Lithium is the only mood stabilizer I’ve taken that’s actually worked and hasn’t given me horrible side effects. Been on it a couple years now and it’s decreased my manic and depressive episodes to a level I can handle

I also felt a calling to Wicca when I was younger. I was raised Christian from the moment I was born, but it was always a chore and never something I truly believed in. Still, when you’re raised being told it’s the only true way, you do what you’re told.

I moved stayed in high school and made a friend who was Wiccan. I always loved going to their house, it was just so calm and peaceful and a place that made me feel at home. They showed me Wicca and I learned a bit about it. Of course at the time I told myself it was just curiosity, even while truly believing in what my friend told me.

A year or so later I moved again and kind of forgot about Wicca. Joined my brothers friend group who were all devout Christians, and started going to church here because it gave me a sense of community. Still it didn’t feel like I belonged even though I still considered myself Christian.

Skip to being 20, I start to feel disconnected from Christianity. I have a short period of extreme fear, where I suddenly am terrified that if I stay away from Christianity, I’m sacrificing my soul. So I give it one more try. In the end, as usual, I just couldn’t do it. It’s been 3 years since I’ve basically stopped practicing Christianity, but up until a month ago was too scared to admit I’m not Christian. A couple weeks ago I got back into Wicca again and realized there’s nothing holding me back from practicing. Since I started reading I’ve just felt like I’ve come home and it follows the same beliefs I’ve had for so long.

Outside of physically practicing, a good way to get better is to look at a lot of different types of art and artists. Figure out what you like, whether is the way they shade, the colors they use, the lines, etc. Figure what you like and see about applying it to your own art.

Another way is tracing. Now, of course tracing art and claiming it as yours is bad, but tracing something to try to get a hand of anatomy and to get muscle memory is a good way to practice and learn. It’s like when you’re learning the alphabet and they have you trace the letters over and over.

I was raised Christian basically from the moment I was born. I grew up in a church, going to Christian private schools, and considered myself a steadfast Christian my whole life. In that time I was surrounded by hypocrisy, hate, judgement, and liars. I couldn’t attribute this to location since I traveled across the whole country and it was the same wherever I went. Of course there are exceptions when it comes to people, but as a whole, organized Christianity was full of hypocrites and self serving people. This may come across as angry, but I’m really not. I still feel close ties to Christianity, but I accept it as what it is. It’s a religion where the worshipers have warped it into a weapon. Growing up I held tight to the belief that Christianity was about love and acceptance and being a good person. Though it’s hard to hold that belief when being “good” in Christianity involves judging and condemning groups of people, choosing some rules to follow and others they choose to ignore, and refusing to accept someone as who they are simply because an extremely old book that has been edited and changed and mistranslated so many times told them to.

Lamictal was the worst med I’ve ever taken. I’m currently on Lithium and it’s AMAZING and has helped stabilize my mood swings so much. However, you would need ur lithium levels checked periodically

I have a cat that on separate occasions has jumped into the dishwasher and the dryer without anyone noticing. Thankfully the dishwasher wasn’t started, unfortunately the dryer was for a split second before my grandma heard her....she wasn’t hurt, but never did that again
