i kinda slapped colour on a sketch i scanned, i think that's still digital.

i came up with this character maybe.. 5 or 6 years ago
they never had a name, and are part of a made-up species

at the time i was terrified that i was losing my sanity
because i didn't recognise that depression isn't just sadness
it is also depersonalisation and lines between reality and dreams blurring
it is losing time and and spending hours curled up in the bottom of the shower
it is missing work and school and trying not to cry in public and learning how to hide it
i didn't know that wasn't just me
