    I painted a stormy ocean during a really rough week last month. It felt like all my anxiety was crashing around inside me, just like those waves. Art lets me “say” what I can’t explain in words. Does anyone else draw when they’re overwhelmed?

    I doodle in my journal when I’m upset. The swirls and shapes kind of help me calm down. I once drew a rose with broken petals when I was sad about losing a friend. I didn’t show anyone, but it helped me feel lighter inside.

    I’ve been journaling with doodles for years. One page shows a girl curled up inside a flower—that was how I felt with social anxiety. Art gave me a voice when I couldn’t speak up in real life.
