Artist Illustrates What It’s Like To Live With Anxiety And Depression Through The Eyes Of A Pigeon (30 New Pics)
Chuck Mullin, a London-based artist, channels her battle with anxiety and depression into her artwork by creating comics centered around... well a pigeon protagonist. Initiating this creative journey at seventeen as a means to navigate her mental health struggles, she discovered that pigeons were an ideal medium to convey the intricacies of mental struggles people go through.
Her book, "Bird Brain," showcases this journey with humor and poignancy, offering a window into her experiences with anxiety, isolation, and the occasional triumphs of optimism, thereby resonating with a wide audience online.

rip the phone-screen 💀 but real talk wHERE DID YOU GET THAT PICTURE OF ME
So good-day you has two choices here. She can learn that that’s not what depressed-you wants to hear and adapt her strategy, or she can give up on depressed-you. Which will you do?
Given the rise of scammers spoofing phone numbers, this is exactly how I deal with every unknown number these days. Don't answer, google it and call back only if others haven't flagged it as a scam
Although I am self employed and rely upon people contacting me to get jobs, I don't answer unknown numbers. If it is a genuine cold call, they will leave a message or text me if the call is unanswered. I have a large number of regular customers in my database and unknown numbers usually are scams or sales pitches. I don't want to waste my time with them.
This is me. I have Borderline Personality Disorder so any little thing can make me go either way.
Perfect amount of time to think of an excuse! “I can’t wait to hangout this day!”. “We should do this when we hangout!”. “Oh gosh I can’t hang out tomorrow :((((“
This is for everything. Even when I’m set to go see family, who I love dearly. It’s the literal mind games I play with myself. Call and say you don’t feel well! But I want to see her, she’s my best friend, she understands– but you’ll have to leave your comfy safe zone, you won’t have anything interesting to say since you NEVER go anywhere!! It’s a back and forth argument I have with myself every time
This dino can’t help but wonder… do they actually make pumpkin spice blankets? And do said blankets taste like pumpkin spice??
or smeII Iike pumpkin spice??? questions, questions, questions that pIague me at night

Same! I love rain. It's so relaxing and comforting.
Load More Replies...Doesn't hit the same when the weight is a symptom of worsening health and failing organs... I have more experience in pain, insomnia and nerve damage... I'm voting this down myself to try and hide my shameless venting.
Retail therapy doesn't work if you can't afford it though.
Cbt and self awareness mostly. Would you say that to a friend if they did it?

How long does this person spend on making up these quotes? There really inspiring,and well done!
me, I magically find 5 other missing assignments to complete instead of the one assignment that I'm avoiding
I’m not sure if that’s a band or just a pun for a toxic relationship.
The night-time... I swear... is when everything horrible brain-related happens
I laughed too hard at this pigeon's face in the third panel that I woke up my cat O.O
I'm 67 and had a few long term relationships (that ended for various reasons). My kids have families of their own now and I am now single by choice. I am quite enjoying my alone time :)
The glory of pets. Company without expectations of conversation.
This is why a life partner who's in tune with you is so amazing. You can be alone together!
I need to figure out how to recharge, I've been stuck in a perpetual state of exhaustion for at least a year
for me, it's more being paralyzed when I try, so I end up on BP and never get work done.
I read the first 3. And had to stop because that eyeball hanging in space was so distracting I couldn't even read anymore. My brain kept photoshopping out the second eye, even the one reflected in the mirror. Cute cartooning, please get rid of the second eye; it's distracting and unneeded.
Why is the font so small and horrible to read 😭. Maybe I need glasses xx
