Heya everyone, I hope your New Year has been great so far ^^

The past few weeks have been very hard for me. I've had nonstop dentist appointments (had an oral surgery yesterday), rocky relationships with some of my closest friends, had to put my very last pet rat to sleep, and have been having the hardest time with my depression. It's been a chore to even hold my tablet pen, or even write something. It's been so hard to be creatively drained, especially after coming into the new year feeling great and excited about my art. I'm only now finally starting to be able to work again (people expecting sketches from me, they will come soon!), but I'm not sure what to do in situations like this where I find myself completely unable to draw for two to three week periods.

I'm financially dependent on my art, so when this happens I'm just completely broke for such long periods of time. Does anyone have any tips about pushing through depressive episodes? I just feel so hopeless sometimes ;~;
