Artist Suffering From Anxiety And Depression Finds Therapy In Turning Her Life Into Comics (30 Pics)
As 2020 has so vividly shown us, living in the 21st century can feel like a meaningless, Kafkaesque exercise. And it's not just the outer world that's such a high-pressure environment; the inner one can become really turbulent too.
While coping with both of these dimensions is something we all have to figure out for ourselves, some things seem to be more universal than others. Like humor.
Of course, mental illness isn't funny. But artist Gemma Correll, who suffers from anxiety and depression, has found that creating light-hearted comics about her everyday life helps her to make sense of it all. Ask any of her 856,000 Instagram followers and I think they will say they get some sort of catharsis from Correll's work as well.

I keep hanging around TV Peak and River of Excuses, sometimes travelling to Napland, but always avoiding the Laundry Valley.

This, but add a whole aisle from Sephora and a small bag of chips that’s 89% eaten.

I'm worrying, stressing, overthinking, fretting, dwelling, and drinking tea.

If you are physically able, try to take a walk. Does a lot of good in many ways. If you have agoropgobia even just walking in your house helps

Make that 6 hours later. Then 30 minutes of good intentions not being on the phone then rinse and repeat...

The t shirt and shirt dresses are a fave of mine for wearing something shapeless yet cute.

So sad. But unfortunately the state of the world today... Even worse people that go through stuff like this can't even say anything about it (or a bystander) because then they will be called precious and snowflake.. If you don't find abnormal behaviour normal you get attacked..

Omg haha, you have dad humor. But to me this is mom humor... she likes the ones that are just on the edge of being clean and neat. (I'm sure there is a better way to describe in English. Not my first language so sometimes hard to convey what I mean)

Then she definitely has straight hair if it’s only brushed and looking nice. Wavy hair could never.

I love the real pigeon pose, it feels so good! Child’s pose is good too.

That’s normal meditation. With practice the side thoughts get quieter or easier to turn away from.

I wonder if Gen Z’s children will think tattoos are corny and for old people.
