Description

With this drawing, I'd like to let you all in on what's currently going on.
After someone made an awful post about me in Artist United, a post that were nothing else but lies.
And seeing 30 comments about how I should quit art, how I'm an idiot and how I'm invalid as an artist.

A group of over 8500 people.
And this "friend" decided to twist and turn on what had really happened, so he could get attention.

I "came out" on my personal facebook as depressed after this.

After that "incident" where a friend painted me black so he could get attention, it got too much.
After 4 hours of crying, anxiety and panic attacks
I've had enough.

I am going to seek help for my mental health issues
I simply feel like it's gone to far
And I can no longer handle it on my own.

This is not something that has come out of the blue,
it has always been there, but I have always tried to hide it.
Always tried to fight on my own.

But I am simply too tired
And that's okay

It's okay to accept it all, and seek help.
I am not weak.

But as they say, we who works with caring for others (I work at a nursing home for elderly) we NEED help to take care of ourselves, since we give a huge part of ourselves to the people we care for.

This is my new big adventure, to defeat my demons.
And the first demon is the fear of seeking medical care for my mental state.

Wish me luck!
