Lonely in BC said:Hi Lena,
You're pretty down on yourself and not fully understanding your situation makes it kind of tough to give any kind of helpful response to you but I can make a couple of observations.
The way you're able to express yourself through writing is pretty impressive. Your story might not have got the approval you sought this time but maybe next time with some refinement? Have you thought of trying other venues to tell your story? I suggest not limiting yourself whether its venue or a self imposed timeline.
Musically you've got talent as well. I was listening to some of your tracks that you've created, I personally liked "Swate"- I later heard my daughter listening to some of your tracks and humming along with them. Hopefully you'll take it as the compliment its meant to be that you had a couple of people's attention and your efforts were appreciated.
We've all got issues. Some give into despair, others fight their way through them. Me personally, I've fought through them. Sometimes fighting means changing your circumstances- ridding yourself of people who bring you down, changing your living arrangements, looking at a a new career path, etc. I personally don't give any credence to a "pre-determined" mindset, life is going to be what you make of it. I'm not making light of your issues Lena, I do think that you need to find a way to cope with them.
As far as pills to fight depression- do you want to take something that can hinder your creativity and uniqueness? All of your current anger, frustration, and issues allows you to express yourself, do you want to dull that edge? How about setting smaller goals to find your happier place? It's a decision to give into frustration and anger- I've learned that through experience. I eventually chose not to be an angry, pissed off individual, when I made that decision everything changed for the better. There were many things I "sacrificed" to get to that better place but its been so worth it.
Find your path Lena, just don't let despair be that path.
