My Bio
I am suffering from depression and have lost my creativity and drawing skills. Looking to be inspired and get it back. I really miss it, but every time I start to draw nothing happens! I don't feel the anticipatory joy of getting ready to create!

Not depressed?!

So here we are a little over a year later and I have learned so much.  After all the failed experiments with anti-depressants and thinking there would be no hope for getting a leg up on my depression...turns out it wasn't depression.  Granted I have plenty of traumatic events in my life that would make just about anybody depressed.  However, after multiple visits with my therapist and a psych evaluation it has been revealed I have Bipolar Disorder.  It was actually nice to remove the mystery part of why I felt so terrible and even worse on the various wrong meds I was taking.  Pretty much any anti-depressant caused me great anxiety, and my he

...and so the journey begins.  I have started going to therapy to start making headway in my battle against depression.  A couple of major losses I have experienced is my diminishing self-motivation, and apparent loss of creativity.  I recently went to the Denver Comic-con (WOW!) and got some very good advice on the matter.  So thank you Mr. J. Scott Campbell for pointing me in the direction of Deviant Art.  I am hoping that by immersing myself amongst all you talented deviants and all your wonderful works I will be inspired enough to get back into it.  I will say that one of the first things I did was to draw a picture depicting some painful

Thanks for the fav! :iconawwwplz:

Hiya! You, sir, are awesome! Thanks so much for the random point donation. :D :D Really means a lot to someone like me. xD And I'm glad I could be of service to you and your drawing endeavors! :D :D And really, you put my humility at risk when you praise my videos and work like that. xD xD If you ever have any requests or question, I'd be more than happy to lend a hand! (And sorry for the squiggly drawing, made it on campus away from my tablet xD ) Thanks again! :D
Thanks for the fave, Stephen!
For what it's worth, I can understand the depression - I lost my mom a year and half ago.

Something that helps me is an old quote:

"You are not your thoughts."

Good to know that thoughts, good and bad, may come and go, but we are something else - something they happen to, and thus superior to them. We can let them yank us around or simply watch them come and go like cars on a highway...

Anyway - thanks for selling me your tablet - let's see what I can do with it... :)
:wave: Thank you very much for adding Imaginarium to your faves :love:
