I've always loved writing and drawing creatively, and one of the things that being ill has taken from me is my ability to do these things. To begin with, depression took away most of the enjoyment from the things I liked to do, and on top of that I tend to be so self-critical it's impossible to enjoy anything creative anyway.

I hate that. I hate that things I used to find happiness in have been taken from me. So I've decided to make an effort to get back into these things - baby steps :) And to begin with here's a picture I did today - the first I've even been relatively pleased with in the last few months. It's nothing spectacular but I'm definitely pleased I've done it.
