I've tried so many times to be better at being social but it only works in the short-term. I end up burning out, shutting down completely and not talking to anyone for weeks at a time (or longer). It's so frustrating to repeatedly fail on such a basic level

Again, stop forcing artists to become 'influencers' and minor celebrities just to have a shot at being paid. ALL artists deserve to be considered for paid work, regardless of following. That's why we have portfolios. Hiring based on follower count CANNOT become the norm.

We're getting a lot better at talking about the more socially acceptable ways that mental health problems present themselves, but it's important that we also acknowledge the symptoms that aren't as cute. Irritability, pushing people away, ungratefulness... it's all a part of it.

I'm always wary of people who are there for me in a crisis, but refuse to celebrate my successes. Isolated incidents are mostly harmless; people have their own lives going on after all. But if it's a pattern, it's a good idea to look a little closer.

Mental health is extremely messy. It can end friendships and ruin lives. Please be patient with people who are struggling. We may be distant, irritable, snappy or not fun to hang out with but we're doing our best. We need you to withhold judgement and be there when we're ready
