This is probably going to get people to either tell me I'm horrible or tell me I'm pathetic( or a delusional weirdo)but I don't care


There have been times lately when I felt so down and hopeless(not all the time just ...times) that the one thing that kept me holding on were my characters and my story. I feel like I have to write them and my whole life will be a failure if I don't. I'll be letting them down.

Some of them have become so real to me that they feel like real people I know or friends who I've discovered stuff about. One time I participated in an RPG with one of them and on version of one of my OCs died in one timeline and I cried myself to sleep when I read the logs. I felt so much sadness it almost hurt physically. I only felt better when I played him again(more developed) and gave him a chance to start over.

It motivates me to write the best I can and do my best to get to the point where I can finally finish it. So yeah...my writing and OCs have probably saved my life several times over.

I don't think that sounds pathetic at all. I'm glad you have something that consistently helps you through those rough patches and motivates you to keep going.

If you don't mind me asking, have you tried any other ways to cope with the feelings that you have, or sought any help with them?

I have seen a psychologist before years ago and am looking for one again. I hope I can find one soon.

You are not the only one. I feel this way now.

Can I offer you hugs? *hugs if wanted*

IMO Literature is supposed to move people. It's supposed to reach out and grab them. and if it can do it this powerfully to me, I think I might be on the right track.

*hugs* Thanks anon.

That's true, and I think it's the power of creativity. It's the only thing I know how to do well, so that's the light I follow. I can't off myself yet, I'm not done breathing life into her. Or these many others.

Whatever keeps you holding on counts as something awesome. Plus, that doesn't really sound that delusional or pathetic.

Thank you.

I just think it will all pay off when I start reaching my goals.

That's a good attitude to have. I can really relate.

I set my personal record for running a mile when I imagined an OC of mine running alongside me. I decided that Those Bastards were after us and closing fast, but if we could just get across the border the fuckers couldn't touch us. So I just visualized him running along with me, and I didn't dare quit before he did. And it worked.

I feel you, anon.

I feel this way about my RPs. I literally have not been able to bring myself to care about anything else right now. I don't particularly care if that's unhealthy, and I don't necessarily think it is, since I take care of myself and my responsibilities first, but I just find myself day after day looking forward to writing more than anything else. If it makes you happy? Don't regret it, anon.
