My Mental Illness

After developing a mental illness at the age of 23 years old, and I’ve been with this illness for 6 years, I’m finally more recovered after sticking with my prescribed medications. I had several revelations in those years and in the present day, I’m not hearing many voices anymore. I still need to be on my medications, as recommended by psychiatrists or else it might recur again. I was told it’s necessary to take this medication for most of my life; I haven’t been without it since 6 years ago. I’m glad now, family problems are going away. 

I’m trying to stick to working on my art and not quitting, but I can only paint without any distractions. Artists on both Instagram and Twitter inspire me to continue this new hobby. I don’t normally have a hobby; I just found it last month.
