This reminds me of my own journey with my physical and mental health.

Another good one.  An idea for a related image would be you hugging yourself (I realize that a lot of contact makes it more difficult to pull off).  The idea is one of forgiveness.  Perhaps the main figure is distraught, and the secondary figure represents part of you forgiving yourself (I've been doing a lot of thinking about the philosophical/religious aspects of forgiveness lately, so that's why it came to mind).  I think that may even be your intent here, although it is more subtle (or I am imagining it)--or it's about comfort, which is a related concept...

Is the grain intentional?  What about the items at the left?  Are they part of the story?  If not, they could be--giving a clue toward the emotional state(s) in the image.  Have you considered cropping some of the bottom of the image?  If the hand reaching in is the main focus, then a bit of cropping from the bottom would put it at the 1/3 position from the top (rule of thirds).  It might improve the composition--but composition is always personal in any case.  However, I enjoy discussing different possibilities...
