The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

post an image or poem or video or any other artistic piece, (giving credit to the artist), that helps you to express what you are feeling, going through, needing and so on regarding your experience with depressive disorders
I like to draw and yes, I draw vent art sometimes.
Here I have a little 'trilogy' of vent art I made during separate occasions.

Is it OK if we are the artist?
Thank you. I really appreciate it. My work is nowhere near as good as van Gogh's masterpieces but according to many on this site I really drive the message home in my drawings.
Agree! They really tell a deep journey of pain
What I portrayed was just the tip of the iceberg. Generally, I feel swindled out of a normal, healthy life because I lost the genetic lottery. I'm hoping that Heaven will make up for all the things I have missed out on.
The Holy Bible tells us we will have no more weeping, no more pain.
Maybe like Van Gogh, we are too beautiful for this world.
Yes, I have made signature pictures for two people on this site. I even got requests from users to make art. One was even willing to pay me a $20 Amazon gift card for a couple drawings. I turned down the payment and made the drawing anyways. God gave me this small talent and I'm going to use it to bring others joy.
It's really nice to experience that kind of attention for my work.

And, is all art fair game (e.g. physics, math, chemistry, etc.)?
I think this is an amazing thread for people with depression for many reasons. You are asking for our input, which means a lot for people who are depressed - that someone cares. You are compelling us to think about something else (positive, no less,) - which forces us to think beyond the depression. You are asking for artistic responses, which is one of the ways depressed people can express themselves in a positive way.
It seems as if the lamb is looking to the stronger lion, while the lion is looking to the Lord. It gives me a feeling of "is it time"? The lamb is feeling the lion the lion is feeling the Lord and they seem to be looking for His time drawing near. They all work in perfect unity together.Can you describe what you feel or sense when you look upon this art?
Why is it important to you?
