I have been terrible about updating my journal entry once a month. I think my last one was back in February. Since my last emo entry, I have come quite a ways psychologically and emotionally. I think I have surpassed the peak of my depression and anxiety. I am no longer on happy pills, I go to work everyday, I am able to sleep again, and I was able to finish a drawing. So things are starting to look normal again-- about 85%'ish.

Anyhow, I have been a hermit doing completely nothing for the last 3-4 months. I started going out more with friends and family this month and I feel good. So hopefully I can be more productive and creative now that I feel much better. I do have a huge commitment to my next drawing. I have only worked with drawing water twice and they were minor parts of the drawings. I have always wanted to do a piece with water, but have always been too intimidated. I am finally going to overcome that fear and try my best to render flowing water. It's kind of ironic because I have a drowning phobia. I may not be able to conquer it in real life, but I'll be damned if I don't conquer it on paper.

I hope everyone is doing well. I will keep this entry short and sweet. Take care and talk to you later!

"...ironic because I have a drowning phobia..."
I'm glad you can... I, on the other hand, refuse to draw my phobia... horses.

Awesome to hear that you are 85% functional after x-amount of months.  I'm getting worse... no happy pills, insane amount of stress, no time for creativity, but overwhelmed with ideas.

Do you have an onslaught of ideas, or had that been hampered?  Wasn't sure if depression/anxiety only gave you the i-dont-give-a-fricks or if it also took away ideas.

Glad to see you up-and-about. :)
