I know the feeling brother, just know that I'm walking the path by your side matching your every step. You're never alone in this battle of depression. I'm always here, and I know I speak for every one of your other patrons when I say "we are here and we care about you and love you for far more than just your art." I feel like I've developed a bond with you through your art and the messages spoken through them, I won't give up on you so please, don't give up on yourself... we love you Leto. <3

The trick to life is to understand that no one is always happy.
We cant be happy without also having sadness, but sadness isnt a bad thing, its a means to something better.
If something is getting you down say you feel you're not good enough, then make the change to be who you want to be but also appreciate the fact that you took the time and added that weight upon yourself for the betterment of others.
Depression isnt something easy to deal with but a trick I've always lived by is doing a root cause, keep digging and keep asking why you feel the way that you do, understand what it is you need to achieve and understand that it does get better at time.
The lower you get in life it means the more potential you have to get better and grow. Life for everyone is a struggle, but its not about always looking forward to the trials ahead or the trials you're facing but seeing the trials youve overcome, see where you've grown, see all the things youve done to help others.
We never grow without effort and we never learn without making mistakes. Life is a fleeting gift, and the scariest thing you will ever face in it is yourself.
You are always in control of your life and youre the one who takes on the burdens in it, be proud youve taken on so much and you keep marching forward.
Youre a great guy and an amazing artist. Just keep your head held high, keep asking for support when you need it and keep growing and be a wiser man for it.

Ones own mind can be a terrifying place for sure. Talking things out has been a help for me whenever I work up the nerve to bug others about my problems.

For what it matters for some random person on the internet, I hope things get better for you, really do. Not gonna say otherwise because it sounds like you're in a tough situation and from the little I know it sounds like you're right to be stressed over your situation, but it'll get better some day. Might not be tomorrow, might not be next month, but little by little it can. Nothing can truly stay the same forever even if it feels like it will.
For what it's worth just being someone you don't know, I'm here if you need someone to talk to.

And I do know how life works, how friendships are made, how relationships are made, I'm just the type of guy that understands how but life avoids me from getting any.
Idk if I should thank life or not, it probably doesn't want me to reproduce with the severe emotional imbalances that I have and leave offsprings with similar symptoms.
(I know that's not how it works)
But life is purposedly making it difficult.

You're doing what you can, and that's what matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you you're not doing enough.
Keep on trucking; we've got your back.

Already tried all of these, as this picture I drew, basically explains my life.
But there's only so much I can do right now, I gave up on my life to help my mom because my sisters took advantage of her and didn't help her, so I traveled all the way from Germany back to my hometown in northern Norway to live with my mom while helping her fix the house.
Sometimes I regret it but I'd regret it more if I let her to die in depression just like my dad.
It's either me or my mom, and I put my mom first, despite how much pain I'm going through right now.
I just don't want to live with more guilt than I already have after my fathers passing.

I've dealt with a lot of issues in the past, and I've learned that the best strategy against anxiety, fear and self loathing is to slowly expose yourself to things that you avoid. It's terrifying, exhausting and it feels like you're going to die sometimes... But every toe dip in the unknown teaches a lesson on what to do the next time. I know it's scary and seemingly impossible. You want to curl up and just wither into nothing. You feel worthless, scared... Small... It's your brain telling you these things... Warping the truth into your own twisted and sick reality. You can't let those thoughts control you. You're in control! A life controlled by fear is no life at all. Tell yourself that you can. Even if you have no friends, you don't need them to make a positive change in yourself. Friends will come in time with relationships you make with people you don't yet know. Baby steps Leto, change doesn't happen overnight. You don't have to start out big, just step outside and see what happens

It's so hard being alone, surrounded by people, but none of them understanding or caring who you are or what you're going through. Surrounded by water with not a drop to drink. It seems to never get better, but it gets easier to deal with. We can all wish well, wish that you had a friend or someone close that could be there for you in your time of need because everyone is so close, yet far away. Stay strong Leto, you may be lonely, but you will never be alone. Hold on tight and hold yourself high, there's always something or someone that can make a difference, a light in the dark. Be there for yourself and try to stay positive Leto, it's not the end

I fully agree with what's said here... and I really hope that if this is any sign of how you're feeling that things get turned around for you and you can feel truly happy
