That'd be very comforting. I suppose this is a difficult situation, there's so little to hold onto, nothing solid...

It is hugely difficult. It must be really, really painful to have to juggle everything at the same time. But, you do have your art, still. Right? You retain many of your memories, including those from happier, healthier times? You have your body. You have valued items collected over the years, and certain beliefs. Correct? Those are all part of you, in some way. Yeah? Maybe those things can be the hand you hold onto for stability?

It all gets overwhelming easily. I try to draw but have trouble. My memory's a void, maybe I should write things down. Days disappear in the blink of an eye and the past dissolves more each day. As for my body, the dissociation distorts it and it feels so foreign. Though I suppose it still exists and I can still control it mostly. But beliefs are very personal, indeed. Thanks for the help

Whatever I can do! Therapy, medication (both synthetic and more natural), diet, good relationships, etc. These can really make a difference! I'm happy your able to go more often, and I truly hope it improves things for you! At least you have a few things to hold on to, and, never forget, you still have all the art you've made. Even if you can't draw at the moment, you can still look at your own personal gallery of all the pieces you've accomplished: and people love your work, too! The struggles you go through because of all your illness and hardships is a part of the good coming from it, I think. At least, that's a part of how I comfort my self when it comes to my own problems. Perhaps you can use that as reassurance as well!

I do truly appreciate it. I've been on meds for some years now, they've caused complications, but been the only effective ones and give me composure. Though diet is a difficult thing, I have late-onset coeliac disease, which makes me really unhappy as I can barely eat anything anymore... Holding onto my art is something I hadn't thought of really, likely due to personally thinking it's never good enough [I presume that's common]. Though yeah, it is kind of solidified things I've done, that's an interesting viewpoint. Illness and such can indeed give inspiration, however I make vent art pretty often, I'm afraid that's not usually what people like. They tend to like my fan art better because of the characters in it. But I'll give your method a try to keep myself together, since it's something new. I'm sorry you go through tough things too, although it's nice to speak to someone who understands.

Hey, as long as your art makes you happy, whatever! As long as your're not trying to make art specifically so that a person or persons will like it, like when taking commissions or being an animator for a company, or some other art-related job, then that joy to be found in the art you make belongs to you. I'm sorry I haven't replied sooner, as well. I am doing a bit better (therapy and a shift is dietary supplements has been keeping me on track for the most part!), as I hope you are as well. If there's anything suffering can give a person, it is true understanding and inspiration. I must say, it is nice for me to talk with you abut and try to help you through these sorts of mental issues. It kinda give's me a sense of comradery, or community, perhaps? I've never had D.I.D or coeliac, but I definitely understand things like suicide, self-harm, and how mental illness can be so hard to admit or explain to those around; the hell it can be.
