About the project

“Self Care” is a self-initiated social project, consisting of 12 illustrated posters dedicated to showing ways to take care of oneself in depression:

1. Start And End Your Day With Yourself
2. Let Yourself Rest
3. Go Outside
4. Eat Well
5. Be Active
6. Set Achievable Goals
7. Limit Information Intake
8. Find Your People
9. Continue To Do What You Used To Love
10. Be Your Own Friend
11. Talk To A Psychotherapist
12. Try Something New

Each poster describes one strategy to alleviate the symptoms of depression and help yourself bring back a life that has meaning.
I came up with the idea for these posters when I realized how often we tend to overlook the effects of little day-to-day choices on our wellbeing in the long run: how excessive expectations lay as a burden on our shoulders; the absence of a filter floods us with anxiety and existential dread; poor nutrition aids lack of energy and worsens our physical health. The choices one finds in the “Self Care” project can grow into habits and gradually shoot one into an upward spiral.

My hope is for this project to serve as a reminder for the ones searching for the ultimate solution that it consists of many baby steps instead of one giant leap. And that making those steps regularly will cover a vast distance towards something we can call “the life that’s worth living”. 

As with “Toxic Support” project I partnered with the Anxiety and Depression Association of America and am immensely grateful for their support!
