has. Learning to understand the meaning of them is humanities greatest weakness.

Creepy

That's what I said yesterday

I change my colors constantly as well...
