A message from someone who WAS Depressed

9 14

They say the art tells a lot about the artist. This is true for me.

This is the first time I'm sharing these arts to the public. I've kept and never displayed these because I'm afraid that people will see my pain thru my arts. I'm ashamed because people might think I'm weak.

But this time, I want to share these for awareness and to give hope to those who are suffering. Even in the smallest way, I am hoping my article would help.

No need for words. This art speaks for itself.
This is a very sad truth. Oil pastel on regular sketch paper.
Drowning alone in misery. Oil pastel on regular sketch paper.

I am aware that many people nowadays suffer secretly. They hide it may be because they are ashamed or maybe because they don't want to bother the people around them.

But I want to tell you that, there's nothing to be ashamed of. Feeling pain is not being weak. It is alright to cry. Everyone experiences different pains. It is a good thing if you will share it. I believe the people who love you will be more than glad to help you get through that pain.

Also, don't pressure yourself. Maybe there are times that you will feel left-out, useless, or unloved. One day you saw on social media that everyone is living a good life, then you question yourself,

"What happened to me? What am I doing all this time? Why am I the only one not successful?"

Let me tell you this: We set our own pace. We run our own race. Life is not a marathon. It is not about who will be successful first or who will be the richest.

Life is about living the way we want. The way that makes us happy. May it be simple or luxurious life, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you are happy and contented. We must also appreciate those people who love us. Maybe we are not aware because we are too focused on our own misery and pain, but I'm sure there is someone who loves you and cares for you.

Don't let society ruin you. Never settle to the standard of the society. Never let them set your goals, your standards, or your life.

Remember, it is YOUR life. You are beautiful in your own way. You will achieve your goals in your own perfect time. Just live your life to the fullest.

It alright to fail, to be disappointed, to not achieve in your first try. What's not okay is GIVING UP. You must stand up, try again, and never lose hope.

Do your best and God will do the rest ❣️

I just want to clarify that these are all based on my experiences. If ever there's something wrong or I missed something, please feel free to comment. All comments are welcome. I know I still have a lot to learn and I will be more than glad if you guys help me. Thank you ❣️

Depression is evil and unhealthy. It's victims should be helped.

Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. Its the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. Its wanting friends but hate socialising. Its wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. Its caring about everything then caring about nothing. Its feeling everything at once then feeling paralysingly numb.

Do not fret girl. There is always hope. Your mind is a battlefield. Do let yourself be defeated by those little voices. Pray. Trust in the Lord.

Your art may tell you about you but it doesn't tell the whole you, so use the remaining you to do the best out of it. Just don't do the same mistake again and live a happy life.

You are always welcome. If you need some advice and want to understand life deeper. Or if you want someone to talk with and nobody listens, just write it out. Surely, your pen understands and your blank page will listen.
