Hun, we're here for you. Vent as much as you need, draw whatever you need, you're not going to scare us off.

I know we haven't talked in a little bit, but if you need someone, my discord is always open

I know we haven't talked much, Luna. Something that comes to mind that might help, this is just a thought from something I'd heard, from the abuse in the past do you still see yourself as the young person you were then? If so, then try to remember that you've grown. A 5-10 year old you certainly does not have as much strength or experience as the person you are today. If those things come to haunt you still, maybe it can help to see yourself as you are today standing up for what happened in those memories, aged, more experienced.

With the little side, and bdsm, find those trustworthy that will keep it safe and relive that life, rebuild that childhood as it was meant to be. You are a valued human being. And besides the work you've put thru your hands, there are the people you've brought together. The face of Luna that represents a brand "Drunken Doodles". In the spotlight you're a beacon that not only sells themselves to the crowd, yet also sells the brands of your friends! All of those artists that participate they are there thru your actions and it sells because you put your heart and soul into it.

A struggling dreamer. Living a dream. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here. Thank you for the gifts you bring to the world.

Much love.

Luna, I'm so sorry to read that you're deeply haunted by the Gwyllgi right now. Your artwork is awesome, the piece you did for me is still one of my favourites. 🥰

*hugglesqueaks lots*

Please shoot me a PM if you'd be interested in talking to my partner as they've suffered much in the same way as you but they've been in therapy a lot longer than you (it seems). They're very kind, gentle and friendly, and I think they'll have a positive influence over your mental health. 🤗

Sadly, I'm in the group who can't afford to by art. If I could, I would, for all of the artists I'd love to be able to support beyond just my words, and thoughts, and prayers. Until such time as that's possible, I only hope that my well-wishing can help others.

When I was 30, I was finally diagnosed as autistic. Before then, it really wasn't something that the local medical or mental health community was really aware of. Before that, yeah, I was just seen as a weirdo. I also have clinical depression, social and generalized anxiety, insomnia, and migraines. I know how it can be to fall into a bad mental funk. I can never claim to know exactly how someone else feels, but I can at least hope that sharing what I also go through might help others find some strength.

same stuff here, hope you get better
