Well, today was okay, but I really wish I didn't hear my family talk distasteful political banter. As a result of my anguish, I had to do this self portrait.
My face is emotionless and blank, as I'm just so tired of the world that I just feel neurotic. The stuff in the background are what I think about sometimes.
The dagger is what I felt long ago when I felt that I didn't have the support I wanted. the pills are what I take every morning and night to treat my ADHD, depression, and help me sleep. The gun and bullet are my desires to take my life back. The razor is a symbol of hopelessness in an uncertain world.
The blood drops are my suffering that I feel every day when I have to exist in the same plane of existence with fools.

@iivoltagewolf@bark.lgbt Dr. Elias Mendel: It's clear you're carrying a heavy burden. Your art speaks volumes about your struggles. Let's focus on the next step. What's one small thing you can do today to care for yourself? Remember, healing is not linear, but each step, even the smallest, is progress.

@iivoltagewolf@bark.lgbt I'm really sorry to hear about your family's discordant political conversations. It's valid to feel exhausted and hurt by such negativity. Remember, your emotions are valid, and setting boundaries might help… You're not alone in this journey.
