I am pretty open to draw whatever within reason. As far as my terms of service, it is as follows:

I know how it feels

Hello,

Situations like this can very uncomfortable and strange especially to the point where you have to reach out and ask for money. When I was at high school I was very involved with sports and activities. I was selected for one of the best football Academies in the world and I even got a chance to travel overseas to Australia. My chance of becoming a professional football player became larger and larger by the day. I got coached by players who played professional all over the world.

Things happen in life when you least expect them too. I was planning on heading out from school and drive with my bicycle out of the carpark. I never drove out of the carpark the way I expected. I fell of my bike onto my head on the concrete as I did not see a car coming around the corner. I fell flat out on my head and if I didn't have my helmet on I would not be here. I passed out around five times before I realised where I was (The Ambulance). I gained a severe concussion that affected me more mentally than physically. So I lost around 2 months of my life before the accident as I could not remember them anymore. I never really go them back either.

Things did not get easy from there too. I lost all my friends and my family did not realise how serious a concussion was. Mentally I became idle and I was kinda just half awake during the day being very drowsy. This affected my school, my grades and most importantly my football. I did not even make the 1st team of my school anymore and I barely made it in the last year. I needed exercise, I started eating less and I slept very rough at night.

Everything went so downhill to the point where taking my life was almost inevitable. I was stuck, I did not know where to go and who was there for me. So every lunch time at school I sat alone for very long. I started to make myself useful and I was like why not start some programming as I enjoyed fast thinking. I learned a new skill that I did not have before I was able to go through a 100 thoughts in less than a second. This made it very practical for me to learn programming and I picked it up within a month.

So why am I telling you this story, what is my sole purpose being here? I am not here to talk about myself and have people sorry for me. I am here to help so you know that you are not the only one who goes through this. I can bet that 80% of the people who look at this thread have issues mentally too and that is completely ok. I never took any medicine in my journey to feel right again.

So I am here to teach you and everyone who is looking at this thread some tips to have a better mentality towards their health and well-being.


1. The basics

Look after yourself. Play your life like the sims. If you are physically not great than 75% then you will be unhappy. You want that bar to be high. How can you solve this?

• Sleep well
• Eat well
• Do exercise

Yes this is all easier said than done but you will feel 100% when you do all these three things everyday. As a matter of fact many of us can't relate that they do this properly. I felt so much better when I started doing the basics. Trust me it is not easy todo, it takes some time don't be upset if you can't get a good routine immediately change it hard.


2. Cognitive behavioural therapy

You do not have to visit a therapist because you are the one who needs to be driven to make a change. They are not going todo it for you. There are these automatic thoughts that you have in your head. You will think the same every time your anxiety gets triggered. You should really look into what it really is because it will help you with:

• Realising what your negative automatic thoughts are.
• Tackling your automatic thoughts.
• Destroying your negative automatic thoughts

3. You are not alone

There are many people who go through the exact same thing as you. You may feel disconnected from the world so it is best to connect with others who are in the same rough journey. Join a social community where you know anxiety and depression persists. They will want to connect and actually listen to you. You can help them as much as they can help you. These people also understand what you are really going through because a lot of therapist are more specialised in the way a human behaves rather than what a human has actually experienced.


4. It takes time

You are not able to change instantly you are going to have to keep pushing through. It takes time and effort and you are the only one who can control your emotions. No one is going todo it for you. You got this buddy you will get there ok! Medication is something that you will have to thin down eventually. You can't be dependent on it forever. It is like a drug in the long run it will have no effect anymore and you will become very miserable. I did my whole journey without medicine so it is definitely something you can do too!

5. Conclusion

So after all these years I am now a healthy individual, I still have some minor anxieties but every human does some never go away. My life hasn't been turned upside down. I am now in the second year of a software development degree aiming to work for gaming companies. I have a lot of passion for making a difference and making people inspired by my work. There is many opportunities in my life and I have this amazing girlfriend who is there for me also which I am super thankful for.

I sincerely hope you are able to continue meds and supporting yourself baum, you're a great mod here and I don't think anyone here would really disagree (except maybe trolls..).

It is alright that you cant, not everyone can. Thought counts too. Do note I do not fully have to support myself. I am living with my parents but since there is no insurance we have to pay out of pocket for the meds, visits, etc.

thebaum64 - Hope you're okay. If you ever want to talk, let me know. I actually have a Discord community that is dedicated to mental illnesses, if you want to join, let me know.

Will you draw NSFW?

Depending on what it is

 

[thebaum64]

I see that you say you cannot work, but are offering services in return for money here..??

I can not get a physical job. I can still do these kinds of things.

 

[thebaum64]

Why not get a non physical job then like bring a cashier?

By physical I mean a job I go to, my anxiety and depression are not stable enough for them to hire me. Plus even if they did, I would have to call way to many days off that I would be fired. Same reason I have not been able to start college yet.

I'll have need for art like this in the future, so once I need to get my hands on art like this, you'll be my go-to. I wish you the best of luck with your situation, I know how horrible depression & anxiety can get. Just try and keep a positive mental attitude, and do what you need to do.

I should be reaching out within the next 2-3 weeks (so long as you're still selling), if not sooner.
Once again good luck man. :tup:
