Answered Submission
Depression is a serious mental illness that millions of people suffer from. It is universally accepted to receive help when we experience physical pain, but when we're experiencing internal pain, it is shunned to admit that we need help. This is unfortunate, so those of us who are going through depression need to stand up and speak out. Your obliged to willingly admit that you are depressed as that is the first step to overcoming this issue. Once you accept and acknowledge that you are internally hurting, then you must reach out for help. It is not possible to receive help until you realize that you are experiencing an issue, so make sure to come to terms with this. Anyhow, reaching out for help means approaching the people you love most, including your family. Talk to them privately, and then tell them your problem. As soon as you feel physical pain, you would probably be ready to tell your doctor right away, right? Well, the same works here: As soon as one starts to experience depression, they should reach other for help. Discuss your problem with your beloved one; both of yo should talk about how you feel, why you feel that way, and what you can do to beat this problem, and where you can go to find the support you need. After you have an answer to these questions, act immediately! Do not procrastinate. The more you wait to go to the doctor for a physical problem the worse it will get, and the same pretty much works with depression: the more you wait the worse it will get. We were not saying this to scare you, but rather to simply inform you of what you need to be cautious of. In the meantime, distract yourself by committing to your hobbies. For instance, you can play the violin not only when you want to but when you need to as well. This means once you start to feel down, you go, grab that instrument, and distract yourself with it. Express yourself through poetry! Write poems about how you feel or how you can help yourself. You can even write poems about things like strength or optimism. Use these simple tools to help you stay happy instead of depressed.

Neophyte
Blurb:Layla lives in a multi-planar universe where gods and superhuman immortals roam. Immortality is possible but only to those with money, power, and connections. Layla isn't worried about that, though. She's just trying to pay the rent. Robinhood style, of course. Atom is the self-proclaimed Mantle of Procrastination and good times. He Ascended from Earth a thousand years ago. A millennial NEET shut-in at heart, he enjoys video games and holo tube while spending time with his female companion, who does all his deific duties for him. Join the crazy adventures of a lazy God and his unwilling follower's rise to power. The first few Arc's of the story is an Academy arc. I think you will know if you like the story by chapter 6 as the first chapter may be confusing (or sucks, idk I like it so whatever)._________ The story is a slow burn. If you are expecting quick progression, I suggest looking at some of the other great stories on RR. I personally enjoy and Patreon several, but that's not what I'm writing. That might hurt my chances of trending anytime soon (or ever lol), but that is fine with me. I'm sure some of you will appreciate the story as much as I do in writing it. FAQ: The story has elements of xianxia and wuxia along with some GameLit (at some point). The story takes place in an age where tech has advanced to a complete integration with magic. Imagine everything running on mana or qi instead of electricity, and you will get the idea. There will be crafting but not until later in the story. It's actually a core plot elemenet for Layla. I'm writing this story for my own enjoyment and as a way of relieving stress in my life. I'm not a pro author or a naturally gifted wordsmith. I don't have beta readers and every chapter posted is a first draft. I'm still learning and will strive to improve as I continue the story. If you don't speak up I can't work on improving as an author. I welcome any criticism and encouragement that would help me become a better writer. I can't believe you read this far down! ;) Enjoy the story. --Cover Credit-- Cover art (emblem) by: Oxana Che Cover Design by: Miblart
