You've always been my favorite furry old fart, all the way back to the "Tess & Ricks" days.

You leave a lasting impression on people! ^_^

Always loved chatting with you or randomly getting scritch-attacked by you.

You're a good guy!

Also, get your vitamin levels checked, could be having the "sads" from being inside too much and not getting enough Vitamin-D. I dealt with anxiety and depression for years and terrible pills just to find out it was all a vitamin deficiency from being a gothy little night-ferret.

**hugs**

Some exercise will help too. Stretching is a good start. Cardio helps burn fat and improve stamina. Squats, push ups, and weight lifts help build strength.

Of course, ya gotta eat healthy to support your body.

• Protein to build muscle and support healthy hair and nails
• Omega-3s for a healthy brain
• Calcium for healthy bones
• Iron for healthy blood
• Fruit for energy and digestion
• Fiber (water soluble and insoluble) to keep you cleaned out
• Vitamin A for healthy eyes
• Antioxidants for a strong immune system
• Lots of water to stay hydrated.

Sunlight will help you produce the vitamin D you need to digest calcium.

Depression is a rotten bitch. She lies, too. You matter, and the fact that yer posting this is a small victory. Yer still here, still fighting, and you can keep fighting.

This!

Of course you matter! I'll always remember that you talked me into going to my first furry convention. AND I still have a great photo of you as a Stormtrooper arresting me in my Micah fursuit.

Not that it's any of my business, but do you take anything for the depression? (I can make several recommendations based on my own experience...heh)

Course you matter. People like you make this world a better place. Too many dumbfucks out there screwing shit up; world needs more decent people like you.

This is what keeps me going.

Al Bundy was a GOD! :D

I'd miss you if you were gone.

For something to (hopefully) cheer you:

You betcha! Just hang in there. It will get better.

Of course you matter, dear sir. Depression is a nasty thing, but you need to make her your bitch somehow. I know you burnt yourself out on drawing. But you could try just sketching some stuff for yourself that will never see the light of day. Vent art so to speak.

Don't give into despair. Always remember, this is a trick of your brain and not real. People care about you and the world is still good.

I can feel you there. I've always enjoyed your work and that rifleman's knife you made me is still going strong. Gotta take care of yourself, that's what everyone tells me (but I tend to be hard headed thought).

You matter. Especially to me.
Look up chair exercises. They'll help you get your movement regimine in with support.
Ill try to call you soon. PM me with a good time.

I`d say you matter. Also doing excercises you can do from a chair or couch in your house is better then no excercise.

You definitely still matter! *hugs*

F'Moko will abSOLUTLY kick your ASS if you do anything
stupid or try to! She's watching out for you as much as
she can just like the rest of the Mob so yeah you DO
matter. So get out, get some exercise and start making
sharp and dangerous objects for us again!!

Cause we are for SURE gonna need them soon!!

I was cleaning out a folder of furry art recently, and I found some old stuff of yours from VCL.

There were a couple one-shot characters I adopted from you, and more art and stories with them are forthcoming.

Your stuff still holds up, and I think it means a lot when I get to get something, even if just a character, from an artist whose work I enjoyed long before I was able to do much more in the fandom than just lurk.
