What To Do With A Night Mare
Mar 22, 2016
Two nights ago, I had a nightmare. I'm used to bad dreams day and night, actually... but this one shook me for a long time. I couldn't eat. Couldn't escape the place it took me. That's rare, since I know the steps.
Get fresh air.
Talk to people.
Eat healthy food and get water.
Things like that are supposed to help if you are depressed or anxious or something. What sort of things do you do when you are having a hard time?
Talking didn't help. Moving around didn't distract me enough. And there was no way I was able to eat. In the end, I did art till I was tired enough to sleep. (this drawing, if you can't tell)
No matter how difficult things get, you gotta get back on the horse that bucked you. Show it who's boss. If the thing you tried didn't work the first time, try again. Don't let yourself fall down and stay down. When it comes down to it, even if you have supportive friends, your progress is up to you.
Had to try all at once before I was eating again. After that, all my other symptoms went away too. It's worth it to keep trying.
The inspiration that comes from watching others succeed is wonderful. But the strength you get from beating your own demons is the most beautiful.

Welcome to the long-awaited feels comic!
This comic is a conversation about life's trials and triumphs. Things aren't always right and fair... but magic can be found everywhere.
Alchemy (in mythology) is about turning lead into gold. Alchemy (in life) is about something heavy, like sorrow, pain, guilt, anger, fear... and turning it into light, strength, wisdom, hope and love.
I will be sharing a lot of personal stories here, and I hope that isn't uncomfortable for anyone. The purpose behind being so open is threefold.
1- To facilitate greater healing for myself as I share my stories in a way I never have before.
2- To facilitate greater healing for others who also have difficult stories.. maybe stories they cannot share.
3- To bring greater understanding for those who have never experienced these sort of pains in their own life and want to gain insight and sympathy.
Whatever you get out of this series, I want you to know that I sincerely believe you can take anything in your life and use it for good. A stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.
Your soul is the Philosopher's Stone. Use it to turn lead into gold. Shine with the greatest potential you have locked away inside.
I believe in you. <3
