I know how that is. Everyone goes through it from time to time. Just try to do things that you like to do and don't worry about anything. It will pass. Sometimes sleeping helps...but don't oversleep because it naturally makes you feel depressed. -hugs-
Persistence. Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.
--Calvin Coolidge
One of my favorite quotes. My dad has it framed on his desk. It really is true. You just gotta be determined and you gotta keep on pushing. Be persistent. Eventually you will make it. You have great talent, but you can't just rely on that. You gotta push it...put it out there...make people notice it. Then you can use it to your advantage.
Get out in the world and do something. That's the only advice I can give. Wish I could be more helpful. :\ But it DOES improve one's mood to get out of the house. Lately me and my girlfriend have been taking walks every day and cooking a meal every night (usually we sit around the house on our computers and nibble on snacks) and it's really improved my life. I feel better...more energetic...and like my life is worth something because I have more to do in a day. Make goals for yourself...even if they're just daily. Tell yourself that tomorrow, you're going to get up and take a nice, long walk. Look at the sights, take it all in. Get inspiration, if you feel it. Talk to at least one person even if you just pop into a shop to order some coffee. Maybe get away from your computer and paint something...write a story...invent something, craft something, do something.
The fuller your life is, the better you'll feel. And no one can make you happy but you...and you only feel down when you let yourself feel down.
Just know that no one can help you but yourself. I can say all the encouraging things I want but they're not going to do anything if you just shoot them down.
Be happy. That's the only advice I can give you. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I tried.
Know what you've been thus far, you've been to get it out of your way, to learn those mistakes well and less likely to repeat them, and so you may only become something else so much better/ beyond
And if you're lonely, make that be your drive - to truly flesh out stories of worlds and people to keep you company, remind you there's ups and downs and it'll go up again--and know later you can share what you make with everyone else.

At least that's what I try to do ._.
But then I just minglewastetime online and blathercomment at other artists e_e
Crazyartists make crazyartistgoodcompany <3
Yush
We need more paintchats or something is what .__.
I feel like I might be slightly Bipolar. I'm happy hanging with my friends and then maybe I think of something in the back of my mind and then BAM. feelin down and depressed and lonely, even though I'm surrounded by awesome people. it's soo weird.
And I can't seem to draw or get anything done when I start to feel like that either, I just sit around all mopey uuggh.
I really hope it passes. Sometimes I just need a really good friend to crack some jokes and make me laugh, or hang out with whatever friend I feel I need the most at that moment. I dunno what will get you outta the funk, but I hope it doesn't last -hug-

Oddly enough that's nothing new to me. :I

Then I realized no one would ever put up with me, and that things are better this way.
