During the first Lockdown and the months leading up to it, we had one upheaval after another. Big Deal upheavals too and I thought that I was actually doing really well throughout. It wasn't until I looked back over the things that I was doing at the time that I realised how muddled I was. Put simply, art helped. It helped me to heal and it helped me to see the change in my mental health then and now. I would never have believed it if I had not seen it, lived out in my sketchbook. I thought that I was fine.
I wasn't sure whether to share or not and I put this off for ages but I thought that I am certainly not the only one and if watching this can help someone else, then it is worth making just for that one person.
So here it is, my journey and how I can look back over the pages and see how far I have come.
Has art helped you at all? If you have tried everything else, perhaps this is the way for you too.
