Feeling sad and alone most of my life was the inspiration to create these unique illustrations. Struggling with depression since I was a teen it took me years to unlearn a lot of ideas that I was socialised to believe, many of which were negatively impacting my mental health. I'm still figuring out how to be alive in this world but sharing my thoughts and realisations with others has proven to be a very rewarding process. The more I learn about how to live and love more fully the more I like to share my thoughts and realisations with my online community Recipes For Self Love. I've been running my Instagram account for about two years now and have built a following of over 445k people from around the world. I want to continue growing my online community while spreading awareness and truths that I found to have helped me a lot.

    Amen to that. It always amazes me that people can get so pissed when they don't respect someone else's boundaries. I haven't spoken to my sister in months because of this. I text her occasionally, but that's it. When you're having a conversation with someone who constantly interrupts you or speaks over you, you're not having a conversation - you're being held hostage by a narcissist.

    I have been basically estranged from my younger son for several years. It's very hard, but I went through 8 years of living with his alcoholism. It destroyed my life and nearly killed me. Now we connect through phone calls and Facebook. I last saw him 1 1/2 years ago. I know that he will never recover, but I don't let that cause me distress like it used to. I have to take care of myself.

    Oh FFS, "white supremacist capitalist patriarchy" is not responsible for humans valuing beauty. Every culture that has ever existed values it because it is part of our biological drive to select the best and fittest mate. This woman's problem isn't that she is ugly, it is that she is ignorant and knows nothing about biology, evolution, human history, psychology, economics or pretty much everything else. Those deficiencies can be rectified, but her irrational race based hatred is something that should not be lauded. She is far uglier on the inside than she could ever be on the outside, and if she is alone because of it then it is only just that it be so.

    oh, l was ready to write the same before scrolling.too shallow, annoying and sadly popular words. I'm from country where racism never existed, and connecting every problem with races or political systems is annoying me terribly. for this woman's problem, in monarchy and then communism we had beauty standards, in capitalism we also have, with all white population we had beauty standards, with growing population of African and Asian migrants we have. it's ridiculous, FASHION existed in stone age and exists in the most isolated tribes today. BEAUTY STANDARDS existed in every stage of human evolution and exists in every society. I've been too ginger, overweight, too skinny, so many not standard things in different times but blaming white capitalist men for not being the most popular girl i never think before :D

    Erasing a term that we find negative or hurtful is not always the right answer. Saying everyone is beautiful is like saying everyone is a winner. In a philosophical way, this may be true, but in reality, it is false. Was everyone a winner at the Olympics, or the Super Bowl? No; there were losers. Is everyone physically beautiful? No; some people are physically ugly. Why does this have to be a negative thing? Only because society puts value on physical beauty. That is the part that needs to change. Just saying that everyone is beautiful does not make it true. Saying that everyone has value, regardless of their physical appearance, is true. This is the idea that should be supported. Instead of erasing the term "ugly", we should neutralize it; give it less of an impact. Ugly or beautiful should be said with no more meaning than tall or short.

    This comes directly after two posts which say to keep only the people who 'add value' and ditch the ones 'draining your energy'. Guess who are the first to get ditched? I know mental Illness isn't much fun to be around, but we could do without the ableist social exclusion on top of it.

    I do not know of anyone who does not struggle with some kind of mental illness. If someone you know is going through their own issues, they may not be able to handle your issues on top of that. In turn, could you handle their issues while simultaneously dealing with your own? It isn't always about ableist social exclusion. Sometimes it's just about what each individual can deal with at the moment. Also, are you implying that someone with a mental illness cannot 'add value' to your life? True friends will recognize the difference between "you're going through a rough patch" and "you are draining my energy". If they cannot recognize that, then they are the toxic ones and you should eliminate them from your life.

    Society still has a stigma regarding mental illness because there is still a lot of fear due to ignorance. NAMI is a wonderful organisation (in the U. S.). For years, I have gone to meetings and classes. I have members of my family who suffer from mental illness, including myself (depression since I was a child). In the 1960's and 70's, no one understood that it wasn't your fault.

    Mental illness is an illness. Like a heart problems is a illness of the hearth and diabetes is a problem with the pancreas. The brain is an organ like any other and get sick sometimes. There should be no judging and people who suffer should get treatment without feeling guilty or that they could have done something. You can't. When you have diabetes you sometimes need medication, the doctor doesn't say : well, just try and make your pancreas work better = that would be silly. Well illness of the brain is the same. You cannot change it with your will. We have no power over our sick organs. But medication does help, please ask your doctor for help!

