I have been dealing with anxiety nearly my whole life, but I was just diagnosed with depression and borderline personality disorder last year. I'm currently in recovery for my mental illnesses, and I have been using art to help me through it. One thing I have done is draw how I'm feeling in my therapy journal. It had helped me express myself.
 
I have been making art since I was 12 years old. I started by teaching myself and looking at tutorials online on how to drawing simple things. Besides taking art classes in high school, I have taught myself how to do most of the art I make today. I enjoy everything from drawing to painting, and I have even started to get into costume design and making, which is a new type of art for me to do. I want to pursue art as a career someday.
