A year ago, I made a post about this mental illness, but I couldn’t recover my old account. So here I come again, with new drawing ideas to show you!
I’ve been struggling with bipolar disorder since I was 16 years old, but I was diagnosed at 18. Talking about my mental health used to be very scary, so expressing my heart and mind with these black and white drawings became my way of surviving.
Today I’m 25 years old and even though I’ve become more assertive thanks to years of therapy and self-help, nothing feels as great as creating these intense pencil sketches… I get to feel relieved every time I finish an artwork, but the best part of making these drawings is getting people interested in bipolar disorder, inviting them to read more about it. I believe these cool drawings are a beautiful way to help, within my possibilities, to end stigma and discrimination against mental disorders.
