Original works of art created to help cope with depression

r/DepressionArt

Expressing creativity through art of any kind can have an incredible effect on the way we feel. *Please share your art*, whatever it may be! **Don't be shy!** I would love for this to be a place we can share and express ourselves to each other in this unique way :)

Welcome to this new and hopefully soon-to-be populated sub!

This is a place for members of the r/depression community to share and talk about our art of any kind!

Personally, artistic expression not only gets me through each day, it serves as a positive force that has the power to completely overtake my depression at times, even if just for a moment. Sharing my art with others (in my case music) is the one way I feel I can always communicate what I'm thinking or feeling to others.

I'd like for this to be a forum to discuss each others' art so Original Works (by you) and Artistic Covers (also by you) only, please! Art can be any form of creative expression, but here's what I had in mind:

Visual Art (illustration, painting, graphic design, sculpture, etc.)
Performance Art (music, dance, theatre, etc.)
Literature (short stories, essays, narratives, poetry, etc.)
Photography
Film

This is meant to be a positive and caring environment in the same vein as r/depression. So PLEASE, don't be rude, discouraging, or hurtful.
