If you are still reading, I'll do you the courtesy of explaining myself.
As you may have guessed I have depression. It has been making my life a misery for a very long time now and my behaviour has hurt my family too. Today has been particularly awful and I am now holed up in the spare room trying to deal with my feelings. Looking around I noticed an old note book full of graphpaper. I picked it up and looked at the old notes from meetings and doodles. I am very much a doodler and, feeling the urge to doodle rising at the sight of many blank pages, I searched for, and found, a pen.
I started to scribble away, just letting the pen scrawl across the page and, as I did this, I had an idea. I thought that, if I drew a picture of myself and how I felt, may be it would make me feel a bit better through catharsis. So I set to work and was very pleased to find it had the desired effect. Here it is.

Cartoony, I agree, but I believe it shows my sense of panic and guilt quite well. I think this is my equivalent of a Messerschmidt head. A way of expressing my inner feelings and try to excorcise a few of my inner demons. You probably think it's rubbish
