My Timeline.

Okay, so I don't remember my life very well.

All the memories just mash together & I have no idea what age I was when things happened.

I think I've figured out a little mental health timeline that occurs between age 13 & my current age (23).

I was a pretty quirky child. I was weird & dramatic. 

I still am weird & dramatic don't get me wrong, but something strange happened when I was 14.

I often felt sick in my stomach & I started having anxiety attacks. 

I started to feel sick every day.

I started to have anxiety attacks every week.

Then I started to shut down.

I was overwhelmed by everything.

Then I got really bad.

Somewhere around this time I cut my hair.

Then I was on antidepressants

Then I didn't feel anything anymore.

Not depressed. 

Not anxious. 

Not sick. 

Not happy. 

Never excited. 

Not content. 

Nothing. 

I was on antidepressants for a couple of years.

Then I decided I was ready to feel things again.

A couple of years later, I started to think back on the fuzzy memory-blob of years I was depressed...

Then I started to draw cartoons about it.

The more I draw, the more I slowly understand what was happening to me.
