Inspiration: I speak frequently about my struggles with mental health, but I don't talk about my experience with chronic pain nearly as often. Chronic pain can come in many forms, but for me, it's affected me in two main areas. I was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) in my late 20s, which affects my entire body. Then, in 2019, a routine dental procedure caused nerve damage and “burning mouth syndrome,” from which I’ve suffered every day since. Chronic pain may be invisible, but it’s very powerful. Some days, it's all-consuming.

I share this because there is stigma around sharing our struggles. I don't like stigma. Whether it's physical pain or mental anguish, it deserves to be talked about. You deserve to be seen. My hope is that by being open about my own struggles, it will help others. Maybe it will encourage you to seek help, to educate yourself, or even to become more aware of the struggles others experience. All of this leads to more compassion.

Art is my lifeboat. With art, I can live my life instead of letting it happen to me. It carries me through my day when I am hurting. I don’t know what I would do without it. I can thank art for helping me thrive when I’m not in pain. This painting is an anthem for people with chronic pain.
