Day 18: A Photograph Of Myself

- Okay, so this day I can't do. I can't upload a photo of myself and have this remain anonymous, so I will do something else for today's blog.

- Soooo... for today I am going to share some of my favourite mental illness art. There's some more that I love but I can't remember where they've been saved. Also I don't have the names of the artists from the photos, sorry!!

These first set of photos were from the 2016 #Inkcober challenge by Shawn Coss.

I love the art pieces, and truly relate to these ones as they show how I feel.

These are some other general photos that I love and that I feel like I relate to.

They very accurately show what mental illness can be like, and I definitely feel like they are me.

I often feel like I am broken - like when something happens and it breaks me, sometimes I can feel like my whole body is shattering and breaking apart, like I'm a glass that has been dropped on the floor.

I've been here too many times - falling apart, tears rolling down my face while I stare at my demons and the darkness and watch them take over me once again.

This is how I feel on a daily basis. I feel like I am one person with multiple different faces, ad sometimes I really struggle with which face I'm showing to people. There's just so many faces hidden on me, and I can show a face that I'm not even feeling at the time, and generally it's a happy one even though I am screaming inside.

I love how messy this photo is. It's so true and real. My head is so dark and messy and the darkness is so intense that it doesn't usually stay in my head. This photo perfectly shares the darkness and how messy my life is and how messy I am - I feel like this is me and what I look like sometimes.

I think this perfectly sums up depression and other mental illnesses - you are a prisoner in your own mind and you can't get out. You are no longer in control, and although you can see a way out, you can't actually get out and you are just stuck locked up - frustrated at the fact that you can't get out.

This has been a favourite of mine for years. I have related to this for the longest of times - just feeling so small and insignificant while the darkness and monsters and demons close in around you, and there's nothing you can do to save yourself from them, or to stop the darkness closing in.

Another photo that shows how messy my head is - shows the different faces of depression and mental illnesses and how you are controlled by your head.

So this is it for today's entry - I hope you enjoyed!!

Stay Strong!!

Have a great day!
