Dark Companions
Written and Illustrated by Lauren McAvoy
Dark Companions is an illustrated short story about my mental health and the depression and anxiety that overshadowed much of my adolescence. Struggles with mental health are a large part of our society and the more personal and intimate aspects of these struggles are often hidden and taboo to talk about.
This story helps to illuminate the darker parts of struggling with mental health and shows that through connections and support from others, the struggle can be eased.
