Hi guys, it's Lula. First of all, it's completely fine if you decline a invite to this studio. Yeah.
--------------------------------------------------
But, anyway, on to the studio.
---------------------------------------------------
ABOUT DEPRESSION:
-------------------------------------------------
GOOGLE DEFINITION:
A brain disorder characterized by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life.
-------------------------------------------------
Possible causes include a combination of biological, psychological, and social sources of distress. Increasingly, research suggests these factors may cause problems in brain function, including abnormal activity of certain neural circuits in the brain.
The persistent feeling of sadness or loss of interest that characterizes major depression can lead to a range of behavioral and physical symptoms. These may include changes in sleep, appetite, energy level, concentration, daily behavior, or self-esteem. Depression can also be associated with thoughts of suicide.
--------------------------------------------------
MY DEFINITION:
(Lula's)
Depression feels like being in a hole you're never going to get out of. It's more than just sadness. How do I explain this? For me, it feels like i should just leave this world. It's just... real hard to talk about.
------------------------------------------------
ABOUT THE STUDIO:
-----------------------------------------------
This studio is basically raising awareness for depression, as the name suggests. Also, I want it to be a place where people can feel safe. I know it sounds stupid. But it's true.
------------------------------------------------
Also, if you need some support, just ask in the comments. If you see someone who needs support, you can help them, if you want.
--------------------------------------------------
RULES:
-------------------------------------------------
The most important rule:
NO BULLIES!
You're not supposed to be a bully in general, on scratch or in real life, anyway, so why start here?
--------------------------------------------------
May add more rules if a problem brews up, which I hope it doesn't.
OTHER STUFF:
---------------------------------------------
RANDOM POEM I FOUND ON SCRATCH:
@Crystalfeathers
The shadows lurk near.
I hear them calling.
Calling from the void,
Calling for slaughter.
My soul is no longer what it used to be,
Trapped beneath cages,
Fighting to escape.
-----------------------------------------------
If you want something to be added to the studio, tell me/us in the comments. Thanks.
