Realties of Mental Illnesses

Mental illnesses are such a huge part of the world we live in. People do not recognize that others are hurting and I want my art to show how other people really feel.  I wanted to take some of my own experiences, with these mental illnesses, and also other individuals experiences. I am showing the real events that have happened in someone’s life, but also keeping each person anonymous out of respect. Everyone has a story and their own individual experience that is different from someone else’s. I want to make a difference and I want people to know that it is okay to live with a mental illness or body image issue, and that it is also possible to live a happy life.  People can be fixed, it just takes time and patience. I just want people to not be so ignorant and unaware of the differences in lives of other people.
