Until past year, I was in a deep depression, I even had the idea of suicide (it was when everything came at once) and it affected me so my arms started to not fuction and have a tendonitis which wasn't physical, later I didn't even feel my arms at all. Fortunately, it just stayed as a thought, and I haven't had the idea of do that again, but this depression is with my since I was at school, around 10, since this 2015 it became less though from time to time it comes back. And I got to know how to recover my arms and now they are stronger than ever.
What helps me is to know the fact I'm not alone, that's a big plus to beat this, I'd say more stuff but those are things that comes with my believes and experiences.
but is not that difficult to beat, after the incident past year, these moments in which depression comes back it makes it less, so we can get stronger, other thing that helps me is to think that I've had worse things and I'm still here. And also not all the bad moments stay forever, and of course, we're never alone, always someone is watching and taking care of you.
I sometimes get like the anime charas who says "I'll do my best" to cheer myself when I'm feeling down and think in stuff like "why am I drawing my comic?" and I get energy and continue, in a way, my comic will have a part in which will have parts with my depression expressed in the main character, like my idea is if someone reads it and is with depression, to see like how the main character could beat all of that and become stronger so the reader can too, is like well an idea but hhh xD
