Feeling bad again recently. Feels like every subsequent time, it gets a little worse in different ways. I guess it's a good, soft way for me to figure out how to handle different aspects. Not that I feel like I'm learning too much...
I decided to make this small series of drawings to describe the conflict in telling people I'm having a mental break. I've been so proud over surviving, over coming out of the worst of it, over feeling like I conquered my mind. How can I admit that I'm still weak? And how can I do it in a way that won't completely and retroactively ruin my reputation for being mentally strong?

I'm still... figuring out how to press that button anyway.
