Description
Alright let me try and explain this. I wasn't even sure about posting it at first since it's very personal...but after reading this: [link] I felt I should share it. Please read that, it's very well written...and a wonderful message. If you ever feel alone in whatever problem you have, please don't.Anyway I was asked to draw this, in specific I was asked to draw what it feels like to be trapped and running from something, and what you're running to. In my case the thing that's trapping me is my OCD (those dark hands reaching out) and what I'm running to (which always feels out of reach) are the things I'd like to do: art, animation, getting more involved in speaking up for issues that matter to me.
Also sort of a follow up to this: [link]
PS: If you have nothing nice to say please don't say anything, thank you.

I feel like I comment on almost everything of yours, sorry if it bothers you
I just can't stop staring at this though... I dunno. It just struck a chord with me.
I have a recurring theme in my art recently with this creepy black cloud of... awful things so I guess it reminded me of that lol. I shall leave it at that.

Here's one that's kinda old. That's about all the creepy thing is though, sometimes it's winding itself around a character and sort of seeping into their skin O.o
Kinda creeps me out sometimes lol.

Glad you shared it. I read that journal and I understand firsthand some of the things mentioned in it. That's all I'll say, along with yeah, you aren't alone. :]

Thanks; yeah that post had me crying, I totally "get it". It's a comfort to know you're not alone, one of the things that's kept me holding on in fact; that's why I felt I should share this.

it's nice to know there are still good people like you out there fighting the good fight. they didn't have names for whatever it is i have when i was growing up and the remedy was generally a backhand.
...
oh.
now i know why i became a boxer in the first place.
wonderful art, as usual. powerful message and never preachy. it's a hard mix but you always pull it off with grace

Thanks so much I never really understood I had OCD as a kid but looking back at all the little "things" I did even then it's pretty obvious.
Thank you again for the kind words, really appreciate it
