I have been dealing with depression and anxiety for years. It sucks. A lot. It's also confusing as hell. When I'm happy, I think about when I was sad and think, "Oh, well, maybe it wasn't so bad. Maybe I was just being dramatic. I need to just calm down." But then when my brain takes me to the dark places, it feels like it's never going to end. It feels like I'll never be happy again. I'll never accomplish anything. I turn into a useless mess. I feel bad for the people who have to be around me, yet, I so just want to be left alone.
I found myself in the dark place again recently and decided to document it. Art and photography are the only things that save me sometimes. They force me to get up and do something. Or to make something (hopefully) worth-while out of the deep dark hole my brain likes to drag me into.
