Every day for one year, Missy Douglas, an artist with bipolar disorder, painted what she felt. Here are a few of her paintings.
Day 177. "I was really in a dark place here. I was completely in a depressive phase."
Day 236. "I was burying feelings and my emotions were all over the place. Very turbulent."
Day 242. "I was at the height of mania here, but there was a massive wave of white depression heading towards me."
Day 314 – Mania. "I was buzzing and everything was technicolor and beautiful. I was flying and felt invincible."
Day 359 - Christmas Day 2013. "I was feeling very depressed yet I completely compartmentalised and concealed it. The twinkly forced jollity hid the sadness."
Day 5. "I was really anxious, angry and feeling trapped."
