Moderator Emeritus ChessieCat Posted June 13, 2019 Moderator Emeritus Share Posted June 13, 2019 (edited) Quote Our minds are such complicated mazes, we sometimes need help navigating them. After artist Kate Allan, who was struggling with her mental health, felt the impact of therapy, she decided to pass on some of the things she learned. The author of the book You Can Do All Things created a series of illustrations that are perfect for those days when your brain goes into complete overdrive to the point where you feel you just can't. https://www.boredpanda.com/depressed-artist-illustrations-anxiety I love these. I'm sure you will find one or two that resonate with you.
