"That's something nobody else ever tells you about in school... That people could be like this. That at some point, during the exam stress, the heartbreaks, the responsibilities of growing up, the pressure of trying to be better than everyone else - at some point in my life, I just broke. And nobody told me how to fix it."
A grungey sketch I did a couple of weeks back for my Final Major Project. This is one of many intimate representations of Anxiety and my struggle with it. I feel like my drawing style has significantly evolved from the anime I used to do and what I started this page for, but I've been fighting a lot of personal battles recently and I feel like this is the closest representation of my style and emotions.
I'm hoping to post more art specifically to raise awareness of mental illness and to try and erase the stigma attached to it. I've lost a lot of friends through them not being able to take me or my illness seriously but I'm only looking ahead from now on. <3

I like this sketch, I'm having an urge to color it 
Of course mental illnesses in general aren't exactly a stroll in the park, but anxiety has this particular problem of not being recognized...well, as a problem... People will often think it's just the person trying to get some attention. I can't say I understand how you feel, cause I don't know you, or what you've been through, but I remember someone once describing anxiety as an unexplainable fear of everything, and that sounded terrifying to me. I hope trying to help break the stigma also helps you getting better
