Mental Health, Art (--) 

I'm so fucking emotionally tired.

I feel guilted into not pursuing mental healthcare because my partner is frequently extremely angry at their own. (But it's really not fair of me to ask them to bottle up those feelings.)

I've watched my art notably degrade over the past month and a half. Depression a main cause, but it's a horrible feedback loop of taking longer to make art I'm less happy with.

I wish sleep felt welcome and helpful.

notably there's a pile of other smaller problems, but like.... art is how I make money and I kinda need to make money since we live in a capitalist hellscape?

@Draekos *hugs* and support. It's all I have to give.

@Draekos
Have you looked into a service like Talkspace? Your mental health is important kos...

@Draekos >.< I don't know what to say about the guilt, but if you think you need it (and you certainly seem to), please, please go get help. >.< You can't even imagine how much progress you can make and how much better you can feel.
