mental-illness

Being open about my history with mental illness has given me the power to understand and better come to terms with it.

“I’ve never understood the separations of genres into tragedy and comedy. I move in and out of tragedy and comedy all the time.”

The winter is cold and dark and unlike everyone else on Instagram, you are not on holiday somewhere south and sunny.

“I tried to kill myself in the fall of 2011, swallowing sleeping pills and antifreeze.”

A simple “Good morning” or “How are you?” can mean so much. You never know what someone’s dealing with on any given day.

Hard Feelings will feature eight local artists (inc. Frizz Kid, Heidi Cho, Pocket Club and more) whose work intersects with mental health in some regard.
