Description

In the past I experienced panic attacks. They were a result of my life having become so stressful that I no longer felt in control.

My anxiety and depression took me over to a point where I had to start taking medication.

That was around 3.5 years ago.

In the winter I experienced my first panic attack in 3 years. This time I was able to find my way out of it and recover, rather than spiral into weeks and months of painful internal emotions.

During these last few years, I have learned how to express and communicate my feelings in a more healthy and effective manner, so that they do not sit inside of me and explode.

So, although this painting is quite intense, it is a testament and a reminder of how far I have come, and I hope that others will read this and feel hopeful that things can get better by actively working on your emotional and mental health.

Weather it is through medication, counseling, finding people who support you in your struggles or finding healthy outlets that help you feel alive, there are many ways to keep moving forward.

Every moment and emotion is temporary. The bad ones don't have to last forever.
