[Rant] Constant Mood Swings are Impossible to Deal With
7 years ago
General
Fucking Christ there are times I feel like ending my life and there are times when I know that is a stupid response.
I am right now in somewhat of a clear state, so I might as well say this: I really feel excluded now a days, and not from anyone but my own's actions.
I feel like I avoid so many people who I like because I feel like the worst possible person. I feel like I make everything about me and I feel like every time I try to calmly think my mind runs away with the worst possible thoughts.
I want to draw more but I hate any artwork I make and I feel like I am not going to get any better. This is a HUGE cause of my stress because I want to get better and do stuff to get better but nothing works.
I guess my biggest issue with this is Jealousy. I hate feeling jealous of other people's art, because I know the blood sweat and toil they put into it, and it deserves to be praised. No matter the subject, no matter the effort, no matter how good or bad, if you try on your art. But when I try, i feel like it just gets worse and worse. I hate being jealous...
My mind is absolutely crazy and I hate everything about it. I am sorry for ranting but christ I don't know how to vent and I don't know how to adapt.

As a minor fan of your ideas and antics around here, it may not be my place to say. But if I were to say anything in regards to what you have conveyed. You're not the only one in the world who feels that way, and its nothing to be ashamed about. The fact you can be introspective enough to realize that how you feel about these things is not the best or the healthiest shows a semblance of character and maturity on your part. That alone is something many people lack or downright ignore because its the harder thing to accept about oneself, that they may be flawed and need work. You are most definitely, not the worst, or even necessarily horrible, you're human, like all of us. You have strengths and weaknesses, perks and flaws, secrets and inner demons. Everyone else who seemingly talks to and wishes to interact with you sees something worthwhile.
You need to give yourself a break and realize that yes, you may not be as good as everyone else artistically, you may not be as mentally sound as everyone else if you feel these mood swings are a problem. But you are still you, and that is something no one else can copy, replicate, or do better than you. And your friends, the close ones that have probably stuck with you despite all this? They like you despite those negatives. if they can find it worthwhile to like you, surely, you can find a way to make peace with yourself about your desire for self-betterment and to overcome your fears of what seem to be self-doubt and self-loathing.
I don't know if any of this will help, but at the very least. I do hope you find some inner peace getting this off your mind so to speak.
