How to Join, Rules, and Affiliates

:bulletred: We will NOT accept pieces that talk about suicide, or planning your own suicide. This is detrimental to our members.

:bulletred: We will NOT accept graphic pieces. In other words, mentions (or images) of blood, wrist-cutting, scars from self-injury, and the like.

:bulletred: If your piece talks about struggles with eating disorders, please do not be graphic about your descriptions. I'd prefer a more generalized approach, and please avoid using the word "fat". That word is highly negative and triggering for eating disorder sufferers. Also, we will NOT accept images of emaciated (boney, very skinny and unhealthy) bodies.

:bulletred: If you use profanity, please attach a Mature Content Filter.

:bulletred: You may submit up to 5 deviations per day. Please, do not submit your entire gallery. Submit only your best works.

:bulletred: Please, submit your artwork to the correct gallery folder. (A list of gallery folders is shown below.)

Also, NO NUDITY!!!

Do not submit artwork such as: sketches or unfinished drawings and paintings; grainy or unclear photographs, literature with misspellings or slang abbreviations (like lol, wtf, omg, etc.), and stamps that lack transparency. These will be declined.

:spotlight-right: Our main focus here is anxiety disorders, so naturally, your art that you submit here should contain elements of anxiety. However, we do have a set of gallery folders in which you can submit positive outlooks on anxiety, as well as general artwork such as: photographs or stamps that invoke calm and positive feelings in anxiety sufferers. :spotlight-left:


If your deviation is denied, a staff member will let you know the reason.

I don't know if any of the other admins are around much anymore.  I know :iconskyeconnelly: has been extremely busy with personal stuff.  I myself am not always around, but I try to check in on this group when I can.  

I don't really know how this group was run; I figured it was a reasonable assumption that submissions had to be anxiety-related, but that's been challenged by some of the members.  As only one person, I don't have time to go back and forth with people about what should be accepted, so when I have a chance to come by I'm just going to approve everything.  

THE ONLY EXCEPTION will be submissions to the "Featured" folder.  Please don't submit there.  

Also, if something is submitted to the wrong folder, I don't know how to move it.  So if that happens, I'll invite you to re-submit to the correct one.

Lastly, I've been having a lot of personal difficulties and it's made it hard for me to be more involved.  Honestly, I don't know how often I'll be here, but I'm going to try to keep up with submissions.  If something expires, please feel free to submit it again.

Thanks for your patience and understanding!

I have many forms of Anxiety related disorders. From Generalized anxiety. to Social phobia. I also have post traumatic stress disorder as well as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Not exactly sure where they really came from cause well I dont know my birth family. I know they started around 3 years ago or more. They may even come from my disabilities that i have which is Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder as well as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder.

Hi there. I wanted to ask - did anybody here ever exprerience an intense fear pretty much about anything? I mean so intense, that you're totally paralyzed by it, enable to raise a finger or do anything at all. I feel it every f*cking day and i'm sick of it. It's pretty much one of the main reasons of my unsuccessful life so far...

P.S. Feel free to talk to me anytime, maybe we could share the same experience and help each other

Cheers

What do you think is causing it? Have you been to a doctor about this, and do you know of things that calm you down?
