If you have a second, please share my post.

I am sharing my GoFundMe since times are really hard for me right now.

In 2006, at the age of 12, I was admitted to a youth psychiatric ward in Germany. Instead of finding help for my depression, I became a victim of abuse. My mind locked these traumatic experiences away behind a thick "fog" for nearly two decades to ensure my survival. Only now, at age 32, has the fog finally lifted during intensive trauma therapy.

This realization has brought my life to a complete standstill. I am currently unable to work, struggling to survive on a very small medical allowance (870 € / month), while also being burdened by a 13,000 € student loan and therapy which I have to pay by myself since it’s so hard to find therapy in Germany right now. My medical benefits are set to expire in August 2026.

I’ve decided to start a GoFundMe to buy myself the time and safety I need to heal without the crushing pressure of existence. Every bit of support gives me room to breathe.

Thank you for your time, your empathy, and for letting me share my voice.

The silence of a disconnected connection. ☎️

I've been working on a series called Depression x Art, exploring the heavy, hollow feelings that are often hard to put into words. This first piece, "I'm a Dead Line," is inspired by 1960s noir and the feeling of being off the hook while the world keeps ringing.

Hand-drawn in Procreate. High-resolution prints are now available in my shops.

The record is scratched, but the song stays the same. 🎧🥀

I’ve been working on a new series called "Depression x Art". A visual exploration of the quiet, repetitive, and often heavy cycles of mental health.

Part 1: "I’m a Dead Line" About the deafening silence and the feeling of being cut off from the world.

Part 2: "I’m a Broken Record" About the endless loop of sadness and the thoughts that keep spinning without an exit.

Both pieces were hand-drawn in Procreate, inspired by mid-century vintage noir and old movie posters. I wanted to turn these heavy feelings into something tangible, something you can hang on your wall to remind yourself that you’re not alone in the loop.

Support the series:

You can get high-res digital prints of both posters on my Gumroad. It’s "Pay what you want", starting at just 6€.
