Pyjama Years: Surviving Anxiety, Depression and Panic

In watercolour, I have painted self-portraits of some of the imagery I remember from my Pyjama Years.
In the beginning I had Pyjama Days.
I felt down and just wanted a break from the world. I would take a day or two, collect myself and then get back to life. Days changed into weeks then months. I isolated myself, didn’t get the help I needed.
I hope my exhibition adds to the growing awareness and understanding of Anxiety and Depression.
This is my story, but it’s not unique, in Australia 1 in 6 people have experienced depression.
