Mighty cool. As per usual. I'd love to hear the story behing it.

Thank you very much. This is basically about the problems I am going through recently with my mental illness. Without wanting to go into too much detail I am having a lot of disturbing thoughts which aren't very pleasant. I suppose the easiest way for me to explain it is that it's like having a demon inside your mind which keeps trying to influence your thoughts. It's not very nice.

I wasn't aware it's this personal and I am truly sorry. Are there chances you might get better? I'll be cheering for you.

Anyway... it seems kinda cruel but at least there's merit in the whole thing if it makes you create such wonderful pieces. I know how fucked-up it sounds. I apologize. May I ask whether art makes you cope with the condition better or make it more bearable? Or is it just "a thing" to make time pass by more quickly?

I'm not too sure if I can get better, there's a possibility. I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder which is a form of schizophrenia so the prognosis isn't great. I've read that recovery is possible but it's not something that happens quickly.

No need to apologise, I feel the same way. I have a lot of battles in my head about the subject of getting better. Part of me would like it all to go away and to be able to lead a more normal life, but the more dominant side of me wants to stay this way. Comfort in chaos. I am also convinced that my boost in creativity in recent years is due to my condition so there is a worry that if I get better then my artwork will suffer. I suppose that might sound strange to some people but my artwork is pretty much everything to me.

I lived with a guy who has a similar diagnosis (F 60.3 if I remember correctly) for a time. Not the most pleasant thing in the world. Anyway... I hope you manage to overcome it. Even if you have to give up a part of your art. It's just not worth it imho.

I just wanted to state that you are one of the artists I watch on dA with a very high degree of individuality and an interesting personality. Keep your spirit up! I support you at least.
