*hug* Hang in there!

I don't believe that. You're a really great person. *hugs*

What! Don't think that! Everyone belongs in this world no matter
Who you are. You are really great artist. *hugs*

*snuggles* Don't give up. Continue to enjoy for who you are. Everyone belongs in this world. Don't take away your life. <3

I really hope you beat this, man. I'm currently considering buying tickets to go to the UK, just to find you and give you a get well soon hug. It's a really expensive gesture so I probably won't, but its the thought that counts. Get well soon!

I've been here on FA for some time, and I always look forward to seeing one of your pieces.
It makes me sad that a person who can draw so well seems to be struggling and feeling so low all the time. Wait, scratch that. It makes me sad that a person period is feeling so low.
I was in a really bad way myself a few years ago. I know it sounds redundant, but it gets better.
I'll be cheering for that day that it gets better, and should you need someone to talk to, this stranger here is willing to lend an ear. :)

I think too many of you appreciate the bad side of life. Want to kill yourself because someone does not like you, because guy treats you badly, because life is not like one would hope for, etc.., Seriously? If everyone who ever felt so decided to kill herself, went missing coffin to put so many people ... this is not the way. You need to understand that suffering is part of life, and suffering need not always be a bad experience, it can be a way of learning too. I understand that for some the lesser of suffering is hard to bear, but that's life. Or you strengthens or succumbs.

See you guys talking about what they do not like, how much suffering and such, but what you have and good to tell? What your life has to offer good for? They think she has nothing good to you? Or do you pay so much attention on the negative aspects that end up ignoring the positives? I think everyone at some point has thought or will think about quitting, but it is at these times that you need to remember the things you like, the people who care about you, think of yourself. Where's the self-love of you? Love yourself first, living seeking the approval of others will only frustrate you because they can never please everyone.

Seriously you suffer so much? Are you sure? Have you stopped to think about the people who face serious problems and still manage to smile, have moments of happiness, even in the midst of pain, suffering? Where do you seek happiness? In the other? Do you think someone else will bring happiness to you? Sorry to say, but as you looking in the wrong place. It's not hard to be happy. A song, a pleasant memory, the mere presence of a loved one, a place, a delicious food, all this can provide small and memorable moments of happiness. Why not take advantage? If someone you 'love' does not match the feelings of you, ok then ball forward. If you are sad, be sad. Lock yourself in your room, put your favorite music at full volume, and wait for the pain to pass. Because it always passes. After that maybe you can evaluate things clearly, and see that what you did not suffer was something so terrible.

Anyway, not going to post anything, but I read reviews so defeatist here, I just felt the need to say what I think. The things I wrote might not give good results with you, but work with me, and many people believe. My life is not perfect, I'm real dog days, days that I feel like a worthless trash, and still find a way to smile, to forget problems, to be happy. Try doing the same, can succeed. And if not, no harm in trying. Better than thinking about giving up everything for any nonsense

Well said, have a watch.

well said uwu

I think you've completely missed the point.

He said he's tried doing things that cheer him up. Each time he tried, they fail to cheer him up. It's not for lack of trying that he's feeling down. I'm impressed that he has the will to try to do things to cheer himself up in the first place. I think this comic illustrates his position and your response to it quite well:

He may just be seriously depressed, and there's nothing anyone can do to will themselves out of it. Depression is a medical condition, not a series of coincidentally bad days.

I believe your intentions are good, but your attempt at inspiring him to be happy seems naive to me.

People are right, you should not give up!
*hugs*

(big hugs) If you want to talk about maybe we can thru notes :)

*UberHuggles you with my arms & tails*
You're a real nice guy though

It sounds like you need a vacation somewhere so you can relax and forget about the world, some place where you can have fun all the time. It worked for my depressed aunt, and she came back looking more alive than we'd seen her in years.

As someone who suffers from clinical depression I understand some of what you're feeling. I also know that trying to get myself to be happy can sometimes backfire and sometimes everyone telling me I'm worthwhile makes me feel worse. I have no easy answers.

Please know that I am sorry you have been feeling this way and I wish there was something I could do to help. Please also know that you can find happiness in this world and that you are meant to be here. You're a good man and a lot of people respect and care for you and I only wish I could help you find a way to feel better.

Depression's a bitch. I've been there many times. :/ Note me any time if you want to talk about it.

Trust me. Many people would be worse off without you, not better.

As for trying to make yourself feel better, all I can say is that trying to make yourself feel better with that intent can backfire, as whatever bothers you would still be in your mind. You would only end up stressing yourself more when you don't feel better. Leaving such things to a natural flow without forcing them on work better. That's my observation at least, for what it's worth.

*hugs*

... "slap your face" DO NOT BE A WUSS!!!! Look at all those posts!!! Those persons are who cares about you. Have you ever think how they would feel looking you, an awesome artist, giving up about life for bad moments?!
... Being a live is wonderful... it's true that there are bad moments... but everyone... not just the persons who posted something on this journal or you... EVERYONE ON THE WHOLE WORLD ARE LIVING SOMETHING TOUGHER AND/OR HARSHER THAN YOU!!!!... and some of they learned something important... how to be happy and smile no matter what... but it's up to you... Do you wanna try it?...

Seen a Doctor about Depression yet ?

What my mates on = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escitalopram

NEVER give up on life! Happiness WILL come! Just be patient and hopeful.

When you're in the Wrestling Ring of Life, when you get knocked off of your feet you don't stay down on the mat if you can avoid it. All that does is open yourself up to more and more pain. You gotta get yourself back on your feet and give your jabroni opponent the beating right back!

You gotta learn to roll with the punches the jerks send your way or yer just gonna keep getting knocked around. Never be afraid to reach for the ropes if your on the wrong end of a pin or submission move if you're not sure how to kick out of it. Never forget that you've always got options.

On top of that, there are people here that are always willing to tag-team with you against your problems if you let them. There are lots of people here (myself included) that're in your corner. Trust me. You're not alone.

Now get back in there and give 'em a Snap-Suplex they'll never forget!

(Hugs) Please don't say that. Please just hang in there.

The world doesn't hate you. It just doesn't especially know you exist (you, or me, or indeed any number of people).

Which is to say that doing *nothing* is not a solution.

To a degree, I know how you feel. It's almost like you feel that there's no place for you in the world, and that the universe is somehow trying to get you. No one really understands or can even hear you, no matter how loud you scream. I can't truly understand what your going through specifically, but I feel your pain, right down to the heart.
Listen, you're a great person and artist, and your watchers know this. Think of it this way, you say things aren't working out for you right? Well look at all the people who are here to support you, to pick you up when you're down, lending their strength to give you the motivation to keep going. We are here to do whatever we can humanly (or animaly) possible to help.
We are all here to support you in your time of need. You know we all love ya and care for you, which is why we're here, not out of force but of free will to lend a hand and give you a hug in hopes that you'll feel better. And if the world is just being evil then don't worry, we'll be your world; the one that cares enough to lift your spirits. Please don't give up, you still have so much to live for. *hugs*

I hope u feel better soon
