Depression
2 weeks ago
General
Depression has been kicking my ass all week making me feel unworthy of love and that I should just give up changing my ways before I even have a chance. I was blind to how I was treating the yinglet I had feelings for. It all came to a head and I have been battling severe depression since then constantly assaulting me with negative thoughts and feelings of shame and guilt and I don't know how to get it shut the fuck up. All they want me to do is become a better person and I want that. I am working on not being clingy and jealous since those things pushed them away. We're still friends since we do care a lot about each other. We've known each other since the late 90s.

I know this is not quite the same, but over the last 2 weeks I was considering permanently giving up on art, because I was so stressed out and anxious, and it was forcing me into a very self loathing state of mind, and I didn't want to quit, I did want it to end, but it kept lingering in my head that it would just be easier, that I did not have the mind for it, and that it was just no longer for me. It took some time and some encouragement from a friend of mine that I just needed to cut myself some slack, there is no right or wrong way, and that even though I didn't have all the opportunities that he may have been given, there is nothing I can do about it, all I can do is focus on what I can do now, to get better. I think the same applies here, what is in the past, is in the past, it is a lesson of learning, we are not perfect beings, we can only act, fail, learn, try again,
Just know that things are only over, and I need to take my own advice here, thins are only over when you have resigned yourself to not get up and carry on.
I know this song helped me getting through my inner turmoil, maybe it will help you, remind you that you are not alone, this is something many others have experienced:
