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 itΒ π
Peace, Love and Alone Time,
Blue x

I admit I was concerned about you, as you hadn't posted since the New York convention you were going to attend. I'm sorry you're back in hospital, and hope it won't be for long.
To me the woman is hiding, and doesn't want to be found. Sometimes pain can be smothering, and all you want is to be alone. (I speak from experience.)
Be well, Blue. Β
There are a lot of people who care about you, and will be here whenever you want to visit.

Sometimes a bit of time a part is good too,
It's good to hear you sought the help if you felt you needed it. Hope for a quick recovery and that when you come out you'll be doing better for a long time!

You have been improving a lot throughout the years, not just in your art, but in your mental and physical health. Hereβs to a stronger, happier, and more positive life!

Well, at first glance, I thought the man in the boat was saying "Call off the search," because he found what they were looking for (i. e. the woman), but then I read your artist's comment, so now I'm thinking it's someone who is drowning in despair and is in so deep, she does not want to feel the light of hope and just let herself be part of that despair.
...But as I was writing, and had a thought that it could be both: Someone drowning in despair does not want to be found, but she was found anyway, by someone who cares.

I see it as everyone needs some time to themselves.
If you're going through a rough moment, often a friend will reach out to you and say "Hey, you can vent to me, I'm here to listen if you need to talk." And sometimes, for some people, it's being alone that heals us the fastest. Just a little bit of time to yourself, to think things through, you know?
Stay strong, Blue, we love you <3

A beautiful, but sad piece. For me, I interpret this painting as someone trying to find a way out of their darkest situation and is turning to several people to help him/her out, but they don't help at all or don't help enough.Β
BTW, I'm so very, very, very sorry for what you are going through. Sending lots of prayers your way. Get well soon.Β

For me this kind of shows how at the worst of times people's closest friends and family maybe don't know how to help them. And even though someone wants help they don't know how to ask, and so they let themselves sink lower and lower, and it just becomes something everyone gets used to, to the point where nobody even knows something is wrong.
But that's just my interpretation.

Curiouser and curiouser..
It's always nice when people care enough to try to help.
And, it hurts so much when they make things worse, trying.
I'd like to think she's just letting the storm overhead blow itself out.
There have been times when the only peace I had was at the bottom of a pool, or tub. I miss it.
Take Care of yourself.Β
As my Welsh Grandma often said- somebody has to.

A very deep, emotional piece. I wish you a quick recovery from the tough times Blue.
This is how I felt seeing the piece...
Sometimes, when you struggle through times of despair, it feels like drowning, sinking in a cold, silent and dark ocean. But at the same time, you want to hide from people. You don't want people to find out something is wrong, even if it is a light they shine and they intend to save you, sometimes you feel like you should struggle alone, and not concern anyone while you go through that.
That's how I interpret the piece.Β

This is another one of those beautiful and powerful images of yours that touch the heart - however the mere thought of the emotions that must have gone into it's creation makes me wince. I whish you all the best and as you always say Peace, Love and all the time you need to feel better again!

The colors here are magnificent. I absolutely love the way the pink and blue contrast each other. The pink gives it a mystical, otherworldly feel.

Honestly, you are so strong and I could never hope to be half of you. Love you, Blue!
When I saw the painting, it reminded me of a couple years ago when mom had died. Once it had all sunk in(because I couldn't comprehend it within the first day. I had gone numb) I wanted the people to leave me alone. Let me discover what I feel. Don't tell me what to feel. Of course, I've grown out of it and accepted everything now.Β

Such a beautiful piece!
Don't worry about being lost for a while! We all need silence and time just for ourselves every now and then. It's heart warming to know there are people out there looking out for us, ready to reach their hand and help us in our time of need, but you know yourself when you're ready to rely on that help... When you are ready to face the transition from your deep waters to the prickling and crispy air. The dark waters do not mean the end... There's still life to be found, even all around you in the deeps. We just sometimes need some time to figure it out.

This one is beautiful...and so poignant. I'm not going to fill this comment with lengthy ramblings, and I'll simply say that I'd love this as a poster.