    Agreed. Medication does help. There is a stigma against that as well. Some people get nervous when they find out you are on anti-psychotics. "Oh, you must be crazy?" "Umm, no. That's what the meds are for; to keep me from being 'crazy'. Duh!" This sort of ignorance needs to stop. A person being medicated does not mean they are dangerous. Also, medications are not "drugs". I'm not getting high, I'm getting "normal".

    Ok but this comes directly after two posts saying to ditch those draining your energy and keep those who add value to your life. Mental Illness is hard enough without the ableist social exclusion.

    You seem to love that phrase; did you just learn it? Ditching people who drain your energy is not ableism. Ableism is discrimination against people with a disability or illness. Choosing not to continue a relationship with a toxic person is not ableism. Mentally healthy people are not responsible for dragging mentally ill people along through life. Mentally healthy people have absolutely no obligation to remain friends with, or continue to help, mentally ill people just because they are mentally ill. Having a mental illness does not give anyone the right, or excuse, to abuse or mistreat anyone. Most people will try to be understanding, but everyone has a breaking point. My husband has severe PTSD and is an addict. He put me in a dangerous situation and I left him in a prison in the Arctic tundra. Did I leave him because of his illness? No. I left him because he was dangerous. He refused to get help, so I walked away. That is not ableism.

    I'm fighting for my life to get the disability I deserve, but some of my illnesses are "invisible." Just because you can't see it doesn't mean it isn't there. Just because you can't understand it doesn't mean it isn't real.

    I don't like it. 33 years is to long. It will be with me till i die. I think it was unfair and never got to live the life i wanted to. It was a death sentence fear always won. Now 46 and people like me have no friends and usually alone. Some recover and other don't or can't course . I don't understand why I was born ,I an nothing and have no purpose. That's life.

    This one is true. I'd just add that, sometimes, it's your non-nice side that protects you from harm (both psychological and physical), and from people who misinterpret your niceness. You really gotta learn to see who deserves your nice side and in which situations.

    Why? Why on earth do you need to "share" your emotion? Please keep it to yourself, I have my own issues already. You feel ugly, keep it to yourself. You feel being fat, keep it. You feel unsecure, keep it to yourself.

    I agree with everything so far, I even agree with this to an extent. I do worry that the ones with this sort of message can be taken out of context. "No Longer Healthy" or "toxic" (seen above) -- that could be something where there is a definite need to remove a person from your life. I can also see people using this as a way to justify not dealing with things too though... and not only that, but not giving the person any chance or opportunity to work on things. I guess I read these and I am immediately like "yeah, definitely" and then I think about friends, and if they thought this way about me, and it kind of terrifies me lol

    I believe that if a person, such as one in your example, can no longer work with someone to improve the relationship, then it is no longer a healthy one in that person's eyes. No one should be forced to work something out if they feel that there is nothing to work out. Remember: It always takes 2 to tango. If it were just one, you would be just playing with yourself!

    This is, of course, utter nonsense: women have been using beauty products for centuries and indeed probably invented most of the earliest ones, long before there were business, a patriarchy or a capitalist system to expand and exploit them.

    Capitalism had not been identified in biblical times, and there's a lot of talk about beauty, especially in women, in the Bible. Not saying it's right, but 200 years of history isn't responsible for that.

    This is blatantly untrue, for so many reasons. This is just as stupid as saying "The beauty of nature was created by American camera makers, so they could sell more cameras." Beauty, whether in nature or humans, does exist. Beauty can be admired, appreciate and sought after. Beauty can also be exploited for profit. Regardless of the endeavour, if a profit can be gleaned, someone will try to exploit it. We see "flaws" in ourselves and then seek a solution. Someone sees the need for a solution and sets out to profit from it.

    Not so long ago I was at a party with some members of my family. At one point we were sitting there with my girl cousin and her girl cousin. The spirits were high. And then that other cousin starts talking about that woman that just passed us by. The woman was quite overweight, wearing heavy makeup, but a very short skirt and really white high boots with an enormous heel. The comments my cousin’s cousin uttered were horrible, she called the woman a pig, a cow, a tart, etc. And then suddenly my cousin, a traditionalist, a quiet and submissive soccer mom, who rarely expresses an opinion different from the one of her dominating husband’s, goes: “I don’t think you should be using that language. A woman should never go against another woman, especially using the offensive language a man might use against us. Let everyone be who thy are.” The other one was dumbstruck. And then she apologised. I was really touched and so proud of my cousin that night. Criticism is ok, hypercriticism is not.

