I don't see the point in living anymore. I can't.
I've called helplines but tonight it's just not helped.
I've spent way too much time in hospital over the years and nothings ever helped.
I just can't anymore

Hi @Faith-and-Hope
I’ve never heard of art journaling.
Are you sketching or painting?
In response to: Re: I just can't.
Faith-and-HopeSenior Contributor
It’s working with mixed media @strong ..... coating pages with matt medium to make them non-porous, then drawing on them with ink pens, highlighting with blending pens, and you can add paint or stamps .....
@The-red-centaur is artistic too.

@The-red-centaur @strong
I am copying this lady to learn how it’s done. If I don’t have the things she is using, I use what I have got ..... I made my own stencil for this with diamond shaped cut-outs, so mine is much stronger than hers colourwise ..... it doesn’t matter ..... it works for me.

@The-red-centaur
I am really pleased to hear that. You have done the right thing to ask for help, if that’s what you’re feeling.
@Faith-and-Hope you and @The-red-centaur both sound like talented artists, would love to see some of your work someday.
I hope your feeling safe now @The-red-centaur
