To Ask Of A Personal Question
Added 2018-02-20 00:40:09 +0000 UTCHey there everyone! I hope people have been enjoying February so far, I hope to do some more drawings and start up commissions again within the coming weeks! And at this time, I can't help but ask you all a personal question. If you do experience it, how do you guys cope with depression? I am trying my best to balance now online social life, a work life and an art pursuing life. But lately I've been feeling stretched thin and finding it hard to get the motivation going to work on all three. I never want to disappoint you all and that lingering feeling that I'm not doing enough on all facets is overwhelming at times.

Thank you for the replies! To clarify a few things, don't worry guys I'm not in a spiral or anything like that! I'm just very aware of my own depression and my battles with it. Late night musings when you should be asleep leads to throwing out a question to receive a different perspective on things :)

It can be an undertaking finally finding a therapist or psychiatrist that's right for you, but you may find after that fact that you'd wish you'd started seeing someone far sooner.

If that fails, what works for me personally are deep breathing exercises and trying to stay 'zen' and objective minded aka telling myself that falling apart is NOT an option and not something I have time for. The best advice is to try seeking professional help, though!
