I was diagnosed with major depression when I was 15 and the first antidepressant I was put on was Zoloft. It helped at first and I started feeling less sad. Then after a while, I started feeling less of EVERYTHING. I was numb, locked in, detached from myself but felt like I had to keep taking the pills because my depression was a burden to those around me. I still feel like it’s a burden but I’m on a much better medication now that allows me to still feel my feelings without getting consumed by the dark ones. This painting is a commentary of what it's like to struggle with depression in a society that stigmatizes such existential emotions.
