Spiral 🌊 - Depression is a raging ocean. Negative thoughts and feelings flood in, overtaking you. Swirling through your mind — hopeless, worthless, powerless. - Struggling to rise above, unable to break free. Lost to the swell, pulled under. - But at its depth, far beneath the churning surface, the ocean is calm and still. - Learn to calm the chaos and find the stillness within. I promise it’s there. - - - #spiral #spiralart #spiraling #depressionhelp #depressionart #depressionawareness #mentalhealthart #mentalhealthwarrior #mentalhealthmatters #arttherapylife #artastherapy #arttherapy #mensmentalhealth #acrylicartwork #acrylicpaintingoncanvas #acrylicabstract #abstractartistic #abstractwaves #paintingwaves #wavespainting (at Queens, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lymajHCF7/?igshid=1taim17hhh83x
