safe, a new zine
Recently, I began the journey of compiling all of my comics and artwork surrounding the experience of living with a mental health condition. When I was in fourth grade, I was diagnosed with OCD. So began my journey to cope and living a healthy life amidst the overwhelming pressure of what-ifs. Through it all, the main comfort I found was a sense of community through vulnerability. And so I began to make art about my experience. This zine is for you no matter who you are, whether you have OCD or not, so that together we may find a path forward through the dark.
