Hey

How are you?
I'm back in school for a winter class. I was expecting to have more time to create more work and to just get some practice sketches in before the next semester but this portraiture class is taking most of my time and creative energy. It is going OK; I am mostly using it as an opportunity to get back into painting and try new things before my painting class next semester.
My mood lately has been up and down. I think it is safe to say at this point that I do have some form of depression. But now that I know I can hopefully learn to avoid the things that ruin my mood and send me into depressive states.
Making art seems to help, if I can push myself to do it. Right now I'm trying to get back into a reasonable sleeping pattern, but lately I have been spending a lot of evenings and late nights with friends, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It can definitely bring my mood up if I have had a bad day.
I'm still working on the illustrated question and answers.
good night!
Thanks for asking, I am doing well. Emergency care studies are in progress and graduation getting near.
Glad to hear you are doing well in your classes. I am sorry to hear that you are facing a bit hard times with depression. But you seem to know what keeps you away from getting more depressed. Which is good and it is suggestable you keep using those methods. I will wait with excitement new works from you. Do not rush yourself even if it is important. But you know the best pace to work on them. ^.=.^
Good luck on your studies!
Keep up doing good work and I wish the best new year 2016 for you!
Oh wow, that is awesome! I can't wait for graduation myself, either. 1.5 years to go
Hoping to finalize the move IRL soon.
I'm sorry to hear you have depression... Have you considered talking to a doctor about getting a prescription? I'm on an SSRI (Lexapro) and it makes my life manageable.
Sincerely wish the best for you. :3
I am questioning however if I should ask about getting a formal diagnosis. I have not been diagnosed with any form of depression officially. But looking at the diagnosis itself, it sounds a lot like me.
