I truly thought I was going to die.
This is the first artwork I’ve made since I woke up from my almost four month coma.
My family stepped in, deciding to take the chance to save me after all.
I’ve only just relearned to walk since my muscles slightly atrophied over the course of the coma—though I still tremble some.
This artwork took longer to make than my works before the coma since my hand obviously wasn’t used, which you might be able to tell by the shaky brushstrokes. I’ve only been “up” since the end of July, only beginning to regain my senses.
For the story behind this artwork, basically, it’s meant to represent the time I first woke up and truly realized that I was still alive. I decided to paint myself as a “shadow” figure since it was like I was in a weird void for what seemed like an infinite amount of time—like I’m restarting almost as a blank slate. I could barely move my body due to the atrophy of my muscles, and I could not even speak, hence why I don’t have a mouth in this piece. My eyes are shot open because of the sensation of pain that seemed to blank my mind for a moment.
But yet, the bright light from the ceiling lights above me showed everything kind of coming back—mentally at least, and slowly, but coming back.
I still suffer from my chronic illness, but hope isn’t completely lost.
I’m not sure where I’ll really go from here. Uploads are definitely going to be slow as I recover. I’m not sure about my future—or even how long it will actually be—or how to deal with this situation.
Even while writing this, I still feel some pain—but thankfully, it’s not as bad as when I first woke up. My body is still damaged, but there’s been at least some repairing.
Even though this isn’t ideal, I’ll admit—I’m still happy to be alive.

It’s been an extremely difficult situation—almost as if I’ve been cursed. The whole situation’s been weird, as I somehow felt I deserved it…
But in truth, no one “deserves” to have a freaking chronic illness like this.
I still feel pain, but it declines little by little everyday.
Thank you for caring

It’s been a very rough journey—at first, I had to have literally everything done for me—even going to the bathroom—as if I was a baby.
But now, I’ve regained the ability to do more things.
Thank you so much for caring! I feel hope now, and I’m excited to make new artwork/writing

I thought I was going to die, too—but they put me into a comatose state in an attempt to save me—which thankfully worked.
I’m glad to be back! These past few months have been a rough, bad dream—that’s still kind of going on with some of the pain I’m still feeling.
I’m excited to draw stuff again! It may be a bit slower than before, but now, I really want to put more detail into my artworks. Before, I was kind of more focused on speed and efficiency—but now, I want to put more time into them.
I’m glad to hear from you again in what seems like such a long time

It was very strange… like an odd dream in retrospect, except for the fact that I didn’t really “dream.” It felt like I was in a weird, empty void for what seemed like an eternity… but yet at the same time, it felt like I was “awake,” yet somehow non-existent at the same time… it’s very hard to describe
