Mental Health

Updated: Aug 5, 2023


Dermatillomania is a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder. Sufferers compulsively rub or scratch their skin. It's a little-known OCD, yet it's associated with a number of well-known psychological ailments. I've tried to express my feelings about dermatillomania by creating poetic, abstract art.

"A swirl of uncertainty hovers at my fingertips."

 

Lyrics - Mental health and dermatillomania


You're so plastic and that's tragic Just for you I don't know what the hell you gonna do When your looks start depleting And your friends all start leaving You're so plastic and that's tragic Just for you
I feel like I'm drowning I'm drowning You're holding me down and Holding me down You're killing me slow So slow, oh-no I feel like I'm drowning I'm drowning

Poem


"Blessed are the hearts, the hearts of blood!

Their beats can be heard;

And arms! They can stretch out their arms,

To possess themselves by embracing.


Blessed also are the fingers! They touch;

And eyes! They see. Blessed are the bodies!

They have peace when they lie down,

And nothingness when they are dead."


René-François Sully Prudhomme (1869)
