My idea for this Gif is based on mental illness and it’s effect on the individual. One aspect of anxiety I decided to discuss was insomnia and over-analysing. We see someone about to have a good night sleep, but they are bombarded by their own worries and thoughts.
But what I’m investigating is whether the labelling of these ‘mental illnesses’ is what’s causing the stigma. People with or without mental illnesses are really not all that different. Life experiences causes phases of unpleasantness. Everyone goes through periods of stress that can keep us up at night. We should accept that not being okay is normal and that we shouldn’t focus on the ‘diagnosis’.
(UPDATE)
I have edited the work slightly since publishing this project here. I have updated the character, added textures and made other tiny adjustments. So, now I am adding the final product.
