Another year goes by.... another bad start to my year. I chipped a tooth pretty badly. I nearly lost a close friend a couple times due to my mood swings. I even accidentally inflicted emotional damage to my boyfriend. I've been pretty depressed. I don't draw much anymore. Especially since a particular person told me that my art sucks.... in great detail.
And although my birthday is in a few days, it just reminds me that I haven't died yet. *sigh* I dont know what I should do anymore. Even my boyfriend has noticed I am much more withdrawn and silent. I haven't even had the motivation to write. Many nights, I hope my stepmom and dad don't hear me cry into my pillow in despair. I can't get a job in my current condition. Many businesses don't want the liability of someone who will pass out randomly without warning due to a heart condition. And they certainly don't want someone who uses a cane. This much has been painfilly obviously apparent. I don't know what to do anymore. *hang a head defeated*
I could use some cheering up.
hey no matter how many people abandoned you i won't leave you behind, so please cheer up, i wanna see a smile

We're here for you friend, we'll get you through this as much as we can
While I'm not the best at emotional support, I can say attitude is important, sometimes life loves to throw curve ball after curve ball--and I can see you have been thrown quite a few--but don't neglect to do things that make you happy; drawing, writing, and such. I know tough stretches, patches if you will, are tiring and make one feel at the lowest level of worthiness. A smile can do much, even if it's just to yourself, to make a shitty day the tiniest bit better. Find activities that excite you, games you play or even look over old art of yours to see how much you've improved. It's paramount to keep a healthy mindset. Is it easy? Sometimes no, and other times yes, but just keeping it at hand can make one feel better.
Also, the person who criticized--by your words quite harshly--your art, take what you can from it to improve (if there is anything to be taken, I have not seen it). Sometimes, not all granted, even the most scathing criticism has tips and improvements that could come in handy. But, do not take it as a sign to stop drawing! Take it as kindling to further your skill, no matter how inexperienced or experienced you are.
I am not going to say things are going to get better, I don't know, but I do most certainly hope they do. Finally, the above is merely my thoughts, take them as you will.
Have a good morning/afternoon/evening.

I'm sorry to hear that things have been going horribly for you in this new year, and while I hope that things do get better for you. Just please know that I'm always willing to listen if you ever want to talk. And as for your art it is amazing, you give it your best effort and you do a wonderful job at it. So please don't let some prick with little to no talent or skill tell you other wise, when there is a good chance they've never done any kind of art work of their own.
