For now today is enough.

Through rough patches, it's important to remember all the little things that make life good, and to seize on them and still have hope that things will improve, as well as staying in the moment and trying to enjoy life as much as possible. A mental health journey is never linear, and it's important to embrace the good times despite the bad. This is digital art, overlaid with a free-to-use font.

Mental health has always been a struggle throughout my life. My diagnosis of Type One Diabetes in 2017 only elevated this existing issue, leading to BPD later in 2021. I appreciate that the pieces for this exhibition are required to not be distressing, but mental illness is distressing. Everyone seems to love supporting the mentally ill, until they show that they're not well.

The clouds cover her through the darkness and hold her tight until the morn, with the suns kiss, away they gently go. This piece was created through digital media. It represents the hope in the hopeless and waiting through the dreary for a brighter time.

Digital painting, Procreate / iPad. My painting is about coming to terms with my loneliness, depression & anxiety. While being fully present with it. Remembering that tomorrow will come, today will go. The only time we truly have is now. So why should I worry about things that don't matter? The sun will set, the sun will rise. I will enjoy its' beauty by embracing it no matter what. ~Daniel.

This piece is a digital artwork. This artwork represents my experiences of ill mental health. I wanted this artwork to speak to how mental health often doesn’t always look the same to people on the outside as it does to the person experiencing it. I have often felt like I’m trapped and unable to move forward with my recovery journey.

Sad Days

I have seen brighter days... It is about people who have lost their joy in life and are prone to depression but are not letting themselves down... They are willing to fight to get their joy back
