My go to is exercise, swimming or walking. When I do it consistently it really helps. It's a good thing to talk about.

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Those are all great things too! I love to exercise, it just makes things so much clearer ❤ I hope you’re doing well!

Lots of wise words there Emily, thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings, I can relate to so much of what you say. Creative hobbies of various kinds have helped me through so many difficult times - ironically, when I most need it, when I'm feeling really low, is when I don't feel able or motivated to create anything and that kind of slump can be very hard to climb out of. As you say, nothing wrong with doing nothing sometimes, and things like colouring books can be very therapeutic and an easier way back in. I'm so glad you're getting support, sending love and hugs xo

Thank you for making this! Art of any type is an amazing outlet for difficult emotions. When I’m not feeling good, I just paint anything that comes to mind with very bright, intense colors, and it helps me. I hope you feel better, and get the support you need.

So well said Emily, I 100% agree with everything you talked about. We should all be made more aware of mental health problems and it’s through brave people like you who have the courage to speak up about it that will make all the difference. I’m sure you speaking out in this video will go someway towards helping others to understand this complex and often misunderstood illness. I believe most people are affected by mental health issues in some form during their lifetime. Being creative is a lifeline and has kept me going throughout my life in good times and bad. You’re an absolute Star ⭐️ Emily and your art is brilliant, don’t ever stop being you because you are amazing. Much love Jen x 💐

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Awww thank you so much Jen!! ❤ i really hope this will help people feel less alone and maybe educate some people who don’t understand or not know what to say to their love ones to help . I’m so glad being creative has helped you through tough times, I hope you’re doing well!

@davesillustrations 5 месяцев назад

I'm really glad you found the courage to make this video, creativity in one form or another is a natural escape so I can imagine your video will resonate with a fair amount of artistic people, and maybe non-artsy people who may find it through searches. I'd like to say that no matter how you're feeling, keep trying, there's always a better day to come. Try to make at least a little time for yourself to do something for you, whether it be art, music, watching a film or sitting in your PJ's all day on the sofa, whatever you enjoy, and try to focus on the good in your life instead of the things that aren't entirely in your control 💜

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Thank you so much bro! 💜 I was worried about what people might think if I posted this but I’m so glad I did! Especially if it makes just one person feel less alone and that it’s okay to ask for help . Thank you for being such an awesome friend!! You’ve helped me through some tough stuff and I really really appreciate that! 👊🏼

Hullo Emily, I am glad that you are getting the help you need and your your bravery in sharing this video is truly inspirational, thank you! I have enjoyed working with the coloring books and can wholeheartedly recommend them. I have seen the adult coloring book offerings expand to generous categories that appeal to everyone! I have myself purchased several books to support artists that I want to support. It is an easy way to give support, get a piece of artwork in return without needing to find wall space for a new print or painting! Yeah I have done that as well. I have enjoyed your prints and your books too! Thank you for sharing this topic and I hope you continue to create, share, and enjoy continuing mental health. Have a lovely day.

Thank you so much !! And for supporting artists too! It means more to them than you’ll ever know! ❤ I really appreciate you supporting me , my channel and my art journey it really means a lot !!

@@EmilyArts Emily, I was a young artist and I do remember how overjoyed I was after getting into a show and then selling it, I was truly blown away! If I was any positive aspect in your art journey I just want to say, you do deserve it and I am so glad that you have said so, Thank You.

Hi Em! Kudos to you and your bravery on sharing this part of your life. I've struggled with depression from time to time, nothing too serious. But like you art is the therapy keeps me rooted. ❤❤❤

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Hey Troy!! Thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤ I’m so glad art is a great outlet for you!!

@artwithMs.D 5 месяцев назад

Dear Emily. I empathize with you and how you feel. There are days i feel medication and therapy are worthless, art becomes my only outlet. But not always life allows me to make time for art (4 kids, 3 teenagers are busy, serving in the community, and in work events). So i started creating in my mind, and when i get to sit down, everything explodes on a paper, and it feels wonderful. Thank you for sharing this video. I know exactly how you feel. You are wonderful. Sending you hugs from Texas! ❤

I lost my motivation for art ever since my parents took away my art supplies due to mental health, it's hard now that i got them all back, i just feel like I can't do art. Art was my no.1 distraction, but now it's finding that motivation to get back into it again, I've started small, like doodling, but when it comes to proper art, it's something i can't do. even if i did end up creating an art peace, it just get chucked in the bin or ripped up.

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Awww I’m so sorry to hear that!! I really hope you manage to feel the joy from art again soon! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! You can do this I believe in you! ❤

Emily that is amazing that's exactly how I feel I suffer from poor metal health and I also have a chronic illness one feeds the other Art literally saved my life I had a total mental breakdown in 2008 and I suffered depression on and off since then I take medication daily which helps Ive been struggling a bit this month and I've turned to my reverse colouring book Which really helps Can I say you are so brave to tackle this subject I found your video empowering and uplifting love your illustration too Xxxxx

Thank you for sharing your thoughts Emily. I have struggled for as long as I can remember, so know exactly where you are coming from. In my case a lack of serotonin has a lot to answer for! X

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Aww thank you sue! I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a hard time ❤ ill mental health sucks!! But together we’ll get through it!!

@Rayedrgn02 5 месяцев назад

Creating art has helped me a lot mentally as well. Some of my art is rather dark and I sometimes worry about what people might think of it but I guess in the end it doesn't really matter because I am making it for me and not everyone is going to agree with my thoughts and opinions. Thank you for sharing your story and I hope you continue to make art and further your journey in the creative process it has been really fun to watch you evolve as an artist. Stay strong~ XOXO 💘💝💖💗💞

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

You’re absolutely right! As long as it’s helping you release negative emotions in a healthy way that’s all that matters! No one else has to see ❤ I hope you’re doing well!!

@budrothefox3666 5 месяцев назад

I struggle every day. Being creative and working out are the only 2 things that have a measureable impact on positively influencing my mental health. Listening music helps a little but i find that consuming things has less impact. Actually producing, creating or working seem to be non negotiables and provide a stronger foundation. Sometimes on really bad days a cheat meal of some extra yummy food that ya dont eat often as a treat can be q nice pick me up. Give a try or don't. Either way i hope anyone thats struggling now is struggling less in the future.

@EmilyArts 5 месяцев назад

Awww I’m sorry to hear that you’re struggling ❤ I agree that listening to music and having a little snack of scrumptious food helps too! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and I hope you start to feel a little better soon! We’ve got this together!

Great video. And a brave one as well. I'm a big fan of getting out into nature, as far away from people as possible, finding a tree to sit under. Usually with a flask of coffee. Your drawing is great (as was the skull you shared on a post recently).

Thank you so much!! ❤ nature is such a great healer and I’m so glad it’s able to help you through difficult feelings, thank you for sharing your experience !
