About Me:
I have found myself in a seemingly bottomless sadness since last fall. I have "managed" depression my whole life with the crutches of many addictions (drink, drugs, sex, anger, overwork, excessive exercise, delusions of grandeur etc.)
I have always wanted to hide my sadness because I saw it as proof I was
inadequate and unlovable (and also because I feared I could not survive
the pain of it).
I no longer am running away from the profound sadness I have felt all my life. Instead I feel it, every day, and strangely I have decided this is what I must do, — to honor it, to embrace it, and see if there is any bottom to it, because I don't want to die never knowing if I had faced it, once and for all, would there be something on the other side
About my Loss:
I lost my mother to alcoholism as a young child. I lost my eldest son 20 years ago. My whole life has been about loss, the fear of it or recovery from it.

    You are a great artist. I bet you express your feelings in your artwork. I too suffer from depression, it's a daily battle but blogging has definitely helped me and I only found out about blogging a year ago. Feel free to post your paintings here at this blog.
