Well first I want to say that I absolutely admire and adore your art work! I also want to add that as an aspiring artist I look up to your work and use it as a goal for my own work to become as detailed and original. But I guess my question has nothing to do with art, and you may not be able to answer it I just thought it would be worth a shot to ask. Have you ever been so low on self esteem and worth that it affected everything you did and loved to do? If so how did you overcome it?

DISCLAIMER:  I am NOT a medical professional, I can only give small tips and share my own experience.

I’m not going to go too deep into it because if you look up “how to increase self esteem” you will find thousands of extremely useful websites about it, which I highly recommend perusing.  I’ll only tell you a couple of things that were particularly helpful to me for developing a healthy self esteem.

1) I worked hard to become better at things I was good at (and enjoyed doing).  Not just at things like drawing, but also at things that you wouldn’t necessarily think about when you hear the word “talent,” such as being a good listener, public speaking, teaching, animal care, volunteering for charities and service projects, etc.  These helped me to develop pride and confidence in myself.  

2) I started talking about myself and treating myself like a friend.  You wouldn’t tell your friend that they’re a worthless piece of crap, would you?  You would say stuff like, “It’s okay, everyone has hard days and you tried your best.” I’m not perfect at it, but I do try, and I think of myself more sympathetically ever since adopting that mindset. 

Okay, now for the most important part of my post (and the part that I’m worried might get ignored).  I can’t fix your problems but I can point you in the right direction. 

If you feel like this 24/7 and it is literally affecting your life, then YOU NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. 

If someone had a broken leg, would you expect them to just suck it up, keep walking and deal with it?  No, you would get them MEDICAL HELP. 

Mental illness is a PHYSICAL condition, just like any ailment.  It is NOT a character flaw.

Seeing a mental health professional is NOT shameful.  Would you be ashamed to be diabetic and require insulin to live?

Seeing a psychiatrist or a therapist is NOT an uncommon thing to do or need. 

Being prescribed medicine that will help your brain balance its signals and chemicals properly is NOT a weakness.  Would you consider it a weakness if someone needed medicine for their kidneys? 

Some people take such a critical view towards mental health because they do not understand it.  My own doctor said that if everyone saw a therapist then the world would be a happier place.  

If you’re an adult, get out the phonebook (do people still use phonebooks?? Well, use google then) and begin the process of making an appointment.

If you’re a minor, talk to your parent(s) or guardian about your struggles (click here for a helpful article about it).  In the (unlikely but still possible) event that they refuse or brush you off, a school counselor can help you get connected with these services.

(Does it sound like mental health is something I’m passionate about it?  Because it totally is.  You deserve to feel better.  Taking the first step might be the hardest part, but feeling like a balanced human being is worth it.)

“When I got my first cat, it changed me. There is something about holding a cat that makes your anger melt away. And if someone does something that upsets me—I have to remember my cat. I can’t keep my cat if I get into trouble.”

“I asked if Major Cabanaw had concerns for the safety of the cats. “Of course, we always want to ensure the safety of the cats, and the staff is great about keeping an eye out for them. But mostly, it’s the offenders keeping them safe. I have never once seen an offender kill his own cat. We screen them to be sure they have no history of animal abuse. But I’ll tell you this, there was a guy killed in here because he had spit soda pop onto someone else’s cat.””

Wow.
