TRIGGER WARNINGS: depression, anxiety, work stress, suicide discussion, voluntary hospitalization
This is the first of the pictures that I drew following my rather dramatic crash and burn - I was suddenly panicking all of the time, and I couldn't think clearly or make decisions. I was sitting in the car, and I don't even know why I had the notebook with me, but I pulled out a pen and let time slide by.
This was drawn when I was at the height of my panic, and I was struggling at work and considering suicide before I decided to find a psychiatric program.
I was surprised by how drawing this picture interrupted my panic spiral. One picture would soon lead to another, soon...
