Exploring the hardest time in my life... in 1.6 scale
Depression sucks. ADHD sucks. BPD sucks.
This summer, following the hardest break up of my life, I received a diagnosis for Borderline Personality Disorder. Borderline Personality Disorder is a mental health condition marked by unstable emotions, self-image, and relationships, often leading to intense mood swings and fear of abandonment. While I've been dealing with mental health issues all my life, getting a diagnosis like this has been extremely difficult to navigate, especially while going through a break up. Due to all of the stigma around this disorder, I wanted to explore it through the world of Barbie. The doll used in these images is actually a custom made doll that I made specifically to look like me, to show my personal struggles through this time. Unfortunately, coupled with my ADHD, my depression manifests in a disgusting mess both in who I am as a human being and the surroundings I live in. This is something I am actively working on, as I have been spending more time in therapy than ever before in my life. This is one of the most difficult things I've ever had to live through, but I'm getting through it one day at a time.
