Pleeeeeease don't pop....

Unfortunately depression has reared it's ugly head for me again... [Where I first opened up about tough times]

And it's come with it's sister, anxiety.

Anxiety is the smaller, meaner one, where as depression is the more manipulative. Depression makes you think she's your friend, then pushes a knife into your hand and whispers to hurt yourself. Anxiety punches you in the chest while shouting in your ear about all the times you fucked up. It's an unpleasant duo.

I try and not listen to either, but it's hard.

I'm really glad I opened up and told my story with mental health, but it's actually it's still quite hard for me to talk about online. I really don't want to sound like I'm moaning or throwing a pity party. I have many wonderful blessings in this life which I am so grateful for, but I do also have a mental health condition which sometimes makes life horribly difficult.
I also know there are thousands of people who struggle like I do, and I know just opening up about my experience can help.
So I don't want to be quiet about it. Sorry if it comes off as moaning, but I truly believe this is an issue worth opening up about " title="Heart" />
It's a struggle at the moment, and drawing helps me deal

Thanks for all the kindness shown towards me, it is comforting to know how many people understand x

Hope the painting itself is kind of self explanatory... but I'd love to hear your opinions and interpretations on it's meaning


Just opened my print shop up for Christmas: destinyblue.storenvy.com/ with free shipping all December " title="Heart" />

Peace, Love and Red Balloons,
