Description
I just want to be lost for a while...I'm back in psychiatric hospital, but hopefully for not too long. This one is a good one at least.
Just had a rough patch. I haven't needed the ward for 2 years, and I don't think this will be a long stay.
Thanks for your support though this time.
Feel free to interpret the painting how you feel, I'd love to hear your understanding of it 💙
Peace, Love and Alone Time,
Blue x

P.S. Reminds me of when I just want people to leave me alone and don't hassle me about their lives and business.

Beautiful painting! God Bless, Protect, Heal and Show you The Way. Sending lots and lots of Loving Embraces and Healing Prayers and Light your way Sweet Beautiful Destiny <3 <3 <3 i see the painting as you hiding from those who hurt you and wanting to find you, yet you hide in deep water (not easy), waiting patiently and in loneliness for God's Loving Arms/The True Light of God and future LifePartner (Spouse) to find and save you? if this sounds way off or this comment or any others' comments distress you in any way, please feel free to delete it at your convenience. When we surrender to God's Will and Love ourself profoundly, unconditioned of how others viewed/view or treated/treat us, we allow The Loving Arms of God/our Higher Self that Loves Us Profoundly and Unconditionally, to Embrace and Console us in our times of need. i am so sorry you are going thru so much. Mahshahlah and Bahricalah in your Beauty, Strength, Resilience and Positive Attitude. Bravo Destiny!

It's what my depression feels/felt like: people looking for ways to help, to understand, and ultimately not succeeding. They were doing their best, but I was lost below the surface, and at some point one has to decide to stop searching.

I felt really sad when I saw this! And I got a bit worried about you. "Call off the search" when the female in the water is so close to being found! And the search party just gave up! But then I saw the description underneath and it didn't feel so heart crushing.
Congrats on not needing the ward for two years. That's impressive!
I'll send some prayers your way, Blue. <3

I'm no philosophist, but it seems to me to convey a sense of solace in an otherwise turbulent world. The people on the boat might be the ones to bring the ocean girl out of her own void, possibly as a beacon of hope

Beautiful piece !
Your style/skills is so great !
I can't give you an interpretation to this drawing because the message is so clear, there is no place for interpretation, this is my point of view !
I like very much this one because he make me think to "yin and yang symbol" not with the bright and the dark on either side but with the cold and the warm from down to up ... i think it's the ondulate from the wave at the surface who give me this impression...
There is a lot of different people who can help us to find where is the problem and what is wrong with ourselves, and we need them clearly, but there is only one person who can act for the change, for his lifestyle improvement ... oneself ... in person ...
As we say in HipHop culture :
strength and courage for the future of the events (your future) and May peace accompany you along the path you will follow

Interpretation:
Yes, i'm not feeling well. No, i don't want any help with that, so keep your distance ... but don't go away.
Personal message:
Best wishes for your stay. Seems to me, you're getting better. Hope this community is part of what helped you with that.

Stay strong and remember that there's always sunshine after the storm.
Always remember that there are many people who care about you: Friends, family, and maybe even a few people here on deviantart.
Six months ago I had a little sister. She felt she was alone. The depression was very hard on her. She was loved by many but for some reason she didn't see it herself. It pains me to know that there are still so many people who grieve for her and would do anything to see her smile again.
Never lose hope. There's always people who you can call at any time of the day.
Now believe me when I say it that life is really worth it and you are loved by many.

I’m wishing you strength, love and happiness!
Whenever someone was having a hard time or was going to face something in life (be it exams, a journey, sickness) my late grandmother used to say “I’ll light a candle for you”.
This little guiding light was her way of showing her support, that she was thinking of you.
Here’s my little candle for you.

