Description Every so often I'll do some provocative art but I never share them. This one I'm going to share. Artist statement: "If you have ever suffering from any sort of depression or anxiety, be it short term, long term or chronic, you will get this. You have experienced the draining effect it can leave you with. It can leave you feeling cold and alone. Kicked out in the rain while the rest of the world is inside happy and joyful. Words are just that. Words. Those words with meaning from loved ones seem to go down the drain while those with "intent" that you might hear from others such as "You'll get over it" or 'just smile" builds a wall that goes higher and higher that no one can shatter. They are careless and thoughtless. Like the words with love behind them going down the drain, so is this girl's soul, you can see the life draining from her shadow and body, hitting critical levels. The light in her eyes growing duller.

Mental health is a real issue, it's a real struggle, especially for me. Anxiety prevents me from learning to drive and I don't leave the house. I'm not putting a mature theme on this and I'm not gonna a sugar coat it.  This is how it is and it needs to be talked about more.

This goes without saying. do not use without my permission, and do not copy or trace.

This is very profound...and true!  I don't know about the depression, but I have anxiety, and it is VERY draining.  I almost didn't learn to drive because of the anxiety too, (failed the first driving class, had to have help from my parents and a learners permit to help me through the second driving class (which was different than the one the school offered (aka a private one))), and I still don't enjoy driving.  I don't even have a car, and haven't actually driven in years. (I travel by bus.)  And no one will be able to even get me NEAR the freeway if I AM driving.


Anyway...some of those quotes in that 'wall'...wow.  Just...wow.  I'm guessing that's from personal experience?   Hard to believe people would actually SAY those things to someone.
