METALHEAD

A pandemic wasn’t something I thought to consider in my life. Not that anyone did unless they are an apocalypse prepper or a terrifyingly pessimist person. Still. I have been locked inside for about 13 months now. This is a zine/information dump/vent art piece/disaster about these 13 months, gender, music, and mental health.

Warnings for content as follows:

• Dysphoria
• Dissociation
• Depression
• Self-destructive thoughts (non-graphic)
• Discussion of transphobia
• Discussion of Covid-19
• Discussion of medical trauma

If this makes anyone feel less misunderstood, less alone, then I’m glad. If it doesn’t, it’s okay too. Just know whatever you are going through, others are dealing with their own chaos, and in that feeling, no one is truly alone. My situation might differ from yours; my fears and anxieties will probably not be the same, but I understand how you feel.

This project reflects my experience accepting myself and finding joy in things I hadn't considered before, and it isn't a guide on how everyone feels things or a generalization. I aimed to make it the most accessible I could, but if you need any changes to be made so you can read it, just send me a comment and I will be sure to look into it!
