A serious comment is probably due at some point so why not now? Image wise this definitely captures the hell those of us with real and legitimate mental disorders go through. The feeling of your head being ripped to pieces is visualized in an amazing way here. And the pose of the body gives that feeling of wanting to hide yet embracing itself, to me, shows the longing and desire to have someone there to hold you while you get through it. It's also a very defensive body language, hiding from physical or verbal assault.
And the tones and the textures just tie it all together. Very well done.

...if I keep banging my head against the wall, would it end? (fuck! make it all go away, please...) Yet the wall becomes your best friend.

True. Or in my case; my safe cave, my prison.

Well then except feeling safe, I hope you don't feel isolated often.

Noted, but our minds are our reality.

Exactly for you is real. It can be hard enough to react to others peoples actions or inactions, I wouldn't want you or anybody else to uncontrollable feel this way.

Or living with anything "out of the norm", produces this feeling as well. Striking image for the warm tones, which are unexpected for this theme, the merging crumpled and inward figure to the wall...
It's something I've seen before, this type of merging, but here you execute it perfectly.
My only critique is the legs get lost and molded together at the very bottom of the image, almost as an afterthought. I'd say make them clearer, or make it more obscure and harder to read - this middleway makes it distracting, I look there for a while to figure out what's going on... and I don't think it's meant to be a secondary focal point quite like that...
Beautiful gallery. You show me what's possible by merging painting and manipulation, something I'm very much interested in.

Thank you. 
Actually I see the legs pretty clearly, so I don't know if it's a screen thing or a taste thing, but I did want the legs to be more hidden/in shadow, so perhaps it's just a taste thing. ; )

Probably so, but I don't mind - I guess I just get caught up with things like that
Interesting... red is one of my favorite colors because it can mean so many things.

PERFECT!!!!
I give it a 10!!! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!!!
Are you the model in this one? The model is very beautiful, very pleasing to the eye. And the filter effect applied to the photograph is uniform and synchronized.
This is perfect. I love this one.
