That definitely gives you a good window to meet up and make new friends! Start out small and try not to get into the trap of toxic positivity. It's all about the little things.
For example, you might talk to a person and find out you have something (or much) in common, that can be enough to brighten your mood for the rest of the day! Don't forget to reward yourself and treat to something nice.

Try these steps:
1) Set healthy boundaries for yourself. Jot down on a notebook or computer a list of what you believe will have you say "yes" and "no". Create hypothetical scenarios and see how you would approach that.
2) Practice saying "no" by starting to delay the "yes". This is in terms of your diction. It's all about the little steps. If you're invited to an event, say "I will check my schedule and get you back on that" or "Unfortunately, I won't be able to make it" or "That doesn't work for me right now."
3) Don't apologize for something if it isn't your fault. Tell them "I'm sorry it happened to you." This will bring you closer to a path of assertiveness while still being polite.
4) Set yourself free from judgement. Come to an understanding that it is impossible to please everyone. That means you need to detach from other's their perception of you. Recognize that it's not someone else's responsibility to make you feel valued, cherished, or complete; it's yours.
5) Be your own best friend and treat yourself with dignity and respect. That doesn't mean you need to become selfish but it's good to embrace a bit of praise. If people compliment you, take it gracefully...but DO NOT become dependent on them.
I hope this will put you on a journey in a positive direction. Don't rush the process and ask for help from your friends and family.

Not gonna get into full details but after some really, and i mean really bad months i'm finally good again.
4 months ago everything was "perfect" in my life, then i decided to break up for another girl, got to hospital with some serious kidney issue out of the blue, couldnt do anything for 2 months just sleeping and consuming opioids painkillers everyday non stop.
Its been almost a full month now, no painkillers, had a trip in Europe to boost my mood up and im back to work. Im feeling like myself, finally !

A reason to feel bad is lack of work and being a new freelancer in « art » industry is a mental burden. I’m into slow months right now. Don’t know how I’ll manage the rent or the food. Or even how to find more jobs. Anxiety or whatever you call it is real. I’m not sure I could hold another year in this business without more incomes.
Young directors are probably mostly poor as hell. But the ones who succeed very high and very young use to make me feel bad about this haha

I'm pursuing bariatric surgery to try to get into shape and improve my health. I'm having the procedure done on the 21st. To prep for it, my doctor is having me do this pre op diet that's basically 1 meal a day + protein shakes.
tbh, doing this makes me realize how much I enjoy being obese. I really enjoy the freedom of eating like absolute trash and not having to care about the consequences. Oh well. That was a destructive habit that while feeling good in the moment, probably holds me back more than it offers me any tangible benefit. Its kinda sad to let go of that lifestyle, but I'm sure I'll get used to it.

Maybe try to have second career option if things looks grim in your industry . I have no idea about art industry .
I usually advise people to have backup in life if things goes down . But if you are persistent and confident then I say keep trying . 🔥🔥
