Living with Anxiety-The Harvey Dent effect

Description

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. #1653693