Hmmm...
1) Doesn't the water + light look like angelic wings? So much so if the person (!) under water stretched out, hands outward, legs together plus straight downward, the glowing water would be like her wings.
2) Call of the search and yet there is light. Ever been in a situation where you were dead tired and your eyes were totally zonked out and fried and yet still you could watch some flick on youtube? Where did the power to watch come from?
~~~> From within and without. Strangely enough, light seems to works that way.
3) Please hang in there . . . ____/!\____

This is what I see when I look at this work. Years ago I wrote this, it is as true for me now, as it was then. “Society is a riot of color, in the dark all is gray. Only in the dark do we see and feel what we are. Only in the dark do we breed our desires without fear. Only in the dark do the edges mater. Society attempts to force conformity with light and noise. Here in the dark there is freedom from pain and for pain.” I seek the wilderness often for a different complexity. Nature’s complexity makes more sense to me.
In this work I see that man’s works are more transient on the sea. In its embrace there is peace and freedom to find ourselves, to re-balance my life. The sea is dark and it teams with life. I have always found peace on and in the water. I dive. The world of man… Now more than ever is a place I steer clear of as I can.
Please rest as you can…. It is through your art that people all over the world fine things that draw them and hopefully provide them with ways to look inside themselves to better understand there interactions with the world.

Very nice. I feel like I just want to be lost often... it helps to get away from everything sometimes. Glad you are finding some space to find what you need.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well, considering ^^ Get well soon, though!
This is a beautiful depiction. I imagine the surface world is real life, and she's planning to stay away from it for a while, retracting into her own mind. Incidentally, when I meditate, I often begin by envisioning myself sinking down into an immense deep dark ocean where everything is still and silent and I don't need to focus on anything, so this resonates with me ^^

With nurture and nature, the perfect combination brewed such that I formed BPD. I would hide behind my ideals hoping that in my social life, I would find meaningful interactions with people. I seldom did and what I did find, I was too ready to abandon. I was sardonically gleeful to think of the world as a soulless beast where those that resided (myself included) in it actively chose to ignore the impending doom of themselves and others as the chased their petty pursuits. This perspective is not absolute, as I now see.
What I have found is that the one submerged, must muster the incredible strength, hope, and/or desperation to stick their arm out of that water. That is to not say the submerged doesn't have strength if they don't do this as it requires great strength to stay submerged, but they must do so to the right individual. For me, once I discovered what ailed me, I had to rail against my being of 25 years and stick my arm out of the water. A therapy center clasped my hand, and they soon led me gently to a proper therapist whom then took my hand in their stead. I don't speak as once with undeniable truth. This is all recent, but this is what I am taking away from my experience.
Of course there is a time to stay hidden and be small. It is a precarious balance of being able to recognize what is needed; should I stay hidden or reach out. I haven't figured it out yet.

"Some people are doing way worse than you, and they don't complain !"
"Can't you just be normal ?"
"You should be over it by now !"
"You just want attention !"
"I don't believe you can be sad over this, it's not even a problem !"
Sometimes reaching out to people and trying to explain them about my pain makes me even more sad, because of their reactions 
Anyway, wonderful painting

trying to be that light for when my mentally ill siblings choose to look up
but my light i cannot see. a few glimmers here and there. but maybe that's just the moon reflecting? i guess ill just go on searching for people that i can help instead, at least that keeps me busy (until im in bed and try to sleep)

"The surface of the water betrays the nature of the surf, its calm layer not truely conveying the conflicting currents; each way pulling an indecisive ocean while we lay adrift just beneath the peaceful Notions of the surface the light of others twisting in the crashing and contortions of rushing water.
You are there, so close and may even be within reach but the den of the sirens is where i am currently home and there lies an embrace of cold affection i find for myself, do not leave but do not wretch me from my cradle of deep blue, i will join you all once the surface and still water beckon me home"

Sorry got a little lost in there x.x this is just incredible and tells a story without words, your work never ceases to amaze, i'm happy to have heard you were getting the support in time of need, you don't need me to tell you that many of us will continue to be right here for you with each our own hand and light to offer in the dark and with a stumble
Pretty sure my interpretation is not so much out there as confusing

The gods know I have days like that where I have a private little stress meltdown. Where I just want to roll up in a ball and try to make it all go away for a while (It never does).

Someone kind has lit a light, to call you free. Very much a good inspiration for my #be_a_beacon hashtag on Twitter and Facebook. We've got to be lights in the dark world we live in because many need that gentle light, and guiding warmth. You are suffering, and I wish so much I could wave hands and take that away. I can't.
Can't do it for myself either, nor can I do it for others--but I can show others that those of us who've been there, remember, those of us who suffer mental illness, we've been in that darkness and needed a light. Now, I can be a tiny light for others, be kind. I can be a beacon, showing the light of hope, and what little strength I've managed to fight for keeping it aloft for others. We're in this world together, ill or not. We know its pains. We share its suffering. But we can be a comfort to one another, and bring that light forward. Not even talking about religion or the like. Just being kind, gentle, helpful, human beings and we ignite.

My sweet, dear wife has felt this way at times, and needed the ward the same way. I hope you have a great, helpful stay, and good people there!
