Hey, guys, it's Diamondman. I've been starting to feel a bit on the sad side again, but this time, because of some concern for a friend I made on Twitter/X.

What does he post? Before this breakdown, it's mostly just stuff about Kim Pine, one of the characters from the Scott Pilgrim series. He tends to vent a little now, and often posts about his negative thoughts, such as his low self-esteem, alcoholism, thoughts of suicide, etc.

I've been following him for a few weeks now, and I'd have one less thing to live for if I didn't see him post stuff about a fictional character from one of my favorite graphic novel series. I know one thing doesn't sound like much, but to me, one thing can be everything.

So, what do I expect you guys to do about this? I expect you all to go follow him, and support him as much as you can! It doesn't have to be much, just leave kind comments and whatnot. If you don't want to follow him on Twitter/X, you can also follow him on Instagram.

Well, I just ended Chapter 1 of The DiamondmanPixel Comics F. I hope you all enjoyed seeing some bonding between Diamondman and Leylah. But, what now?

Well, expect me to make some more chapters, and expect at least three chapters a year. I don't want to overwhelm myself with comics too much. I mean, I think I already am by running two different comics at once.

Speaking of which, expect a new chapter of Aliyanah and Farrah to come out later this week. It's just the usual double upload for five weeks, so there's just gonna be the usual ten comics, although I'm thinking of doing more comics per chapter.

A final thing is, expect some more casual art soon, I have a lot of new ideas this year, and I may or may not be in a few collabs. You never really know with me.

Okay, that's all I have to say. See you all later, and I hope you enjoy the rest of the month!

Okay, for some reason, I've started to enjoy leaving comments that seem pretty wholesome. Not that it's a bad thing, I just suppose that I'm hoping it boosts the moods of others, as well as my own.

What exactly is a kind comment? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like: A comment that serves the purpose of being kind. It doesn't have to be exclusively a comment, it could also be a message to someone on Discord, or a direct post on somewhere like Twitter, posting wholesome art or music, or even just directly telling someone something kind. An example I have is right here:

It might not seem like it does much, but it can actually help, somewhat. If you leave a nice comment, you might get one back, but sometimes it can depend on where you are. Because of this, I personally believe that boosting the mood of others can boost your mood, as well.

With all that being said, pretty much, expect me to make some more wholesome posts. Have a nice day, everyone. <3

Hey, guys, it's Diamondman.

As I'm sure you all know, recently, I haven't really been in a good mood. It's not just a "normal" bad mood, either. I mean, it's gotten so bad to the point where I started cutting myself and taking cold showers. I've started to realize that maybe I've been oversharing how I've been feeling recently. So, you might be asking, what caused all this depression?

Well, I've been thinking a lot about past arguments and such, for one thing. I've been thinking a lot about the past, mostly the bad things, though, such as negative comments, the stuff I've gotten in trouble for, you name it. Even recent stuff I've started to feel guilty about.

Speaking of which, there's also recent situations that have been making me depressed. With me trying to be a content man and all while also trying to do better in school, I've been under a lot of stress. It's not just this, but I've been blocked twice in one day this month. One person, I don't even talk to anymore, but the other person, I tried to help improve their mood, but I guess I said the wrong thing, and now they've blocked me.

Thinking about that, I've started to realize that maybe I focus too much on others' feelings and I haven't really been focusing on my own. I still want to help anyone who's struggling in any way that I can, but I also need to be able to prioritize my own struggles, if you know what I mean.

I've received a DM on here from a concerned friend recently, and I think it might have awakened something in me, something that inspired me to make this speech. After reading through it, I started to realize that I've been hurting the people I care about: you guys. For that, I want to apologize. It wasn't right what I've done, and I hope I haven't scared anyone too much. I'm trying to do better.

Speaking of which, I've been trying to find methods of restoring that feeling I've once had, that feeling from when I just started out on here, when I was but a 13-year-old Sonic fan. I've been reading some of the recent comments a little more carefully, and I've been thinking about doing some of those things, as well as listening to advice from my friends and my family. As well as those, I've also been looking up some ways to improve my mood, and I've taken meditation into consideration. Heh, little rhyme there.

I personally wish the best for you guys, and I hope you're all doing well, and better than I've been doing. I'll try to take better care of myself, and I hope you all will do the same.

Anyway, with all that being said, I'm glad you took the time to read through all of this, if you did, obviously. Sorry if it's longer than what I normally post, but I just wanted to get this all off of my chest, and I feel a little better now that I did.

Sorry, Pixel Day, maybe next year ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

i'm tired of being reminded that i'm hated

At first, I was hoping they wouldn't, but they did. I actually kinda had a good talk with them about how I've been feeling recently, and I couldn't love them more right now. Only downside is now my mom feels uncomfortable whenever I'm in the kitchen (because I used one of the knives in there to cut myself). Anyway, I should be able to get help sometime soon, so expect things to get back to normal at some point.

To try and brighten things up a little, here's my current DVD and Switch game collection (the one without a title is just season 1 of Rick and Morty):

I took another cold shower and cut my arm again. I hope those who hate me are happy.

By this point, I should probably do as this person said:

Someone at school pulled the fire alarm to get out of class, therefore it has to be linked to me! Therefore, yep, I'm taking another cold shower tonight, and the second I get home from school, I'm cutting myself again. I'm just gonna keep doing this until I either get help or I learn my lesson.

Why? It's part of self-punishment for not finishing an assignment before the bells rings, and because my parents are fighting (not about me though). The other part, I just cut my other arm:

I swear, I need to do something about this, because I think it's getting out of hand.