There is a beautiful Florence + the Machine song "Never Let Me Go", basically finding a hideout, a safe place, deep in the ocean. It's what I thought about when I saw this piece. I love the song because it's very comforting, not to mention what an amazing piece of poetry it is, and it used be very personal to me at some point. I really recommend it, as well as other FatM songs! They are all beautiful musically and lyrically, and they helped me a lot during my own dark days.
A thousand miles down to the sea bed,
I found the place to rest my head...

Keep fighting, love. Your art has helped me in so many ways. I hope something helps you in the same way

Your art is beautiful and deeply emotional, I think no one can view it and feel nothing. I hope you feel better soon, as a mental health sufferer too I know these moments can be really challeging.Β

We need to talk about mental healthWhether you are black, white, rich or poor, we all are susceptible to mental health issues, many tend to keep it to themselves, whilst others openly talk about it, it is a battle that sticks around and we may or may not know how to tackle the issue, but being open about these illnesses helps you to take a first step forward to combat the numb pain that forces you down to the floor.
According to W.H.O, 1 in 4 people suffer from some sort of mental illness, whether it is OCD or depression, a vast majority of us are in the same boat and you are not alone!, so I'm writing this journal to say, it's ok to seek help, suffering from this illness does not make you weak, in fact, you are an Ox, you have carried this around with you and you have lived with the weight of this for so long, so look up take any aid that is available.
It took a long time for me to accept I needed help for my depression until I talked to my doctor and asked what kind of treatment he could give me to take the edge off aΒ We feel you Blue x

been watching you post arts for a some time now and i love how your art just pops and has so much emotion to them, hope you get well soonΒ
some times you have to fall apart to but your self back together to see the colors that make you who you are and who you will become is allways changing, iv seen some people use art as a cry for help my self included and every one praised them for there deep emotional art and how it relates to them selfs and how it relats to them not to undermine any one but i hope you contine doing art as it is very beautiful and you have a wonderful mindΒ
(if i ever see you at a convention i want to buy all of youer art and put it all over my walls )Β

As someone who suffers from many mental issues/illnesses, I feel for you so much. I hope you are able to feel better soon. I very much feel your art on a deep level in a number of ways, honestly. I think this artwork is multi-faceted just like mental illness is (whatever the sort).
This reminds me of when I was younger. My parents had a swimming pool and I learned to swim very young so I was safe, but as a young person I remember going to the deep end, taking a deep breath and letting myself sink to the bottom and just sitting there as long as I could hold my breath. It was so peaceful. There was no sound underwater, and looking up, the world outside seemed temporarily almost in another place when I was down there. It was very peaceful and tranquil in that place.Β
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Be well and take care of yourself <3

So sad to hear you're back in hospital.
I was there, too, two years ago and could relate to everything you posted through these times.Β
Seems like from here we diverge
Get well fast <3

Is beautiful. Very real.
That's how I see the people, which for various reasons are just to closing themselves.
I'm not talking about you because I do not know you. However, I can keep my fingers crossed FOR YOU to get everything up. Β
I write this from the point of a someone who has such a close person and who sometimes just does not know how to help because it seems to me that the mere presence as a form of help is sometimes unfortunately very little. However that does not mean that I'm going to give up!!
(It just once such a person says that it's OK and then the next day is worse with her. I feel bad because I'm afraid that I'm bad friend. )
That's why I read your picture as me as that person on the boat. I hope this is it what I am for this person. Such a small reason not to give up.
It is so shame that she, being under water, does not see too much light and does not hear that someone is calling.
I know that it does not close in itself because it has a whim !!!!
Depression is a very serious matter.
I just hope that she will find the strength to float to the surface. The world is diverse. People can be mean and life is definitely not easy, but that does not mean that it is not beautiful.
A big hug for You!

Wow... This is how I feel sometimes. Just want to sit under the water in silence and ignore everything for a while.
Adult life produces a lot of useless noise which is hard to ignore.Β
Hope you'll find your way and feel better

This is so emotional, I can't tell you how often I could relate to this image. When there's help, a light right there in front of you and you know it, but it's like depression and anxiety have flooded so much that it's impossible to move... so you just float. Its a terrifying feeling, one that leaves scars. But when you do find that strength to reach your hand out of the water and help comes it's like you're invisible, you become alive again!
I'm praying that you find that strength, Blue, and just know that we're all here for you and cheering you on! Sending lots of love too! π

Got me thinking of Ariel from old Disney's 'The Little Mermaid' the moment I set eyes on this new upload.
