1. My heart hurts for you

[LiberalLoner]

4. Thank you so much. 💙

[liberal N proud]

2. I hate bullies, no matter how or why

Bullying is so destructive. I truly hope you get you desire back and can put those people out of your life. Know, there is someone out there that will appreciate your art and talents.
Know you can always come here for comfort.

3. Thank you so much. I feel like I have a year's worth of tears inside me that don't want to come out.💙

5. Don't let the bastards win!

I get the no motivation. But great art comes from anger as well. Determine what you have the most of, and transform it into art. Don't give up.

6. Thank you so much! 💙. Maybe time passing will make things better. I don't even have any anger anymore, just

Sadness and hopelessness.

7. You have to take care of yourself. So that...

....you can care for others.

10. I'm just continuing to breathe. That's the best I can do right now.

8. Who is bullying you? N/T

9. I think the bullying is all done. It was my extended family, a couple of celebrities, and a very large

Group of people, who followed me all over the internet to bully me, sent me abusive emails, tried to scam me, sent me abusive texts, harassed me by phone.

It seems to have stopped now that I went no contact with my entire family of origin, but my sense of safety in the world is entirely gone, and it’s impossible for me to envision any scenario in which I will ever feel happiness again or ever feel I can have a friend again.

A number of them, including one person on DU, asked me for my art and when I sent it, ghosted me. A pattern of disrespecting me, using my generous nature against me to hurt me.

It broke my spirit entirely.

I no longer want to give anything to the world or make a positive difference.

I no longer want to let anyone close to me.

Each day I wake up and think, damn, I’m still alive.

11. No, no, no.

Please don't despair, happiness can be found In the little things in life: A great cup of coffee, finishing a really good book, a walk around the block...and there is always DU. Socialize with us.

[LiberalLoner]

12. Thank you. 💙

[LoisB]

13. ...and if you need me to punch a bully in the mouth, let me know. I would think anyone

bullying you because of your art is, no doubt, jealous of your talent.

[FuzzyRabbit]

14. Sounds to me like you are suffering from depression.

Please talk to your doctor right away. Depression is a medical condition, probably aggravated by the bullying you experienced.

Good luck to you!

[UpInArms]

15. I am so sorry

Just remember to breathe …

You are enough

[imaginary girl]

16. Do you have any pets?

If not, consider fostering one. The love of an animal is very healing!

[Polly Hennessey]

18. I have not seen your art but you were given a gift of creativity

don’t let anyone take it away from you.

[Keepthesoulalive]

19. You are special

You are a valued member of this community, we care about you . Try not to let mean spirited jealous people denigrate you and take away your joy. Is there someone you can talk to who can help you over this rough time? That cookie recipe is on my to bake list, hubby loves soft chocolate chip cookies.

20. this rather obviously belongs in the mental health/support forum. -(nt)-

Edit: and sorry for not being more helpful (as many posters have been so far). But - the post(s) are quite disturbing - and I'm really in no way qualified ... Other than to suggest real help. And hopefully from the proper places

[LiberalLoner]

21. Yes, you have a good point. I'm sorry. I will self delete.
