I love to draw, and i admit sometimes i draw things- I feel nothing wrong with drawing them..my mother,though. she seems really concerned. they're kind violent, Gorey,but i'm not going to go do things i draw. she often asks me things like, "why do you draw this stuff?"
"do you want to do these things?" and i say no, and mean it. i only really draw gore and sad things, but i use it as a means of venting. i wouldn't wish anyone that physical pain or sadness.
i'm a little worried she thinks something's wrong with me.
however if she really thought that maybe she'd get me some help.
that's all, i guess. Just getting it off my chest.

As a mother I can see her concern.
You say you use drawing to vent.
For whatever reason you need to vent, deep down do you really want some help? Maybe she's waiting for you to ask.
Don't know your age but at any age counseling is a consideration.
If you're over 18 she doesn't have to know, like if you talk to someone free at your college.
Anyway don't know if this helps but take care of yourself.

i have asked her for help sometimes...Yes, though i would like help , drawing usually gets my feelings out for good periods of time. they're usually just sad, and sometimes violent looking. I'm a very emotional person sometimes, very depressing. Thanks for the help, maybe i'll bring it up to her again/try and talk to her.

you are artistic so you vent with your art, which is a good thing, you would never do what you draw most likely, but maybe you can talk to a t. if you are sad you will draw sad pictures, has anything in your childhood happened to you? it is a good thing you can draw yor feelings out, alot of people have no way to vent, you're lucky. good luck
Thanks for this!

You are right,i would not do what i draw. I suppose, i still am a child, things have happened to make me sad in this time and before,but nothing extreme...however..my mother doesn't know, and I'm not ready to talk with her about it. I've wanted to talk to a t...i suppose, talking about tthings can be hard. Thank you though,i am rather lucky i have a way to vent. Thank you for the feedback, your posts are insightful. It helps me out and I'm grateful. UvU
