*More DBT guides here*
If you’re living with BPD like I am you know that stability is hard to achieve and even harder to stick to on a daily basis. DBT skills are a vital part of us getting through the ups, downs, rages and triggers, with as little collateral damage, or damage to ourselves, as possible. After going through DBT group therapy I decided to start making my own guide graphics for the skills because there simply weren’t enough cute visuals available. I often think that something has to be aesthetically pleasing for us to pay attention, and for me that means lots of colors! I make these graphics, using Photoshop and DBT skill print outs that are easily found with a google search. I also think the less clinical language can go a long way💗
*I’m not a licensed clinician or therapist, I’m a woman who’s been battling her BPD for over 16 years. Thankfully, with the help of many professionals, supportive family and friends, and some key reading, I’ve survived past the “average life expectancy” for BPD, which is 27 years of age. I’ve been practicing DBT on and off over the years, at times finding it hard to use and unhelpful in moments of distress. Only this year, after my second hospitalization, did I find the right info to finally understand how it should work and it clicked. I still struggle with the daily triggers, bouts of depression, and the feelings of emptiness, but I do find that I’m able to survive it all because the DBT skills have actually sunk in. I’m also very aware that therapy is a privilege that many can’t access, and sadly even when you can, BPD is a tough thing to diagnose, treat properly, and get the help you need. So now I’m just trying to spread the understanding, help others figure out how DBT can work, and of course, breakdown the stigma associated with BPD.

Made this a while ago, wanted a Swiftie phone background that made me feel hopeful and reminded me to breathe💗
These mascots as main characters' companions share many things in common lol 😅 (I used another app to draw this so the colouring method seem different from my previous works)
While I’m currently still working on the comic to finish “Misguided Letter” pt. 2, here are some Profile Portraits I’ve made for Tyler and Tiffany for the Character Profile that I’ve also been working for my story plot on Milanote. More will be made, as soon as I develop more character for this project 💙💜📇📝

Dr. Meredith Rodney McKay
my beloved
He was my favorite character of all favorite characters I’ve ever had, his throne was toppled recently by Skippy the Magnificent, who is literally McKay with ADHD and the power to go along with his god complex. These two are the same.
can’t be bothered to finish lol. Maybe someday.
progress! trying to remember how to do this again
it's been like a year since i did anything digital
Tumblr is probably gonna butcher the quality but hey that's fine
Anyways here's a thing I just finished for my brother
I'm going to bed now, the sun is rising :>
I did a thing!
Behold! A sleeping Toothless in a glass(?) sphere!
I had fun with some brushes I haven't tried before. :D
I don't use Photoshop/Creative Cloud but this absolutely ridiculous so I'm reposting in case anyone happens to see it
Adobe is going to spy on your projects. This is insane.
Hi, I haven't posted in an incredibly long time. But I made some Fanart for In Stars and Time :)
... and I've got some doodles of the main characters I also want to share :)
I played it on switch, and beat the entire game in roughly four days. Then beat the prologue the next day. Needless to say it has consumed my brain.
Trying to get the hang of Adobe fresco lol
