Description I just want to be lost for a while...



I'm back in psychiatric hospital, but hopefully for not too long. This one is a good one at least.
Just had a rough patch. I haven't needed the ward for 2 years, and I don't think this will be a long stay.
Thanks for your support though this time.

Feel free to interpret the painting how you feel, I'd love to hear your understanding of itΒ πŸ’™

Peace, Love and Alone Time,
Blue x

This reminds me a lot of the movie Inside Out. Good as it is, sometimes people push or rush those going through hard times to feel better. I feel there has to be a small period where you wish you be to yourself, just in a slump for awhile getting over your feels. Not too long, definitely get "found" and receive help eventually, but take some you time and be lost for awhile first you know? Joy had to realize Sadness was necessary to gain in the end, just as we all do. A good cry goes a long way.

This is beautiful! Your work has a very soulful quality, the colours are often vibrant, belying that the stories they convey are melancholy, even painful.Β

It reminds me of the end of The Titanic, though Rose was still wanting to be found after letting Jack sink into the deep forever....I hope you find the hour where you want to be found again, and that you're found by the right people...... I keep wondering if you'd be interested in reading a novel I wrote... It's about a teenage boy with a gloriously consuming imagination. His abusive father keeps him on the edges of depression, so he's spent a lot of time inside his head creating a whole world to escape to. But after falling in love with an imaginary girl and managing to lose her, he's forced to wonder if his safe haven is all that safe after all. And that's when he notices that another imaginary friend is proving to have had an independent mind of her own all along. With his sanity at stake, he's after the truth of who and/or what is infiltrating his mind and why. It's a real adventure through fantasy, the exposed human heart, and insanity, but also reality, as I actually based it off of my personal life story. Let me know if you'd be interested, as all I'd like in return is a couple thoughts of yours should you read it to the end. I luv U Miss Destiny, wish I could be there for you as the friend you need most. You're not alone.

When you hold your breath and close your eyes underwater, and all the sounds are muffled and if you listen you can hear your own heart beating. Β  That's what this reminds me of. Of floating endlessly, bobbing peacefully in the pull of the waves and nothing can harm me: not stress, anxiety, responsibility, or obligations. For thirty seconds the rest of the world fades away and I don't have to think. That's when I find peace, just before the rest of the world comes rushing back to me when I come up again.


Thank you Destiny Blue

What this painting means to me:
They all say "It will get better", even I say "It will all get better". However, it does not feel like it - its like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, that seems so so far away. There is the light, and yet I choose to stay in the dark - not wanting to come out of myΒ cocoon.

Thank you for this piece of art, its beautiful!

Maybe the girl in the ocean has depression and the search party are her friends and family. They tried to help her, but eventually just gave up, and let her sink further into her depression.

I followed you a couple of years ago. Your art never ceased to amaze me, or to show me that everyone goes through stuff. Your art is absoluteley divine- the coloring, the messages behind them, the layering, and how you always write in the description what you're going through at the time that helped to create that picture. I hope you continue to make art for many years to come, for I will always look forward to it.

I adore the coloring of this piece- the glow of the fisherman's light, the pink light reflecting off the person's body, the simple waves of underwater. I interpret this as optimistic (I'm an optimistic personn, so I prefer to think in that capacity). "Call off the search" because they found her. However, I hope she wants to be found.

Best wishes,
~Stella

I do hope that it isn't/wasn't a long stay (i'm pretty late to comment so I don't know that the update on your present situation is).


The sight of that Girl, in the fetal position, submerged and lost among those dark murky depths is a heartbreaking sight, even more so when I read the description and realise what've you've gone through recently.


On the one hand, I think Kallori makes a brilliant analogy regarding those searching for the lost girl pehaps being a beacon of hope. On the other, as the light is red (red often being a colour associated with agression + strain and in contrast to the heavily blue waters below) perhaps it's suggesting the girl is reluctant/doesn't want to return to the surface - emphasized further by the piece's title - as only pain is waiting for her up there. But that's just my interpretation.


There are no words (previous comments aside )...


We're all rooting for you Blue. Hang in there

This is really beautiful and very much hit home with me... In August I started my freshman year of college. In October I was hospitalized for the first time for self harm, what I might call a "suicide attempt-attempt"... and now I'm back home. I feel completely lost and adrift in life. Bobbing under the water, not knowing which was is up or down. People think that since they finally know I "have depression", they have found me and can call off the search. "You're medicated now, you're back to drawing and looking for a job and smiling, that means you're all better, right??"

I am not all better.

I am so, so lost.
