Living with Anxiety-The Harvey Dent effect
Uploaded: April 01, 2016 20:16:09 | Entered: February 02, 2018 15:52:09
I did these pictures to help deal with my Anxiety disorder. I am not done yet but I feel better already coming out with my condition and talking with others who share in the difficulties. My anxiety is this Androgynous creature skulking around me. Always there. The colored areas represent the parts that are still Me, while the black and white areas show how much the Anxiety has taken over my life. A lot of heavy editing was used to make myself look like a horrible creature. Shot with my Nikon D7100

Very powerful, emotional image. I've been drawn back to it several times. This tells a brave story, one I'm sure will help other people who also suffer from anxiety. #1653693JO ANN CLEVELAND April 02, 2016

Thank you Christine. It helped me a lot to face what I have and make these pictures. I hope they can help others as well. #11455720Jake Stanton April 02, 2016
