I Draw Minimalist Comics About My Mental Health To Help People Feel Less Alone (35 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

I've been making and posting webcomics about my mental health struggles for a few years now. Anxiety, depression, and some other mental problems. But they have always been three-panel, text-post comic strips without visuals. I've just never been able to do cartoon drawings of any sort.

A few months ago, however, I started drawing anyway, just pen on paper, and have since made daily relatable comics about everything from indecisiveness to issues with body-image. Other topics include perfectionism, insomnia, paranoia, on and on.

I post a lot on Instagram, and people have really responded. It's been so nice. I'm filled with gratitude. I hope I can keep making things that resonate with people and that help them feel less alone with their mental issues.

My name is Violeta and I am an editor here at Bored Panda. I love reading memes for a living. It’s obviously much more than that, but I appreciate the variety of topics, information, and pics I get to see every day and share with the world! Those funny memes really make my day too. Being born in the ’90s in post-Soviet Lithuania speaks more about me than I’d like to admit. I’m still learning about the world and myself, but I do love my friends, traveling, art, and my cat. My favorite fact to share about myself is that I used to hide meatballs in my friend’s pockets at lunch so I could go play outside. I wish all those meatballs could find their way back to me someday.
