Depression strikes again

Depression is here again. But this time with a reason. I overheard a conversation I wish I never did. It just changed my life and the way I see the world. The worst part is that I can't say what I heard. I must keep the secret and it's so consuming, pretending everything is fine when it's not. I was so upset that I couldn't paint, I just filled my journal with dark pages until yesterday. Yesterday I didn't paint the pages black, I painted them gray. That's how I feel. Gray. Not red with fury, Nor black with anger. Just gray. Like if I were empty. I tried to paint and this painting is all I managed to make. It depicts me just as I am now. I hope to get through this soon. But I know that the part of me that is empty will never fill again.

Chin up! Maybe a reminder that your work brings many smiles to many people will cheer you.

Oh my. I'm so sorry that happened to you. Words can do so much harm. I hope somehow it can be straightened out and that you will feel your joy again. I love your paintings so much and I don't want anyone to hurt you.

I can identify with what you wrote - that feeling of grayness everywhere. I am sorry you overheard something so upsetting, and sorry, too, that you can't talk freely to someone you trust about it. Art and life will win out over the depression sooner or later, but in the meantime, my sympathies to you.

Dont take other peoples 'stuff' personally. It is theirs and has nothing to do with you. ever. Dont allow it to affect you. dont indulge it. cause none of it is true! even people that say or do things purposely to hurt you - it just shows how wounded thEy are, not you. you are perfect. you are FABULOUS.
