I'm used to talking very openly about my mental health journey, but I've been quite hesitant to share how I made it to my ADHD diagnosis as it was, without a doubt, the darkest time of my life. As if 2020 wasn't hard enough😩 #CosmicTakeOver ImageImageImageImage
I've also have never been open about what turned out to be an eating disorder, how much weight I gained through the pandemic, or how dark your mind goes when you are in pain. I didn't know "restlessness" was not anxiety but internalized hyperactivity. #CosmicTakeOver ImageImageImageImage
I think this journey was very painful but Im very glad to be here. Im happy to have some closure with my past and the ability to implement the support systems I never had growing up. I still feel isolated but Im glad to have found an online community to relate to. #CosmicTakeOver ImageImage
This is my small contribution to #CosmicTakeOver, an amazing event organized by @ADHD_Alien and @Schnumn for ADHD Awareness Month. Make sure to follow the hashtag/artists for more ADHD comics these coming days <3
Also, it feels super weird talking about something so uncomfortable but I sincerely hope it resonates with someone else out there that might be going through the same. Thank you all for reading <3
Also (again lol) I kind of hope to make a longer comics about this, maybe actually story driven? online? graphic novel?. It is such a departure of my usual content but it is so important to me
