Hello everyone, I’ve been away for some time while I try and recover from both mental and physical exhaustion…but I’m hoping to be back soon. To everyone struggling with their health and feeling broken…I feel you, and I’m sending you strength to endure. More about my journey coming soon. #mentalillness #MentalHealthAwareness #SuicidePrevention #eds #mcas #chronicillness #chronicpain

Just wow. Art books are my unbreakable habit, but when they’re this gorgeous it’s easy to see why. Beautiful studies of human form and stunning scenery by @samdoesarts. So much inspiration. #digitalart #DigitalArtist

Sharing one of my favorite descriptions of POTS for POTS awareness day. Dr. Jeffrey Boris, a pediatric cardiologist at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia says: "To imagine POTS for yourself: number one, fast for 24 hours; number two, donate a pint of your blood; number three, go home and turn your thermostat up to 100 degree, number four, stand motionless. Enjoy the symptoms"

For anyone suffering as a result of #mentalillness, #overwhelm, #stress, #isolation and everything else that ruins a brain, please know that you aren’t alone and help is out there. Speak to someone you trust, or if that’s not possible then try contacting one of the organisations on my #mentalhealth and #suicideprevention support lines page. There’s no shame in speaking up and asking for help and these charities understand. Take care ❤️ creativesteph.co.uk/mental-h…

More #charcoal #illustration, which has honestly helped over the last couple of weeks. I’m balancing joint dislocation, #chronicpain, #mcas and #mentalillness and some days it’s impossible, but on the better days I have a go at this and feel a bit useful and hopeful.

Going back to trying eyes in #illustration. This took me a while (believe it or not) but it’s a huge improvement on my last attempt a couple of years ago.

Today is World Smile Day, but not every smile reflects happiness. Sometimes, a smile can hide anxiety, depression, or struggles that are hard to talk about. Check in with your loved ones, because sometimes behind the brightest smiles, there might be a need for support 💙

Our survey of over 1,000 GPs found that 40 per cent of all appointments involve mental health, and that most believe the number of people needing support with their mental health increased over the last year. bit.ly/2LtgUn1

About time the arts were better understood as part of the recovery toolkit. Being creative is one of the best ways we can distract ourselves from the difficulties of every day life, supporting our #mentalhealth in the process.
So glad to see #SocialPrescribing on this list bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm28… By offering art-based activities, we're helping people improve mental well-being, and connect with community. A powerful example of how the arts can support the NHS and enhance lives. #CreativeHealth

My latest #charcoal #illustration was a request from my daughter. #patrick is one of her favourite #spongebob characters, so I used a line art picture as a reference then added my own light and shade with the charcoals. Remember I’m new to this, so please be kind! #drawing #artist #artmoots #artshare #ArtistOntwitter #artist #artists #charcoaldrawing
