Maybe some big boobies will help you feel better?

Don't worry there wolf, just take any and all the time you need. I think people will understand, your well being come first. :D

I'm going to see a counsellor right now for almost the same issues, relating to why I can't find motivation to do the stuff I (thought) I like to do, feeling like I'm waiting on a job opportunity I spent money to learn how to do and fearing it'll go to waste, as well as some old family drama wounds that didn't heal properly. It's helping me a lot.
As for the whole "expecting" thing from the people you know, relationships aren't a series of transactions or a scoreboard. It's not on you to try and make everyone else feel good when you yourself aren't feeling good. It's draining, it's unhealthy, and it doesn't help you or them.
So take whatever steps you need. And if you think you're failing by not feeling "good" as soon as you think you ought, I've learned from myself and my counsellor and the people who've been in counselling that there is no deadline to feeling better. Start with getting to fine.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

Sounds like you might be lacking a sense of fulfilment in your life. I know the feeling.
Bit of a weird suggestion, but try watching the film, A Silent Voice. I found the main character very relatable. It didn't cure my depression, but it gave me a lot to think about and I feel a lot happier in part because of watching it.

I'm sorry to hear that you're still having this much problems. Just remember that we're always here for ya no matter what. And if you feel like that you just need to vent off and chat with someone, we're also here to support you. 💝

I know the feeling buddy.
All I can really say is that everyday is an opportunity to get better, it’s the little things that matter. Even if it’s just something simple like waking up in the morning and getting out of bed.
Don’t beat yourself up about feelings that you can’t help.
And you’ll never disappoint me.

Hey. I hear you. I don't know what to say.

I know exactly how you feel. I don't know how to fix it. I wish I could help. I had a few days of getting some art done and felt really good, and then the magic left. There's things I'm avoiding, and it's not helping my anxiety. I know the problem of keeping stuff safe too. I've whittled my concern down to just a few things and I can't take care of those either.

Your art makes me smile, and my only suggestion is try to tackle some small things. Like, it's a stupid example but I have a bathroom fan that's been broken for over a year. I don't know that fixing it will make me feel any better, but it's on the list. I planted a few tomato seeds just to have something to water and watch every day. They're sort of turning out. They'll be a lot of work for a couple tomatoes but it's something.

Hugs and hope things improve.

The only thing that keeps me going when I feel like there is no point is trying to make your family or friends happy and there are a lot of people to help if they want to be helped that is. Maybe there is a homeless cat that comes by every once in a while that you can be friendly to one day for a few minutes a week, maybe there is a visit to someone you could do one day out of a month or season, and maybe after helping someone or something you'll find an answer or at least ask whats next or whos next to help this week/month/season.

I can understand Sam. I'm only now getting treatment for my anxiety and depression. That shit can be hard to deal with on your own, especially if you have more shit going on. You're not a disappoint at all. Just take your time man, we'll still be here.

Sam buddy, we're all here for you even if you need time away, I never once had a single negative thought about you and see you as someone who I love to respect for being a creative and funny (fox man) person. No matter what happens, a lot of us here always have your back through thick and thin

Come on, Wolf. Hang in there. We believe in you.

Coming to us for help is a good step in the right direction. We're here for you with whatever is troubling you, you dont have to face it alone.

*Hugs*

Disappointing others is one of my biggest fears and motivators, so I know how you feel there. Depression and anxiety don't have to make sense, they sometimes just descend on you without any warning or reason. You can't feel guilty about something you can't control. Take care of yourself and you'll weather the storm, however long or brief it ends up being.

Sounds like someone needs....KITTENS! :D

As far as I am concerned, you don't have to apologize. It's not your fault that this happened to you. I do hope you can break through this cycle you are going through, I really hope you do. Because feeling the way you do does suck a lot.

But again I do hope you get through this well.

Hope you feels better

Just know I luv you! But I know from experience that being Idle makes depression worse. Busy yourself with something, art, new hobby, work. It distracts the mind.

