Artist Anusha VR used to dabble with fiction, but she realized she wasn't really enjoying it. So she stopped writing fiction and started drawing autobiographical comics instead.
The series is called The AVR Method and it already has accumulated tens of thousands of followers on social media. Every strip illustrates Anusha VR's life experiences, and quite a few feature her partner, too. From cute little moments to being vulnerable together, it looks like these two are on the right path. Taking a glimpse at their relationship, you can't help but feel that you've stumbled across something innocent yet profound and genuine. And it's awesome. Take a look for yourself!

This is something I have to remind myself often. I went through a pretty traumatic event in my teen years that led to me developing dissociative identity disorder, coupled with the Schizophrenia I already previously had. A lot of the time, or when bad things happen because of my mental health, I often feel that i'm to blame. But I have to remember what happened to make me like I am wasn't my fault, and I'm strong enough to control it better and be happier now. <3
"The comics explore issues like mental health and recovery from trauma while also covering lighter topics like books, travel, and food," Anusha VR introduced her work to Bored Panda. "I just hope my art can bring a bit of joy and wholesomeness to those who come across it."
At first glance I saw the grinch-smile on the grey ones face (upper right panel) 😅 before realising that these are headphones
Purple is me, gray my husband, especially the last panel (which was last night haha. Gotta reread Harry Potter after all these years!)
And they certainly do! Going through the strips, you should soon start noticing the main characters. Just like the scenarios, they come from Anusha VR's personal life too. "The characters are based on my favorite colors," she explained. "Purple is me, Grey is Prithvi (my partner), and Green is Bharathi (my aunt, parent, and best friend)."
And also that lighter purple isn't saying it has to be fixed, and letting them live their emotions but staying by their side all through it. This is how people should actually deal with problems.

Talking about her mental health struggles, Anusha VR said she finds it essential to be positive, but at the same time, it is also necessary for her to acknowledge the dark side of the struggles.
She has shared her strips on mental wellbeing with Bored Panda about seven months ago, but it's really nice to know that the artist is still keeping her demons in check.
I feel attacked. My husband of 20 years is absolutely my soulmate, but also is 6'4" and a fast walker besides. My short legs have trouble keeping up.
This was Dearly Beloved and me. Me 5'6" and used a cane. Him 6'8" able bodied. Delightful loving man. Just got distracted sometimes.
Omgosh! Totally, and what makes it worse, when I try to disguise my huffing and puffing.
This is true for me too, but what I really mean when I say I am full, is that I am full of the same taste. Hence the reason for now wanting something sweet, often followed by the bit of garlic bread I didn't eat before.
lmao, the light purple one's like "you just ate, why are you hungry again?"

Let’s be real: two is the one we all secretly want out of a relationship😂
My dear husband is like this. I have genetic dysthymia and he supports me when I have a bad spell.
I met my fiance online (as I am British and she is Finnish) and she admitted that before we met in person for the first time, she did a lot of research on both Schizophrenia and DID so she could recognize the signs of anything happening and be there to comfort me or to keep me from hurting myself or anyone else. She has, admittedly, taken some punches in the past, of which I really regret even if it is mostly beyond control at that point. But for her to understand and show me kindness and understanding still is the reason I want to be with her forever. She's my person, AND EVERYONE DESERVES A PERSON LIKE THAT. Mental health or not, everyone deserves that person who will stick with them regardless of their dark and light sides. <3
This one made me cry. You see my husband would do or say something, and I would say, "you are an idiot, but you are my idiot". I miss saying that to him. He passed away last year on the 23rd of December. My heart still won't believe he has gone. So many things remind me of my rock, my joy, the only one I could count on, the only one who loved me for me. Don't take it for granted they might not be there tomorrow. His heart exploded.
my boyfriend did that and asked why he was looking at me and he said "you make me happy"
My married life. Especially the spicy part. I was chugging milk at lunch after having a few flaming hot doritos and my husband did not even bat an eye eating his.
XD when you love someone so much you're willing to be scarred to life for them
I‘ve been looking for mint chocolate chip icecream for weeks now, but no store here sells it :(
If you can't find it you can always make it! Just get your favorite brand of vanilla ice cream and add mint extract and chop up pieces of a chocolate bar and mix it together (and add green food coloring if you want it green). You can make so many flavors with syrups, mix-ins and flavor extracts. I like to make fake fried ice cream. Add ground cinnamon, a handful or corn flake cereal abd drizzle honey on top of vanilla ice cream. Yum!

Do the "loser" hand gesture with both hands held in front of you - ie index finger and thumb held perpendicular to each other, palm away. The one that looks like an L *as you look at it* is left. If you make a circle with your fingers and thumb and then hold up your index finger, you get a 'b' (left) and 'd' (right). At a fancy restaurant that's the side of your main plate for your 'b'read and 'd'rink
It is ironic how every panel matches my husband and me. Down to nature drama.
Not only are these comics absolutely adorable, they're spreading so much positivity and understanding of what mutually respectful and loving relationships should be about. I loved them so much. The warmth, love and kindness in them has permeated my heart.
