Recently I decided I want to illustrate my personal frustrations and voice my suicidal ideation and experience with dark thoughts. When I began, I thought I might share them with my friends but got the courage to share them with everyone that I knew. When other people saw the work, they connected with the stories from their viewpoint.
Talking about suicide and people's experience is very important. I want to continue creating my images to hopefully be able to help and reach out to others struggling with dark and suicidal thoughts. If you're interested, you can find the whole project on Facebook. I hope you enjoy it.

Many Days I Feel Like I'm Just Watching Everyone Else Go By
Getting Up Is The Hardest
So I Spend A Lot Of My Energy Hiding My True Feelings
It's A Struggle To Get Out Of This Thinking
And The Fog Just Takes Over So I Can't See At All
I Just Deal With The Bizarre Ways They Make Themselves Feel Like They're Doing Something To 'Help'
If I'm Doing Ok.... I'm Sure To Be Reminded That I'm Actually Not
And Don't Get To Close. If You Do, I'll End Up Pushing You Away
So I Feel A Bit Stuck In My Own Thoughts
When I Have Braved People To Talk, I Realise There Isn't A Lot Of Point To It
People Meaning Well Hurt Me More Than They Could Ever Imagine
If I Don't Hide My Feelings, I Have This Magical Gift Of Draining Everyone Around Me
You won't drain people if you show your feelings, trust me. I know it's hard but talking to people helps, and one of your friends or family might actually be going though the same stuff as you and might be able to tell you ways they deal with it :).
The World Moves Without Noticing Me
yes. I, too, feel like a useless speck on earth with no use whatsoever
I Reach Out For Help But No One Really Has Interest Or Time
They Really Have A Way Of Making Me Do What They Want
Sometimes I Just Can't Stop What's Going To Happen
@Foxxy I am so disappointed in your words and hate. Certainly not the person I thought you were.
It's Just A Mess...
That was some heavy stuff. Trust me, you're not the only one who feels that way (even if it often feels that you are)
Painfully accurate, recognized a lot of my ex in this. Tried to help her for many years, she still managed to push me away in the end though.
Thankyou :0]. It is a shame about your ex. Depression is cruel in how. Isolating it is. Hopefully she find her way... You're a good sort for trying to help her. :0]

I know I have talked a lot on this thread. It is because I live with depression and I want to share what has helped me. I see it as a life time disease. Kind of like diabetes, or asthma. ( I have asthma) 1--We need to learn several strategies, 2--Monitor conditions constantly, 3--Protect ourselves from toxic situations /people. 4-- Know our personal warning signs. 5 --Recognise how far we have come. 6--Find good professionals who know what they are doing and are a good fit with us.
1-- have an emergency plan. Those do not go in that order, you will have to personalise it and put them in order that works for you. Or just dump the lot and move on to YOUR way of coping.
