Are your stuggling with Depression?

[Shadowofdeath]

your comic is really cool also do you have any advice to get other artist to help out with my comic because i am looking for four artist to help with my comic bc it too much for me to draw 40 pages per episode alone by my self for my publisher each person only has to do 10 pages which is still a lot of work the deadline is December​ heres my redesign for my main character Jason i not sure which one i like better .

oh, thank u! actually I cant work on any other series if there's not money in between, sorry Black Wings and my fashion brand take a lot of time and I'm looking for a job too, so as you see... imposible
As for your Jason, for the design I think the second one looks better! It's cleaner and his hair and mask look very cool! I love the clothes on the first one tho, but the second looks better in general

[Shadowofdeath]

thanks for your insight i appreciate it

Hey man, that's badass. You conquered depression, that's not an easy thing. Respect. I struggle with PTSD from chronic physical and verbal abuse, so panic attacks are expected in my day to day life.

I feel that all of us in this thread have a lot in common. Be it novels or comics, stories are our safe place. We are the protagonists of our own lives, we aspire and inspire change through these media.

To y'all struggling out there: hang on. Life is a cycle. You'll fall, but that doesn't mean you can't go up. Situations may be bad now, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost. The wheel goes round and round...

I think I've rambled enough. @joshuabriceboxing that's a noble cause you're fighting for man. Keep it up.

yea, it's a big cocktail of problems not just depression. Including a very unstable life and 0 support system, I might be bipolar according to my therapist. I'm trying to get better, Joining group therapies and trying new hobbies. Making my comic helps with that and it seems to be the only thing that does tbh. But when I'm in a bad state I cant create which is just no good. I've tried meds but they either do nothing or give me mania so it's really scary trying meds if I'm just gonna shut down. :<

my story also tackles mental illness topics if I'm allowed to post it

Somedays I struggled with depression and social anxiety. But, reading and writing is really therapeutic for me. I'm still working on getting better, I try to think more positively. I'm doing fine from where I was a yr ago.

Definitely can relate, I've relapsed recently but I'm okay now. I'll be checking out your comic. <3

[Shadowofdeath]

i understand your fear when i went to the hospital i was afraid they would inject medicine into me and i would be stuck in the hospital forever because the doctors told me i had the most dangerous form of depression and that i could relapse at any time if i didn't take my medicine. All i want to do is give people hope with my comic.

my art really needs to improve but hopefully i can find an artist who is willing to help me with it to make it better

[Shadowofdeath]

if any body is feeling down please reach out to me your life matters to me

[samiluu]

no problem ^^ I'm happy if I could help

[Shadowofdeath]

thank you everyone for sharing don't lose hope we can all overcome our mental illnesses together

Also let me know if you are interested in helping me create the comic because I am looking for an art style similar to Sergio Cariello. I am little overwhelming doing this all by myself, i am exhausted. but i keep pushing forward bc i want to help you all that are hurting bc of your mental illness , i want to give you hope that you can be happy

[Shadowofdeath]

Last year and earlier this year, I suffered a lot with my emotions and depression. I dont want to go too much into it but stress from high school, the coronavirus, having lost 2 family members within a few weeks along with my step sister's miscarriage, my social life in high school basically disappearing upon lockdown and graduation, and my overuse of social media as not only an outlet for my artwork but the only place where I could talk with inspersion and online friends, and a stressful first semester college were the contributing factors to one of my worst years period. It got so bad that I actually considered offing myself 3 times. The only things that kept me going were my family, friends and my comic series. Thankfully I've managed to recover from (for the most part) from all of that and I don't think I'd be where I am now if I decided to end things a day after my 18th birthday.

Don't loose hope. Whatever you're going through, whatever inner demons you're combating, you cant let that consume and control you! There's always a sun behind those stormy clouds. There will always be a bright new day

I have bipolar disorder which comes with depressive episodes. Three years ago it was really bad but I was able to get the proper help for it thanks to therapy and medication so I'm doing a lot better now.

[Shadowofdeath]
