Yknow, its completely up to you if you want to answer this or not. But.
I always believed people with similar troubles understand each other to an extend others cant do. Your art, the way you draw, I don't know, it tells a story that is too familiar to me, too close to home. Not that it got any better for me, Im trying to clean up still an addict some might say. But thank you. I also really hope you're okay. 🫶
i think there is a kind of solidarity in being able to recognise in other ppls art similar experiences. i hope it does get better for you - even if you look at yourself now and compare it to where you were last year, any improvement is improvement. i am reluctantly accepting myself that healing takes a long, long time. i'm as okay as i can be right now, i'm learning to use healthy coping mechanisms like art and writing as an outlet, but it's always going to be a journey and i'm always going to have bad days. i'm learning too that there's no one right way that recovery looks like.
#asks#been sitting on this one a while bc i wasnt sure how to answer it idk#i still struggle with depression and sh and ive kind of accepted that it will always be something i struggle with#which has made relapses seem less like earth shattering failures that i set up for myself#and more like opportunities for harm reduction and stuff iunno#mental health is hard and expecting myself to be Normal has only ever put extra pressure on me that made me worse#accepting that im kind of always going to be like this but i can manage symptoms has been a hard pill to swallow but it's made like#an idea of recovery seem more attainable and realistic rather than something ill never have
