Not Sure What This Is

I think I may be a little dissociated. I drew this in the last hour but I can’t remember what my thought process was or what I was trying to say. I’m still not sure what to make of it except that I’m pretty dark...

Hmm.... Interesting. Let me first start by saying, I'm sorry you are feeling dissociated. :( I can see that reflected in your piece here. From what you know about me, I am deeply interested in deciphering the meaning in of works of art. Also, please know these are solely my observations.. 🧐

I'm assuming the red areas are inflammation, tension, or pain you are feeling radiating through your body. The black ribcage (and possibly sternum) seem like to represent the darkness you are feeling inside, especially as the structure encaging your heart... which is the figurative center of your emotions. The black scribbles... may be the swirl and chaos of anxiety and emotional pain you're feeling causing the dissociation you mentioned. Just observations from the outside looking in. I could be totally wrong. 🙃

Very interesting though. I'm glad you are using art to express your feelings and state of being. I find it to be such a helpful outlet myself.

Sitting with you if okay :console:❤️

Your pretty good at deciphering... I literally can’t remember what my point was but i guess it doesnt matter. I got it out on paper.

I have drawn some things while dissociated that I don’t even remember drawing parts of...so it makes sense to not know what you meant by it. Wanted you to know I’m here and sitting with you if that’s ok

I really connect with imagery sometimes more than words. So I appreciate when a person chooses art to communicate their feelings. It feels so organic.

I'm glad you were able to get it out on paper. I'm also glad you are finding art as a way to communicate your pain over other harmful ways. I get it and connect with you on that.

Sending safe hugs :hug:
