I Illustrate My Darkest Thoughts To Help People Understand What It’s Like To Suffer From Mental Illness
I've been living with mental illness for as long as I can remember.
And mental illness brings many weird thoughts in my head. So I draw them to make people understand what things can be like in the head of someone suffering with mental illness.

Exactly!!! I always let people leave a message on the answering machine or google the number before I even think about calling back...
At least you can’t see my ugly self in the dark.... That’s my thoughts
I use music. If someone needs to understand something that I can't explain, I make a playlist that conveys the message better than I ever could.
I once read some pro-cannabis website that seriously claimed that if weed would be legal everywhere then there would not be need for the psychiatric hospitals or psychiatric medicines. That was the biggest bullsh*t I had ever read. I am pro legalizing cannabis but it is sad that many pro cannabis websites spread false information how cannabis cures all diseases in this planet and that it does not cause any health problems. Spreading false information just makes the stereotype of 'stupid stoners' worse.
This is so simple yet so accurate and really hits home for me. Even though it's definitely a challenge and damn near impossible at times to deal with, it's nice knowing that I'm not alone when it comes to mental illness.
Damn. I've felt all of this at different points in my life. And I'm only 20.
Same--I have depression and anxiety, and it was shortly after age 20 that I started getting it under control. My second 20 years haven't been completely smooth sailing, but they're a big improvement over my first 20. A big part of it for me was getting on the right medication, but there's also having a lot more control over who and what I have in my life, and there's a strange comfort in the cyclical nature of these illnesses--after having the "everything is terrible and nothing will ever get any better" feeling enough times, you can start to believe that if that feeling was a lie all the other times, it's probably a lie this time too.
