Mental Illness
As someone who has anxiety and depression, I found the most theraputic way to manage it was though photography. Whenever I would start to feel anxious for depressed I always got the urge to be more creative. Using photography really helped me get though my darkest times.therapeutic Most people don't realize how many people live with mental illness every day, especially in college. As senior in college and I found it an extremely difficult emotionally just to get though a day sometimes. Most people picture college as a happy party atmosphere, and for some people it is, but for others it feels like you're living in someone else's skin just going through the motions.
These photos are representations of different mental illnesses and how people deal with them. I mostly used the same model to show how one person can go through mental illness, to show her journey. I also took these pictures in my door room to represent how college students live with mental illness every day.
