Art is better than suicide!

My last post was about creating a zine all about collecting joy, and then today I felt so depressed that I couldn't get suicide out of my mind. Don't panic! As the title suggests, I created art about it instead. I feel much better, and maybe now I can get some sleep. Egads!

OH Bill, my honey....
I know depression can be such torture...At least my medication helps me at present......

My son a few months ago was at rock bottom. His job had caught up with him and all the horrible sights and things he'd had to deal with.

He had treatment for a couple of months or so, a wonderful psychiatrist who gave him exercises to work through, to change the way he thought about things and it worked for him.

Mind you he'd had a different childhood!

I am so glad your art helps to get it out of your system a bit.

In your previous post, I think it's such a fantastic idea. if there's anything on my blog you think may be suitable, feel free to grab it.

Love and Hugs

I love the little doll in this. I might just have to make one.
I'm sorry you are depressed. I am too. I'm so grateful God gave us art as a way out.
