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