I know that feeling all too well. I really hope you get through because it sucks. No one should ever feel as awful as you do. Take your time my guy.

You're all good. Hopefully these feelings soon pass and you are able to feel confident again.

Take as much time as you need.

Completely understandable situation you did a good job explaining Sam. For what it's worth I'd consider you one of the greats for not just your incredible artists talents but also your hilariously great sense of humor and also the courage to draw the things you did. Wish there was a better artistic environment for people like you.

Finding the hidden messages in your scenes has been a fun pastime over the years. Thanks a lot for sharing your artwork! Even though it's furry porn the fact that you draw what you want and have such a great sense of humor is very meaningful. The world would be a better place with more people like you.

Hope you feel better. Good luck with everything!

This is why I gave you space to sort things out. We both suffer from anxiety and depression. Fairly recently my neurologist prescribed me medicine for dizziness and vertigo.

We all want you to be at your absolute best, so health comes first. Take care of yourself and you'll feel better in no time flat.

*Hugs*

Ive been there. Almost like your mind isn’t happy unless it’s mentally beating you up. Just know you’re love and your art is amazing and I think you’re a fantastic person ❤️

I pray for your safety.

Casn I make a suggestion? Two things:

1.) Get out of your head. Read a long book, and DON'T read any news or current events. Stay away from Social media, and
Read.
A.
Book.
It can be any7thing you are interested in, but I suggest fiction, for the engagement and immersion. Manga counts. American Co90mics do not count as they are mostly too short. You want something long enough to get out of your head, and think about something other than you, yourself, and your situation. This is why escapism is so important.

2.) IF you are so dissatisfied with your current work, then change up your media. Take up sculpting, or learn 3D (Blender is free). This does two things. Rewires your thinking a bit, and gives you a proper excuse to suck, but the improvement will solve that problem.

Another cause for depression is not getting enough sleep. Get in your 9 hours a night.

You can try to talk to those that make you happy. One of the greatest things to helping yourself is communication. Talking to close friends, relatives, family, associates, just people that you like talking to and vice versa really helps a lot. It has helped me a lot with my own problems and keeps me from going insane, so I know exactly how you feel. I just hope things improve on your end, buddy. Take care and don’t apologize for something you didn’t do.

I'm really sorry you're feeling this way. :( We're here for you Sam. I hope you feel better. <3

It is where you have to decide God is good.

Good personel heath always comes first. Its ok Sam you take as a much times as you need. Talking about is the best way to go. Asking help from a family or firend is a good way to help you. "The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem and accepting what needs to be done to fix it, So that way you can regain your happiness.

If you ever need someone to talk to were here for you Sam.

Sorry to hear you're still struggling, Sam. I wish could offer more useful advice, but my knowledge about this matter is very limited. So all I can offer you is my support and well wishes for you on the road to recovery and improvement.

Wishing you well, bud!

Hey Sam.

I've been kinda depressed myself. A lot has been happening and I just feel shitty.

I hope you can feel better. We're all here for you, Dude.

No need to apologize! I hope you're feeling better, soon!

Hey hun, we all have our problems and learn how to fight our inner demons in our own way and own rhythm.
*offers huge boob hug to keep ya warm and safe

Remember you can always just NOTE me on FA if ya need to talk or vent out. I'll always be here fur ya hun!
I know your answer, but I'll ask/suggest you get Discord, so we can actually talk in a regular basis. Specially if it's a Discord just for close friends ^^
I wish I could do more to help you feel better
I WANT to help ya feel better if I can ^^

I'm sorry to hear about the situation you're having dude. I'm always open to listen to your problems since i'm abit of a therapist. maybe you want someone to talk to as well?

Also, please don't hurt yourself dude... I really want you to be happy and healthy.

Hey Sam,
Personally speaking I'm just happy to hear from you again and you don't have to apologize for anything, it is pretty natural to try and take a break from your everyday life when you're feeling like this. I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out though...

