Graphic view of mental illness

Mild-mannered on one side, a superhero fighting against these damned symptoms on the other.

This is such a cool thread, I really like seeing everyone’s different views…

I never talked about mine…the hands is because of the tactile hallucinations I’ve experienced of being touched…I also like how on the outside the woman appears to be normal and trying to read…I always had to pretend nothing was going on…and the second picture represents how it always feels like there’s some terrible evil force that’s out to get me…and I do my best to stand up to it but at times I feel quite small and helpless towards it.

Because I spent my whole life thinking I was the only person like me in the whole world. Even all my doctors have said, “Wow, I’ve never met anyone like you before. You’re so interesting.” I felt like I had no peers anywhere in the world before I came here.
