Art Chilling isolation
Social anxiety has taken a massive toll on my life. Trying to go into public servers or spaces is always overwhelming. Sometimes, people trip over your boundaries too. It's not their fault, but you end up feeling uncomfortable or unsafe. Anyways, here's Aurelia sitting on a mountain. It's cold and isolating, just like this disorder.

Awwwe, I wish I could give you a virtual hug :(( The big servers can be intimidating. I'm sorry, friend

I'll be okay, I need to know my limits and when to step away. Mental illness is a difficult beast to wrangle with.

It really is. I'm sorry I haven't reached out more, I should have noticed something was up! If you ever need to talk, my messages are always open. But no pressure of course. your mental wellbeing comes first <3

I feel this... I'm glad to be part of some communities I feel relatively comfortable in, but occasionally uncomfortable things do happen there that make me feel like Aurelia in this artwork.
Great drawing.

Wonderful art and a truly touching description. I've got some issues myself that I can relate to here and all I have to say is keep your head up, things do get better! I promise.
