Some months ago, I started drawing my thoughts as an person struggling with generalized anxiety, panic attacks and depression.

I started these drawings because I'm really bad at explaining what's inside my head, and explaining by drawing has always been a lot easier for me.

    Oh good grief! I hate it when people say "it's all in your head". First of all you don't know s**t about what I'm feeling or what truly goes on with me so you have no right to say that. Second, no s**t it's in my head! That's where the brain is! So that's where mental illness resides.

    I fall apart outside too, but it's only in my head, so nobody ever sees it. :-\

    Guilt is the hardest to get out of your head. Then you spiral further into depression b/c you're thinking you've messed things up even more.

    I also think sometimes that I've been given anxiety and depression by my parents through genes. They are too naive to acknowledge they suffer from these two problems!

    And when someone is on a all time low , no matter how many times you tell them that they are not a burden and they are loved very much . They still don't think they are

    When you are in depression, no matter what people say to you, their words never help. Actually after listen to them, sometimes you feel worse.

    Find ONE good sincere person.... someone who is true.... and has your best interest at heart... and have faith in that person's advise.

    ...someone who is true, has your best interests at heart, isn't dogmatic about how people should be, AND know enough about the subject of depression and mental illnesses to advise you about the options and resources that are available and will address your specific niche of depression.

    It is hard. I know I don't have a right to complain when I'm not the one struggling with these things, but it hurts to see friends sinking into darkness. And not being able to do anything about it. I'm sorry.

    I always hated those questions. I know they don't mean to do harm, but it just pushes me right into the dark mode again if a million people come up to me and ask me how I am - and I am not supposed to tell because no one is interested anyhow and it would take too long, so I just say fine, although I am not fine. Furthermore questions like these make me wondering about IF I AM fine or not and you can bet, THEN I am not anymore because suddenly I remember ALL the things why I should definitely not be fine. Also, they make you feel weird. Just acknowledge that I am there, be happy for god's sake don't be surprised (or at least don't show) if I show up. It just makes me want to turn around and go.
