23 Clever Illustrations By This Artist That Show What Anxiety Really Feels Like
Interview With Artist
In 2018, award-winning cartoonist, writer, and illustrator Gemma Correll, whose work has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, NPR, Elle, and Forbes, experienced a panic attack that lasted for weeks. Years later, that experience became the foundation for "Anxietyland", a graphic memoir that transforms the internal world of anxiety and depression into an amusement park filled with surreal attractions and uncomfortable realities.
Using her trademark illustrations and dry, self-aware humor, Correll explores severe anxiety, depression, agoraphobia, panic attacks, and dissociation, including the ways they can affect both the mind and body. The result can be funny, unsettling, and deeply candid, offering an unconventional look at what it means to navigate mental health without pretending there is a simple solution.

The above image of course takes place at 3am, which is always when you're still laying awake thinking about that slightly negative comment!

My yoga place was above a gyro shop, so all of my yoga thoughts were like, "A gyro would really hit the spot!"

went into a store by myself for the first time in years the other day...the work up to it was insane...when it was over the feeling of having successfully faced a fear was insanely good, like runners high good the issue is that it takes So Much emotional labor to get there, go in, and not turn around and run out screaming Each and Every time. Fatigue is Real.
