We need to talk about mental health
3 min read
Whether you are black, white, rich or poor, we all are susceptible to mental health issues, many tend to keep it to themselves, whilst others openly talk about it, it is a battle that sticks around and we may or may not know how to tackle the issue, but being open about these illnesses helps you to take a first step forward to combat the numb pain that forces you down to the floor.
According to W.H.O, 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental illness, whether it is OCD or depression, a vast majority of us are in the same boat and you are not alone!, so I'm writing this journal to say, it's ok to seek help, suffering from this illness does not make you weak, in fact, you are an Ox, you have carried this around with you and you have lived with the weight of this for so long, so look up take any aid that is available.
It took a long time for me to accept I needed help for my depression until I talked to my doctor and asked what kind of treatment he could give me to take the edge off and he prescribed me some anti-depressants, it took some time for them to work, but it did eventually help me, no longer was I feeling numb and lost, I started to feel again, a new purpose in life, it is only recently that I have started to get back into art, you may or may not have noticed that the production of my work is directly linked to my mood, if there was lack of work uploaded, that meant I was suffering and unable to focus on what I used to love doing.
If you do suffer, please seek help, if you don't feel like taking anti-depressants, at least reach out to a stranger and spark a conversation and bond with them, having some sort of interaction can help you focus.
Nobody (who is well known on this site) is going through a bad patch at this moment, so Join me and others by showing that we care, we relate!
You can submit anything you like, as long as it's relevant to this issue to; www.deviantart.com/communityre…
remember to use the tag #WeFeelUBlue
Please check out this journal who goes more into detail about the Mental health movement

Holiday Break

My right elbow, fracture
Hi guys, just a quick journal about recent events, last week I took a tumble and fell on my side, which.. landed me in A&E on the lead-up to Christmas, have you ever tried to eat Christmas lunch with just one hand? (the weakest one at that D: ) opening gifts was particularly hard, but i'm not complaining.. I'm fortunate to spend it in warmth around those who are close to me.
So anyway.. as it stands, I cannot create art at this very moment and I'm waiting for the fracture clinic to give me a ring to arrange a day to take action on my elbow.. I was given a temporary sling to hold my arm in place so next week I may be in a cast.. can't wait -_- .
I hope you all had a great holiday & I hope you've been creative!, please post your recent art in the comment section, I'd love to see them!
