Description
This. This. This and This again.Story of my life at the moment. Not because I don't want to talk, because I can't. Unfortunately some things you have to go through alone. My piece was also inspired by my situation, though things have got tougher recently. I am very lucky to have some very close friends I confide in though
I appreciate and am so thankful for them. Sorry I can't share more online...Its such at odds with my personality. I'm an eternal optimist. Anyone who knows me or has met me at a convention knows I love to laugh and it takes a lot to get me down, unfortunately this is. Well, its inspiration at least
One day I'll be able to tell everyone everything's not fine, but for now,
I'm fine.
Edit: Wow, never thought this would capture peoples imaginations like it did, it's almost a meme XD
Yes, I am the original artist, and no, I didn't copy anything else. I know there's loads like this around now but there certainly wasn't when I drew this in 2011!
(Though I'm sure I'm not the only person to have come up with an idea like this XD)I love that so many people have been inspired by this
If you use this as inspiration I'd love if you credited, that way I can put you in my special favorite folder: destinyblue.deviantart.com/fav…
On a personal note: The situation which is represented is (very thankfully) over. It was a really rough period of my life, which unfortunately triggered some mental health troubles, but the situation itself is as resolved as it'll ever be. I can stand today and know that I am a stronger and more compassionate person because of it.
Peace, love and post-it notes,
~Blue x

However, you don't know whether they are telling the truth or not. DestinyBlue posts a lot about mental health and her personal struggles, meaning her watchers feel that it is ok to open up about how they are feeling. If you see comments saying stuff like that, don't immediately dismiss them: that person may be going through a lot more than you think.

If they are using incorrect grammar, it is unlikely they are depressed.
Especially in this context

I hope you don't mind when I disagree with you on a few points. This deviation is very old and considering that this user is very populare I think its one of the pictures which started this "trend" also, its called "vent" art, at the time this person had depressions (As far as i am aware, they are good now). This artwork is also very old so I think it would help the artist more when you judge a newer work of them.
Sorry if I botherd you, have a nice day

Beautiful, I understand the feeling all to well. To hide your sadness behind a smile.

Hey little jerk, do you you have any idea what they go through on a daily basis? Do you know them? Have you ever spoken to them besides this?. I didn't think so. Why don't you get off of your high horse. Could you possibly think that they are trying to open up a bit about what they go through on a daily basis? Maybe there not able to at home because jerks like you exist. Go get lost you little brat, nobody gives a dang on what you think. This is a dang depression post, expect people to open up and talk about it.

Ok so I'm going to apologise for the gaint rant that I did. But like seriously it still stands, Think before you speak. :/

ook then,ill think before i speak

I am terribly sorry, but if the Art Piece entails that they are hiding behind their smile, and someone comments this is them all the time, it is unlikely in the first place they will be open to admit it, and perhaps was just feeling sad at that point in time.
Sometimes emotions can blind memories.
But this is just me saying maybe
Both ends could be wrong, both could be right
Who knows

Oh no it's ok, your allowed to speak your mind don't apologise!. I understand what you mean, I've mellowed out a bit since the comments 😂. I know people can simply be lying, but there is always a chance they aren't and I can't stand when people yell at them

Pfft says the person with the name Overload-Zorgon 😂. You don't know what they go through on a days basis Don't be so quickly to assume. It makes you look like a total jerk.

Honestly you could have just said "You don't know what they go through on a days basis Don't be so quickly to assume. It makes you look like a total jerk." Instead of making your self look like an ass with the retarded first statement you said. Also when there are people on DEVIANTART complaining about DEPRESSION you can bet your ass that i'll jump to conclusions and say it's hormones.

Ok sure I shouldn't have picked at your user name I'm sorry, I was a bit mad that you could be so crummy to a person like that. And yes there talking about depression ON a DEPRESSION post. It makes alot of sense people will talk about it. I mean some people genuinely can't talk about it at home and need to vent ya know?. It makes sense there complaining about depression on a depression post. But you could also be right, it could be hormones, ya never know. But in less you do for sure I don't recommend jumping on there case.
But I am sorry for messing with your username. I didn't mean to get you upset it was a joke.

