This is a current project that I am working on at college exploring mental illness, especially Borderline Personality Disorder (or BPD) which I suffer with. I want to spread awareness for this certain mental illness because it's majorly misunderstood and a lot of people do confuse it with Bipolar Disorder even though it's completely different. I will go in to more detail about the illness and my personal experience with it.

Anyway, this is one of the very first rough sketches I did of my negative emotions (and yes I did take inspiration from Disney Pixar's "Inside Out", the film was a huge help when I found out I was bordeline and I took aspects of those characters into my own work when I did these rough sketches but the final piece should look completely different to these characters, this is only a rough sketch).

I've notice I feel these emotions the most when I am in a really bad state and they become so strong and so intense I become a different person as such and there is no way to calm me down until I burn out.

I want to explore this concept more as will help to explain to the one's I love how I feel on a daily bases and if anyone else has BPD I hope they can relate to these feelings as well.
