Drop-in art sessions saved my life

Art has always been a passion of mine, but it wasn’t until I started attending drop-in art sessions that I truly found solace and healing in the creative process. These sessions provided a safe space for me to express myself and explore my emotions through various art mediums.

During a particularly difficult time in my life, I found myself struggling with anxiety and depression. The act of creating art allowed me to channel my negative emotions into something beautiful and meaningful. I found that letting my creativity flow helped me to release pent-up tension and find a sense of calm.

Not only did these sessions provide me with an outlet for my emotions, but they also connected me with a community of like-minded individuals who shared a love for art. Being able to share my work with others and receive feedback and support was incredibly validating and empowering.

Through these drop-in art sessions, I was able to not only improve my artistic skills but also rediscover my sense of self-worth and purpose. Art became a form of therapy for me, a way to cope with life’s challenges and celebrate its joys.

I am grateful for the impact that these sessions have had on my life and will continue to use art as a tool for self-expression and healing. I encourage anyone struggling with their mental health to explore the healing power of art and find their own creative outlet.
