The Monsters Of Mental Health

ADVERTISEMENT

Personally I have had my own battles with depression and anxiety for a lot of my life. I was finally diagnosed with bipolar 3 years ago, so I do not create these images lightly.

I’ve tried to make them in the image of how I feel and hope that others can relate to them.

MH support and understanding has come far in recent years but it still has a long way to go but I think starting with not being ashamed of our struggles or diagnosis and being open about them is key to others understanding.

My daughter bought me a badge that says ‘ Bipolar Badass’ knowing that it would make me laugh and it is pinned on my bag, if anyone ever asks me about it then I would happily enlighten them on Bipolar !

    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).
