Depression is a parasite. by BlueNire

Depression.

It's like a parasite that lives within you, latches onto your life-lines and nurses on your joys until all that manages to reach your brain is a small trickle of what you're used to. Just barely enough to keep you eating, bathing, and sleeping.

Mine has been particularly glutinous as of late and I've been reduced to just functioning.

I know from experience that with time it will leave me alone.

It'll drain it's fill- and once it's finally bloated on my elations, my arterial-like streams of joy that allow me to see the world in happier perceptions will gasp and start to breathe again.

Until then, I just ask you guys humbly for your wonderful patience, for it seems my ability to draw is directly tied to it. :(

I send my love and wish you all the best <3.

Sincerely,
Nire

      It's just a lot of.....negative self-talk + social warfare at work. :(
      Since I've chatted with you about this sort of thing, I think you have a good idea what I'm talking about, sadly :(
      It'll just take time...and patience. :)

    I know those feelings all too well. If you ever need to talk, you know where to find me.

    That being said, holy shit, you should be a writer. That was....well for lack of a better word, beautiful.

    I know what it's like. I have general anxiety and depression and they both fuck with my ability to draw (it's the sole reason my art updates have been so scarce for the past few years).
