I& #39;m just gonna make a vent thread thing like I do every so often just so I can get stuff off my chest. I do these often for two reasons mainly. First reason is because I simply need to vent how I& #39;m feeling because I don& #39;t like bottling so much in. And the second reason is because
I like being real with all of you. My account is definitely not big in the slightest, but it& #39;s nice to have any number of people who support you and what you do. So thank you all so much for that. I know I say it so often, but I really appreciate it.

I& #39;ve been quite open about my
struggles with mental health and I& #39;ve been making some progress. It& #39;s not a leap of improvement, but even the baby steps count for something. I& #39;ve also been dealing with my insecurities a lot. One of them specifically relating to how I look. I had been ashamed for the way that I
looked for a long while, so eventually I started doing something about that. I had been exercising and doing all these things because I thought the way I looked and certain other things were unexceptable (even tho the way I looked was normal and certain things were a bit below
what they should have been). And then friends started noticing patterns and got worried about me. And I tried brushing those worries away because what I thought I was doing was perfectly normal and nothing was wrong (not gonna explicitly say what was going on because it& #39;s still
uncomfortable for me to truly and fully express out loud). And I eventually saw that what I was doing was wrong and dangerous. I didn& #39;t drag myself too far down into it. It& #39;s still a struggle to not act on the mentality I had before and the mental aspect of it has been absolute
hell. It& #39;s the worst I& #39;ve felt mentally and it& #39;s been so draining. It& #39;s insane how draining it is. But slowly, it& #39;s been getting better. I& #39;m starting to somewhat feel comfortable with what& #39;s normal and what I should be doing, but there are lots of times where I get so anxious and
focused in on it and those are when I get the most drained. And I think quarantine hasn& #39;t been helping with that much either. Trying to keep myself confined in one place for most of my time makes me feel incredibly anxious about how I look. A lot of thoughts of "What if after
this, I end up looking different." Whenever I& #39;m able to see and be around all my friends again, how different will I look and how will they think of me?" A lot of stuff like that.

But as time goes on, things get better and I& #39;ve been able to appreciate more things. My art, for
example, has been looking quite better and I& #39;ve been decently happy with the stuff I& #39;ve posted onto here as of late and I& #39;m so glad you guys are also enjoying it. Art has been my passion and even during the tough times where I start feeling uninspired and drained, doing art still
makes me feel so good and happy. I want to end this thread on a more positive note so I think that& #39;s all I have to say right now. Sorry if there are typos and this comes off as incoherent nonsense. I just wanted a way to "quickly" express and share my feelings. So keep on keeping
on and be happy with who you are
