I'm especially hyped on this exhibit because my health journey started with tending to my mental health, and those tools continue to serve me every day.
While I still have hard times, I'm in a much much better place than I was 2 decades ago -- I never thought I'd live with this little generalized anxiety and depression, but I guess it really can get better. :dustSprite: ✨
And though sometimes mental/physical health is a helpful shorthand, our brains are part of our bodies, and our mental health impacts other areas of our body. I'm really glad to share some impacts of multi-systemic illness and art as therapy in an exhibit about therapy and mental health.
The piece in particular that was chosen, starts with physical symptoms, then cognitive/mental/emotional symptoms, and finally social and systemic systems, which feels especially apt for it.
