why I name my art things like insomnia, mania, depressive, hysteria, etc: a thread!

I have bipolar disorder. I’ve been living with it since I was about 17. I’m 27 now and after 10 years things haven’t gotten any better nor worse since struggling to deal with it ten years ago 1/?

GASP!! i never posted my art summary for 2019! (because honestly i forgot to keep it updated...) it's fun to see a year's worth of hyperfixations all in one place!! except for those month-long depressive spells like the one i must've had in march 😬

Whenever I feel a creative block, I make a self portrait. In fact, there was a time where, during a really bad depressive spell in art school, I forced myself to make a self portrait everyday for self-care.

Well, amidst the global panic, here is another self portrait -

Hi! I'm Hana :D. I'm getting back to drawing after a long depressive episode. I'm autistic and art is the only thing I can do tbh...
I remade my art account although I think it was a bad idea since I didn't have a big following, thanks for the support!

If I had found out about Rei Asaka at age 13 -instead of like one week ago- I would have figured out certain things about myself much earlier. Look at her... have you ever seen a more beautiful, dramatic and depressive lesbian

Mediating. Realized I cannot really afford to sulk. There are a lot of people depending on me the more I open my eyes; and even a lot of people that look up to me for one reason or another. While a part of me feels comfort in that depressive state
