Since the depression came back, I keep finding myself repeating mantras in my head when things crash. One of them is this: "feelings do no dictate reality." I have to keep reminding myself that my emotions are lying to me. It's hard; as an artist, I run a lot on emotion and instinct. I'm really struggling trying to find a new normal.
