First of, I really like your artwork! Very inspiring. Reminds me of a cross between Francis Bacon, Dali and frida kohl's style of surrealism.

However, I am worried about your mental health. You drawings have alot of text that seems like it written based on past struggles of genuine mental illness and not the pretending looking for attention kind. Also I know that self harm is a theme in your work but I hope it desont reflect what you do irl.

Idk what to do or how to help but I hope things work out??

wow! i feel like no one sends me questions on this any-more (probably because i don:t advertise it at all any-more); first: hello, anonymous; i appreciate the compliments -- i like frida kahlo, she scared me a-bunch in highschool because of the veins (couldn:t stand looking at several of her paintings without feeling nauseous and weak).
to your other stuff: i don:t really know what you are referring to; a handful of my fans are really set-around the "turb" era of art where there-is more writing and more flagrant destruction -- but that was ~two(?) years ago; it:s been about ~1.5 years since i:ve self-harmed, i think? (or: self-mutilation, more specifically; and even-more encompassing: when i decided to do-away with 'lucifer-logic' and aggregate server prescriptions (meaning: defining the self under logical community understandable terms (classifying the self as self-destructive, mentally ill, the logics of psychiatry, the language of psychiatry, the logics of community, of friends, of groups, of etcetera--everything outside of the holy and the gaps where logic /is not/ and where logic /seeks/ to erode and cauterize))). mostly though, all of the writing/art from that era was based on pretty-real stuff (the scars are my scars; if i drew self-harm it was likely cataloguing what-it-looked like). my more recent stuff is pretty lite on text, sans some collaging ~early this year about harming animals. my recent stuff is pretty lite, in general, as i don:t really do much at all any-more sides lay in bed and waste; go to church and pray; clean the house; learn to cook; read and read; &c. i:m mostly just an old tired sick normie now.
to your last thing: send me money so i can spend it on groceries and books >:-)) but more importantly: you shouldn:t feel like it is your responsibility to help 'hurt-seeming' strangers online (even if they are really hurting). a life spent unraveling and going-crazy is as vibrant and bright as any-other. but i do like getting money to get books and groceries all the same :-) but it:s up to mara to help mara, ultimately.

so: take care, anonymous, and just-the-same: it:s up to you, to help 'you,' too!
