Chronic Pain

It can hold a "paper" prescription or a pain pill/bottle in its hand. A colour to represent bruising (blue, green, or purple shades). Something showing an endless cycle or a loooong passage of time, like a broken hourglass. Something showing repeated trips to the hospital, like several identification arm bands. I like the expression the way it is: tired in the eyes and neutral everywhere else as though it's saying "I'm fine" but nothing is ever really fine.

You summed up my feelings perfectly here! I totally agree about the colours.

Completely agree about the colours! I understand others’ desire for darker colours, as chronic pain is certainly not fun, but as a chronic pain-haver myself, I also don’t necessarily want to be constantly reminded of how much my pain sucks, you know? For me, this little bunny has chronic pain, but they’re still doing their thing, living life as best they can, being the brightest they can be despite their pain holding them back. At least, that’s how I feel about it!

Maybe also something representing us feeling like we aren’t heard and the fact that so many of us mourn a pain free life.

I agree, Colors would be better if dark and deep in tone. Colors that feel colder because it’s often going to lead us to feeling isolated.
