Hi. I used to draw "dark"things too. It was when I was in my teens up til my 30s.

I think you have depicted your feelings/thoughts remarkably! I can tell the pain you feel, mostly BC I can totally relate.

My drawings were Satanic. I am not an evil person, but in my mind, I had felt so bad and angry that that was the way I had expressed my feelings.

It may be "dark", but it is how you feel. I don't think there's anything wrong w/ this. It is good that you are able to draw how you feel. It releases some pain and lets others know you are hurting.

To this day, I have thoughts like what you posted w/ your drawing (which is very good btw!).

It seems like you are concerned that this theme in your work has come up again. Just want you to know, that I understand where you are coming from.

Do you have someone you can talk to about why you're feeling bad again?

Complete expression of where you are at in the moment. Art is great a great way to let things out.

Thank you for sharing. It's great work

Have my girlfriend, but I feel like I'm putting her through so much always talking to her when she has so much on her plate as it is

I'm glad you have your girlfriend.

I think at times many of us have felt like we are burdening the people that care about us.

We are all here to listen. Maybe being here and talking will help you unload some of your feelings. It may help with that feeling of guilt that you are putting too much on your girlfriend.
