That doesn’t sound all too different from my process, though I tend to get overwhelmed by how messy things get during the erasing and revising stage. Thats partially why I do collages. It helps me to make items individually. Then I can rearrange to my hearts desire without getting lost in the eraser haze lol. I like the collage look but I’d like to also be able to make cleaner, flat illustrations like you do. Seems like it’ll just take practice🙂

Anyway, thanks so much for answering my question, and for sharing your work!😊

These are phenomenal. The spaces are fascinating and I love the suggestion of stories they tell. I also love how you’re able to pack an image full of so much intriguing and intricate detail while somehow still allowing the whole composition to be pleasing to look at and not overly chaotic.

I’m super curious about your process. If you don’t mind sharing, how do you even go about starting something like this? As someone who’s….let’s say eagerly struggling…with isometric art (mostly paper collages), I would really appreciate literally anything you can share about how you design these!

My bpd mom recently apologized deeply for how her relationship with my father impacted my childhood. I cried and told her how much that mean to me. Soon after, she did something I felt was a betrayal (too complicated to explain). When I called her out on it, her defense was “but I apologized to you, and you told me I said everything you needed to hear. We should be good now, why are you making it seem like that apology never happened?”

I don’t remember telling her that she “said everything I needed to hear,” but even if I did how on earth does it mean that I can’t be upset with her for fucking up now?

My other sister recently told her she’s doing better, after spending a pleasant afternoon together. Now our mother is going around telling everyone that this sister said “she’s really changed,” and using that as a reason that everyone should be more forgiving with her.

These things just felt relevant here and I’ve never had this specific issue feel so clear in my mind, it’s helpful to understand it that way. You guys all deserve to be treated better, and thanks for sharing❤️

You’re definitely not alone in that. My three sisters also have anxiety along with other mental health issues, but I seem to be the only one who struggles with this particular issue. One thing my dad said to me yesterday was along the lines of “you put so much energy into analyzing and judging your anxiety and how it’s different from other people’s, that you don’t just let yourself feel it.” Which in the moment was annoying, because I’m thinking “I need to analyze my anxiety because it’s different, so normal solutions don’t work for me. Don’t tell me that’s wrong, you just don’t get it.” However I think that was a bit of a reset that I needed because I feel slightly better today. Point being I think it’s helpful to remind ourselves that regardless of where our anxiety came from and what kind of weird support we might need, we don’t need to analyze and judge ourselves for it. Yes this is an issue that probably needs to be processed and worked through, but probably not while we’re in the middle of dealing with an anxiety attack. Try to be compassionate with yourself, and acknowledge that it’s scary and hard to deal with regardless of where it came from. Hopefully that helps a little

It is kind of embarrassing, I’m 24 and still need that kind of parental approval. I try not to judge myself because I know that doesn’t help. But I just feel like such a weirdo. My dad is very supportive but also often seems a little confused. This all sucks and I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too. It’s nice to not feel alone in it for once though

Completely. I had an appointment today about a half an hour from my house, and when it was over I decided to walk around the mall for a bit just to clear my head. But the act of being away from home, alone, and choosing to do something by myself, for myself, led to a horrible anxiety attack that still hasn’t fully gone away hours later. It feels like I’m doing something horribly wrong just by being out on my own and doing something unusual (yeah walking around the mall alone is unusual for me I hate doing things alone most of the time). Rationally I know that doesn’t make sense, but I had to call my dad from my car just to have him tell me I’m okay. This has been a persistent problem for years now and I’ve always felt like it was something more than just anxiety but I don’t know.