Artistically speaking though I think I'm far from the only one that thinks you're an amazing artist, just looking at all these comments above mine shows you have quite some people enjoying what you do and caring about your well-being!

About your personal enjoyment, have you thought about other things that could interest you? I personally have many things that I find interesting but either lack the time or money to do so, but if your hobby of collecting things doesn't make you happy anymore maybe you could spend that time, energy and finances on something else that may seem interesting to you?

You stay safe now, and don't be afraid to ask for help or making other journals like these if you need to vent or are looking for advice or outside opinions!

Sorry to hear that, my friend. Depression is hard to deal with but it’s not unbeatable. I know that you’ll pull this through and be back to your awesome and jolly self that we know and love. Me and many wonderful people here are there for you, so you don’t have to be worried.

I’ll be here if you ever want to talk about art, hobbies and other stuff. And boobs, of course. 😜

Ah man, many people miss you. Don't hate yourself both as an artist and person. Everyone can be better and get put of all of this nonsense. All of this negativity is just challenges that the Devil has placed us to prove ourselves to be worth the entrance to Heaven. You are no believer, but if you believe in your actions, especially good ones, then is possible that you will get out of this "failing hiatus".

Sorry to hear you're struggling. Sometimes, you just need to try something new.

Ironic coming from me though, I'm fucked.

You helped inspire me to draw again with your awesome advice in your notes!

I know this is two weeks old but man...

I think your collections and hobbies is epic! Dude, I've been through hell and I can safely say that you are a badass dude. You rock my world.

You didn't disappoint me. I'm actually bummed to see you down. I hope you feel better and please feel free to talk in notes or do whatever. You rock! There is zero reason to be sorry.

I feel your pain and I still love your art

Sam, I hope you’re doing okay.

You’re the person responsible for shaping my childhood into the man I am today. You’re not just my mentor, you’re also a friend.

The mind is an interesting thing. It's the center of our being, the connection between the soul and the physical flesh, so to speak, and as such, it is a delicate, precious thing, so when there is something wrong, whether you were born with it or it developed at a latter time, you can feel it. It's been a long time since I've said anything to you, and while I myself am going through a phase of isolation myself, with occassional anxiety, an existential crisis, the fear that I might die before I do anything enjoyable, before I finally manage to break out of this isolated state. I am glad to have checked on you, because I was wondering if you still are around. Sadly, time flies faster than I can keep up with it. I myself am seeking professional help since 2017-ish, and my state improved, though it has been slow for a while.

I wish I could be more useful, since this is a serious issue you're facing, far more severe than I ever had face myself. I bet you heard these before, but let me give you a reminder:

It helps that you take care of yourself, and do the things you were too afraid of doing. Like going to the dentist. Far too long, more than a decade, have I been sitting on the issue myself, and it feels so much better now that I got rid of teeth I can't save, and the ones I can are being taken care of gradually. That was just one example. The point is, do give yourself some you time!

Second is to do your best to be a good person. No matter how much it hurts, one should always try to do good to others. This is easy for some, hard for others. And even harder during such a time where everything is at stake, but everyone seems to have lost their heads. It is important, however, that you don't let others take advantage of you. Being a good person is not about serving others. You do have to stand up for yourself, as "contradictory" as it sounds.

People also say a lot that you visit good professional help. Emphasis on good, because not all are good at being professional. Sometimes, the only one who can help is one who carefully studied the human mind, both the organ, and the soul. I've been attending a psychologist visit for years now. Just talking, speaking your mind, does wonders. Although there is a con in cost, if you are poor.

I hope you take care of yourself. You are one of the few that inspired me to put some practice into pushing pencils to illustrate whatever I want to illustrate. And remember, you need space. Nobody is entitled to be in your presence, if you can't afford it. Sometimes, a healthy ammount of alone time helps heal. Even if I do have to say that being a loner, I do suffer from it often.

Been there, mate. We all need our space and comfort. Hope you'll be okay and wish you the best.

Stay safe, man. We'll be here when you need us.
