Description
Today was the hardest day of the challenge by far, it was a very important and emotional day for me, when I finally gathered enough strength to get to work, the drawing I worked on for hours didn't turned at all like I wanted, leaving me feeling both angry and frustrated.Instead of fighting It I decided to take a deep breath count to ten and draw how I felt.
Every morning I go walking or try to, its the nicest part of my day, so I drew myself and my dog having our walk ruined by all the things I'am feeling right now, I drew this as a way of coping.
I feel slightly better right now, but I do rated go straight to bed and sleep for the next 1000 years.

This resonates with me as I also use painting to deal with stress and anxiety. My doctor was sceptical about it's benefits, but it has helped me deal with panic attacks. It is draining at the time but once it is on paper it is as if a load is lifted. The need to sleep afterwards is a natural result as getting all the emotion out is draining. I can see the anger and frustration in your painting and that is what makes kit so powerful. I'll have a better look at your gallery as you have some amazing work here.

I do the same, it does help quite a lot, I was lucky enough, my psychologist always encouraged me to keep creating as a way of coping.
Thank you for passing by, most of my pictures are meaningful, some more than others, some hurt, some bring joy to me and those around me, I think you will have quite the trip.

Does wonders, being sad turns you into somekind of vampire, so exposing yourself to the sun is a great way to end the curse (if you are a depressed vampire for reals you may want to ignore this advice).
Thank you.

I dunno, he just became part of my life when I moved to Mexico City, he was already a member of the apartment, and I became his caretaker/owner later on, but he looks like a Bernese Mountain Dog ( I just Google that), but smaller in size and with black fur, cool dude, Ill note you a picture.

Rocko, as in "Rocko's modern life" me and the previous caretaker were fans of the show.

They are, they will love you back no matter what, mine loves me, and it intrigues me, his ownership was forced upon me, for several years I took care of him but never thought of him as a friend, the day we became friends and I realized how much he liked me I felt both extremely happy and terrible.
Dogs, eh?, a toast to them.