    Trauma is very difficult to get through. Always, no matter how strong a person you are. PTSD is going to be with you for the rest of your life, creating anxiety and fear. Trauma does make you stronger, because you know that whatever comes next, you will have the strength to survive. It teaches you empathy and compassion, which allows you to be supportive towards others who are going through their own trauma.

    Women have generally less opportunities to succeed than men, so that's why we should celebrate women who do succeed against all odds and not be jealous of them, because they're success if paving the way for other women. It's not that you can't be happy for men who succeed, it's just that men have more opportunities to succeed

    Oh And Btw Things That You Might Not Think Affect You Actually Do. For Example Most Men Don’t Realize That They Also Suffer From The Patriarchy. Toxic Masculinity Is A Dangerous By-Product Of The Patriarchy And Restricts And Punishes Men For Deviating From A Particular Idea Of Masculinity. This Hurts Them, And In Turn They Hurt Us. It Is In All Of Our Best Interest To Rid This World Of Oppressive Power Structures! .

    Oh and btw things that you might not think affect you actually do. For example most men don’t realize that they also suffer from the patriarchy. Toxic masculinity is a dangerous by-product of the patriarchy and restricts and punishes men for deviating from a particular idea of masculinity. This hurts them, and in turn they hurt us. It is in all of our best interest to rid this world of oppressive power structures!

    The problem is that women get raped/abused and men and boys get raped/abused also. The commun person who abuses most women, men and boys/girls are : MEN. It is a men problem and we should address it as such. We should help men and try and find out why there is so much abused perpetrated by men and try to address the situations. It's a real problem and I am sure there are good solutions. We just need to stop blaming the women and telling them what to do to avoid this situation. NO. We should help the men stop these behaviours.

    It is starting to annoy me that people feel the need to always say "but it hurts men, too" when something is said regarding feminism/sexism. While it's often true it doesn't really matter. It's enough if it "just" hurts women to start taking action against it.

    When my depression was bad, I could not feel hope...but I kept telling myself my doctors and my friend had hope for me. That helped more than you'd think.

    Support systems are essential. Sometimes we have to seek them out, no matter how difficult it is to do so.

    You can't completely control your feelings but you can learn to moderate them so they don't become intense enough to interrupt your mental wellbeing

    Exactly! There’s a midpoint between having management when you’re angry- and scolding a boy for crying. If you scold someone, anyone, for crying, that’s just cruel, and it’s one of the reasons people are scared to show their emotions.

    ok you cant control your emotions but you can definitely control how you express your emotions and sometimes it is very important

    Feelings are transient. A different perspective and avoiding certain situations can help you control your feelings.

    For example, we can choose what we do with our anger, it can be very energizing and set us on a wholesome path of radical action. And there are a lot of things wrong in a society, and people can help change things. Example the civil rights movement in America. ... The doctors who set up World Health Organization.

    You cannot control them, but you can improve them. Unless you had a real traumatic event, most of your painful feelings are result of stress (work, school, family, acceptance, friends, your secret crush, judgemental strangers, your own brain etc.) The good news is, you can lower your stress levels with the proper vitamins and minerals as a "first aid". Then you can proceed into making some real improvements.

    Or you can choose what you do with them. Befriend your feelings and do not let them dictate your actions. Anger is one thing, expressing that anger is a separate thing. I choose to celebrate my anger but not express it in ways which are violent or even public at all.

    You can work on changing your mindset so that those feelings don't come up as often, and you can control how you express the feelings when they do come up. So in some ways, yes you can control your feelings.

    As for getting past this as a child, Fred Rogers said it best: "What do you do with the mad that you feel When you feel so mad you could bite? When the whole wide world seems so wrong, And nothing you do seems very right? I can stop when I want to Can stop when I wish I can stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this And know that the feeling is really mine. Know that there's something deep inside That helps us become what we can."

    All in all, the art looks machine made and is largely non-illustrative. The 'concepts' or 'ideas' present are mostly simple-minded effusions presented as if they were philosophical insights.

    because it is machine made :) this is how most storyboards are done today for commercials or something simple. all this list can be done in 30 minutes. it would mean nothing if idea was nice, but sadly it's just google searched quotes.
