Hey, s’up? I have chronic depression and c-PTSD and, given that this is a friendly and constructive space, I thought I’d reach out to #artists and #photographers who have been diagnosed with similar
I’m really interested in how my conditions impact upon my work, both positively and negatively and would like to know others’ experiences. You might not want to discuss this publicly so do feel free to dm me

I suffer with depression, and at it’s worst it can suck any desire to create from me. On the road in and out it can provide different view points which I’ve come to appreciate. And in the good times I create things which make ME happy/proud so I present my future self with evidence that things will get better. The bit about creating for myself and not necessarily others was a bit of a revelation - one I wish I’d had sooner.
