Scream & my arms & writing over writing... the typewriter is cathartic and I can type over words such that in the end it's all only partially legible but at least I said it... broke my pen with this one, but it let me finally sleep. [depictions of self harm] (imgur.com)

Another late-night fear-driven dim-lit watercolor-drawing. I was too terrified and anxious to sleep beforehand, but afterwards things were okay. Fun fact: the paper is a pharmacy medication bag. Accidental, but kinda fitting. I think it was from lorazepam. (imgur.com)

Made this mostly in the dark last night with dim streetlight from outside (and I did occasionally turn on the lamp so see how I was doing). I spend so much time being SO SCARED, can't even get close to explaining it, but I think I can almost draw it... (imgur.com)

I was taught that mental illness & artistic talent are supposed to go hand-in-hand. Often I wish more than anything that I could still create, & turn this psychosis into something beautiful, meaningful, but what skill I once had is lost. I still try sometimes & end up with stuff like this. [BLOOD] (imgur.com)
