I just wanna take a sec from my normal happy smiley drawings to touch on something. While it may be sad to think about a lot of people suffer from depression and I’m not really an exception. I had suffered from severe depression from the time i was about 11 all the way to about my senior year in high school. It got particularly bad in those later years as i started withdrawing into myself and cutting off ties with people who were close to me and i hurt a number of them a lot. But now i want to move on to why I’ve drawn this.
I’d like this to be an example to people who are suffering or are confused in their depression. martininamerica has a wonderful series documenting his own struggles with this disease and i’d like to add onto something he said in one of his entries. “Depression isn’t better than you, it’s only part of you so how can it be better than all of you?” Given i may be paraphrasing a bit, but what i’d like to add is that you are stronger than your depression. It is only as strong as you let it become and the more you try to overcome it, the more it will try to tell you that you can’t, but the thing is you can.
Obviously everyone’s healing process will work differently, for me it was as simple as what I’ve drawn, beating it down and paying it back for all the heartache it had caused both me and those around me. I realized i had a problem, and i dealt with it.
You can do it, you CAN beat it! Don’t let it boss you around; push it back, force it to the floor and knock it’s stupid face into next week!
