Anxious Inklings

Hi guys,

 

Not sure if you are familiar with my blog of cartoons done while going through Benzo withdrawal. If you are not here is a link:

http://anxiousinklings.com

 

I am in the process of creating a book for of these drawings. I have over 130. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

Best,

VA :)

Your drawings are pretty the only thing that makes me smile atm!

 

Thank you!

Thanks Adjusta,

 

A smile is the main goal!!

 

Here's to healing!!!

I love them! I think if I were to show them to family members they’d be able to relate to the feelings and thoughts conveyed. Seeing a collection and knowing my daily struggles for months on end would help them get a better idea of what I and so many others here have been/are going through.

Thanks Seltzerer,

 

SO glad they help and I hope they will help your family understand as well!!!

 

Best,

VA

Yes, I, too, love your work, vaartist! Great stuff!

Vaartist, I cannot survive without your drawings!!! Would you lend me some for my book I am writing? no one can ever describe in words what you are with your drawings! You understand our life so well that sometimes I find it spooky!!!!!!

Like that "fragile" one!! I just thought that day: God, I am so fragile, if something happens today I will die! and bam, in the evening I a looking up your website and see that drawing?!!!!

 

GET OUT OF MY MIND! -- noooooo! Please stayyyyyy ;D ;D

 

You are a genius! Thank you so  so so much..

There's one that shows our hero and Stu and everyone/everything flying around as if they're in a tornado. It's one of my favourites! "We're Not In Kansas Anymore!" It's perfect for what's happening in my body with this crazy dizziness.

Thanks Marigold, you're too kind. Let me know which pieces you would want for your book.

 

I am still dealing with the horrible intrusive thoughts at month 16. So ready to be done with all of this!.

Sorry I'm late in adding to this; I haven't been on BB for weeks. Each of your drawings is worth a thousand words in describing this hideous condition.  Despite what you're going through, you have a very fertile mind and your creativity is astounding.  I am very thankful for Anxious Inklings.

Many thanks, Simon!!

Ditto. I'm rarely on here but fortunately came across a post where your site was linked. The one where you're walking and say to your dog excitingly that you might be in a window.. you only sort of feel like you're dying while there's a massive wave about to crash on you... Good stuff.

I am so glad that you are compiling your artwork into a book. 

 

You have such a wonderful gift of expression.

Your doodles do bring comfort and humor to us - but I can see them educating others down the road too.  I hope that, once it is published, that copies find their ways into the hands of prescribers & patients alike ... a friendly warning to stay away from the perils of these medications.

 

I’m sorry you are still suffering.

Thanks for the kind words.

 

Here's to healing for everyone!! :)

Hi Vaartist. I really like your artwork. A picture is worth a thousand words. What an excellent way to convey the way we feel in benzo hell.

Vaartist, how are you doing? No post or doodle in almost a year.

Those are awesome!!! You are very talented!

He posted one recently.

I love your drawings also - very creative and so apt for what we're experiencing!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Love your work too Vaartist-it really tells it like it is and still brings a much needed smile to my face.  Thank you for sharing your drawings, and hope you have a good window very soon!

Thinking of you...hoping you are healing. 

Me too.
