When I was 19 years old, I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

Now I am 26, and most of this time I have been treated with traditional methods such as medication and psychotherapy. But a year ago I found the ideal therapy for myself — art therapy. I express the whole huge range of my emotions on canvas. It actually works.

In my paintings, I show what the world of people with mental disorders might look like, I help to understand us and get rid of stigmatization. I also try to inspire people with mental disorders and encourage them to live openly and not be afraid of anything.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).

I was hoping more of their art would follow the introduction painting. So much expressed here. I appreciate the efforts and yes, some I absolutely loved. The artist is not alone, since so much creative work is done to express feelings and thoughts that have no other way to emerge. I hope we will see more in the years, in the decades to come.
