So, my cutie mark is something survival based.
Things have been really bad for the past couple of months. Severe depression/suicidal ideation bad. However, my roommate and I are facing some financial difficulties due to theft, and BAM, it's as if everything has taken a backseat and I'm in Determination mode, figuring out how to do everything and keep him from freaking out. It was the same thing, when he was terribly depressed and angry for a few months after his last girlfriend did something horrid. My own mental issues ceased to matter until he started smiling again.
So...I was worried about being talentless and inferior, but at least I have the ability to become strong when I need to in order to be there for the people that need me and deal with difficult situations. It's not nothing.
It's a start. Not back to writing yet, but I can try.
That's great. It's a really admirable trait that you could put others before yourself. Good on you. Maybe I don't know you well enough to make a solid judgment about you, but to me it sounds like you'd be an awesome person to have as a friend. We all have our ups and downs in life and sometimes it's up to those who are close to us to get us back on our feet and get us moving once again. I for one really enjoy your writing, so whenever you want to go back to it, I'll welcome you and it with a smile. Best of luck with you and your roommates problems! I hope it all turns out for the better.
I'm glad to hear it Papillion. You keep surviving, and you try to get yourself happy, in the end, that's all that matters.
And you definitely aren't talentless, or inferior. I know it can be hard to believe it sometimes, but I'm telling you anwyay.
Good luck, and don't sweat about the writing, we'll all still be here and nobody will think less of you. Nobody.
Stay safe out there.

I really hope you and your roommate are doing alright. I just recently had to move in with some friends due to being betrayed and robbed by my roommate, and while I'm pretty used to such bad fortunes, it still hurts.
At least you seem to have a good friend that wakes you up in that "They need me to be strong, I don't want them to hurt." sort of thing in your life. Having someone to care for and care back is the only thing that really matters. Material stuff (and I've gone through a lot of that over the years and now most recently my PC, Laptop, and smart phone), as long as you keep what really matters close to you, you'll pull through.
I only wish I could offer something to help you two through whatever crisis you're both facing, I don't want to imagine you both in the streets or worst.
Plan ahead. Look for backups. Possible places to go to for shelter: Friends, Family, Opening a a paypal account to accept donations. Lots of options, can't ever turn a blind eye to something because it isn't within the usual comfort zone. You'll find that pride can be quite self-destructive. I know.
Be safe you two. From the bottom of my heart, I wish you and your roommate find some comfort and good fortune.
