Anybody else draw their hallucinations?

i can remove this thread, but im just making a new one since the old thread is from a long time ago!

i usually draw my hallucinations after i have them, they mostly appear as monsters or are in black and white. im only uploading this one monster since i cant actually upload more than one pic at a time

pls share if u happen to have any drawings of yr own !

Scary yet almost familiar art… I used to draw my hallucinations a lot more when I was 13, 14 years old, before medication. Mostly it was shadow people. Unfortunately I don’t have any of that art on hand but I do sometimes draw “delusions”:


This one’s titled “well blessed” on my computer, but I can’t remember why… oh well, it’s about an amalgam of strange thoughts.

Also, I see that you’re new! Welcome!

I do too. Drawing definitely can help. Find it quite therapeutic. Don’t have any to hand, but I do have a DA account. Although you can expect that to vary wildly in theme, style and quality :joy: https://www.deviantart.com/bumpyboo

@MaverickLM I encourage you to post art here (sz-related or no), it’s a great coping mechanism and can forge community + lift spirits… drawing on the wall is interesting! More tangible than a digital canvas! And so good that it helps you be less scared, I do that by naming things…

@KittieKaye Nice work up on your deviantart! I’m going to follow when I get back to my laptop!
