Description
This drawing was one of my first after my brief stint in the United States Navy. I was released from bootcamp due to having severe migraine pains from what they diagnosed me having General Anxiety and OCD, which is part of Anxiety. They had recommended that I seek help from a neurpsych when I got back home to my hometown of Canton, Ohio after my flight from bootcamp separations in Chicago, Illinois. This was back in May of 2011. I had these migraines and other mental problems or disorders since the summer of 2005 when I thought I had a stroke after I started my new career in the electrical apprenticeship a year after I had received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree in Photography and a minor in Commercial Photography as well as an emphasis in painting and fine art. After I had received my college degree in May of 2004, I had worked for several photographer's as well as other jobs but started searching for a career change when the art career seemed bleak at best near my hometown of Canton, Ohio. Since I was trying to start a family, I changed career. However, my anxiety supposedly got out of control causing me to have severe migraines to the point that I became suicidal because I had thought I had become brain dead. Anyways, after 5 years of disparity, job loss, divorce, and a very depressing life, I decided to seek one last final hope in the military where they would either help heal my problems or I'd die trying to be a hero. Well, when I was discharged after my diagnoses because the other recruits were concerned about my pains, I was told to visit the Naval doctor, who eventually sent me to the Naval psychologist who was very concerned about my mental situation. In the Navy separations building, I turned to drawing my surroundings as my therapy, which I wanted to continue once I got back home to my parents house. My dad had set up a studio but before I could really get going my family talked me into going to the Crisis Center to seek help because they were concerned about my severe depression even though I only wanted to use art as my therapy. I just wanted to get onto disability and do art until I died because art is one of the only joys in my life besides my 10 year old pug which I call my only child. When I was in the Crisis Center for a month, I continued drawing my surroundings and I saw this Bible there. I drew this Bible as my inspiration for hope and as a sign from God since I am a Christian and was raised as a Methodist and non denominations Christian.l
