Description

Sometimes it can be easy to fall into the dark thoughts in your mind, especially if you are suffering from anxiety or depression... but when you calm down a little and take a breath, when you are able to stop shaking just a little, take that moment of ease to look for the light that holds you together. Memories, an object, future things to look forward to - anything at all that will remind you that you are here and you are ok. You are ok to feel this way, you should not punish yourself for it... breath and feel the air come all throughout your body. Ground yourself and grasp at the things that keep you feeling safe. It won't cure you, but after a moment, a few moments, a few minutes, you'll feel a little more control come back to you... 

It can get very claustrophobic very quickly for me when I suffer with my anxiety attacks, that horrible, almost panicky feeling is the worst of it for me. It can come on very quickly and sometimes without warning, sometimes even without me knowing why. But in that moment of what felt like complete loss of control I was able finish this - a quick piece to vent and also remind myself that there are amazing things to look forward to... it doesn't make me less anxious, but it does help me to ground myself and at least stop myself from freaking out all over the place when I'm on my own.

Featuring Tabby this time, my Nord/Bosmer gal from Skyrim.

Aw hehe you are sweet, thank you~

I admit I am relatively happy with how I draw hands - they aren't perfect but I feel like I do them well enough. Though I feel like that is probably due to my obsessive practising when I was younger ahah~
