Hey Jess,

Wow that’s tough. I read your story and registered at tiny buddha just to reach out to you. Please know that you’re worth all the best of life, just like anybody else. You hang on girl! You have your talent, not only to bring you money, but also as a wonderful means to express your feelings, to make it all clear to yourself and others. Imagine being in this shit and not having any way to let it out of your system! Force yourself to draw without frustration, without expectations, just drawing. It’ll help.

But also, I’m afraid you’re in too deep for yourself or anyone at the forum or even internet to pull you out of your depression. I urge you to seek for professional help. Don’t know your situation and possibilities, but there must be some way to reach a doctor or therapist. The person that prescribed your medication? Hope you didn’t stop them at once, may be dangerous and cause huge ups and downs (mostly the last, I guess..).

Writing here to share your story was a good thing Jess, to know you’re not alone. It’s a great start to realize the size of your problem. Now please take the next step. You can do it, just like we all can. And you are so worth it. With your talents, imagine the amount of support you can give to others once you’re through. Keep that in mind. Hope to see your post soon, about the path you chose. Will you follow up?

Love, Anna