I've never heard the term "Depression post" used in my life. And if the artist is truly Depressed (whether it's hormones, or because of another reason), they should, instead of drawing a picture grabbing the attention of more depressed and hormone induced people, consult a therapist or someone they trust. If people don't want to vent about it at home (Because i truly don't believe someone with access to a computer just CANT consult a family member) then why vent to strangers, on a website, with people like me, who has there suspicions about them trying to get attention, would that not makes things worse. And saying that if i'm not sure i shouldn't question it is silly and naive. For example if someone steals something and someone else suspects it's there uncle you're gonna jump on the case even if you don't know they're right for sure.
Leaving this to last i don't mind about the username thing I just think it's silly how people make fun of someone for a username just a string of letters.

Personally I draw vent art, it actually helps a crap ton, it's kinda like how some people write in a book ( I can't remember the what there called but you write your feelings in them) and pretty much it just gets your feelings out, it actually really helps people. Also "depression post" idk what to call it, it's not a actual term lol. sometimes all you have is a stranger. And some times it's alot easier to talk to a stranger then someone you love, because alot of time people feel like there letting their loved ones down. But I understand what you are saying.

Most of your points here are valid, the only flaw is that there shouldn't be a point where all you have is a stranger if you are living with luxury's (Aka computer). There are plenty of websites to look on, and assuming they have a phone there are plenty of numbers to help you. You could make the point that therapists and people on hotlines are still strangers but they're strangers who have proper qualifications in psychology n' such (assuming you're looking in the right place). I see what you're going with the vent art, but if it is bad enough then instead of spending i'd say 2-5 hours+ on a piece of art spend like 1-2 hours at a therapist and i would guarantee it would do more good then drawing vent art. However i suppose if it's not depression but you're just currently feeling down then vent art makes sense. Any way thanks for understanding after the somewhat rocky road.

Overlord-Zorgon How do you know? Do you know this person? Do you know the sort of things they have been through? Because if not then A: You cannot say that they aren't telling the truth, and B: You have no right to dismiss what may be very real to the person you are insulting.
You may think that's "too many things" for the one person to go through, but it's not. My own brother has been diagnosed with PTSD, Social anxiety disorder, social phobia disorder (not to be mixed up) and depression. He is also under assessment for autism. At first, I thought there was NO WAY one person had that much going on, but through him and the help he is getting I've met more and more people who struggle with so many various special needs and disorders. Including this adorable 5 year old boy who spent a full day showing me everything he enjoyed. He has been diagnosed with OCD, ADHD, autism, dyspraxia AND dyslexia. All of those things are very real and do affect his life and the way he communicates, even the way he walks as the dyspraxia affects his mobility.
I understand that it can be difficult to accept, but it's true, and it is not your place to dismiss or insult someone merely because without knowing this person, you don't believe that what they are saying is true. That is not their fault or problem, that is you being sceptical. Which, again, I understand perfectly, but sometimes it's safer and less harmful to people to accept what they are saying.
I hope that clears it up a bit

Yes i am going to be sceptical this person is telling people they have all these problems on deviantart. They're clearly begging for attention. I bet that girl i replyed to just 'Self Diagnosed' her self with them.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm not sure you understood my comment. What I meant was, I get it if you're sceptical, but also this is an art piece to do with mental illness by an artist who openly discusses their struggle with psychotic depression. So it makes sense that there are people here who are also sharing their experiences with mental illness. Also, sometimes it is better to accept what people are saying. For example in this case, you have no way of knowing whether this girl is self-diagnosed or not. So to avoid massively upsetting someone who is potentially mentally ill, it is far better to either A) choose to accept what they are saying, since (as I said) this is a piece about mental health so it is likely they are being truthful, or B) don't reply, just ignore them and move on. That way you don't risk tipping a mentally ill person over the edge, nor do you give that person any attention should they be lying.
I mean, even if you reply with hate you're still replying. That does still give the person attention, you know? So they still get what they want.

Thank-you for this comment and I 100% agree. Even tho there are a ton of attention-seekers (especially on the internet, where you can say whatever the heck you want), there are still people out there who deal with this stuff every day. And even the people who like their lives have bad days where they feel like they need to vent. ..Anyways: Not our place to judge.
