Drawing out my pain

[[va...]]

I am a cartoonist/illustrator and have found that giving form to my pain of withdraw through cartoons has been therapeutic.

 

Just started a blog. Hope it will bring humor or comfort to others going through this hell

These are incredibly powerful.  Keep going.  What talent you have - not only native artistic talent, but expressive talent.  I hope you are on the way to completely healing. The world needs you.

Thank you SO much, Lily. Nicest compliment I could get.

 

The world needs all of us and we will ALL heal!

You have amazing talent!!! All of your illustrations were "me" during withdrawal, you really nailed the symptoms.  Now, I'll wait for the illustrations of a healed, talented, contented and happy artist.

Me for a split second: "Why would someone want to draw out their- Oh. Oh I get it. Hah." 

 

You're very talented Vaartist! I look forward to seeing more of your illustrations!

Lol. I should probably rephrase that headline:)

 

Thanks so much for the kind words. I will keep adding drawings daily if they help others who are going through this.

 

Thanks again

Haha No, keep it! It's attention grabbing and clever whether it was intentional or not. Thank you for the art and the laugh. I needed it this morning.

[[va...]]

Thanks for the thoughts.

 

Will keep drawing out these hellish experiences.

 

Best!

These are incredible. I can feel every one of them. I've fantasized about painting my experiences with anxiety, depression and benzos. Dark, brutal ideas. This is motivation to think about it again. Thank you!
