About This Quote
Artists create beautiful things that are meaningful, but they also often suffer from depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. This may be because the creative process requires a lot of energy. The more energy you put into your art, the more you will feel drained when it is done. Once you are depleted, you may not be able to create new work or recover fully.
You may even experience feelings of despair or worthlessness in response to your work. These feelings may cause you to stop creating entirely, which is also common in artists who have had a failure in their creative process.
