Pink is truly a master of bringing the elements of the medium together not just tell a story, but to cause an experience. As someone with diagnosed schizoaffective disorder, and from watching my mother over the years who was schizophrenic, many of these experiences are quite relatable to me… PTSD, Panic Disorder, Anxiety, Depression, Crippling, Disassociation, Unreasonable Fear… and I also enjoy the message at the end… the realization that someone else may be experiencing the same trauma youāre going through, and having the presence of mind to try and get them help, even if you yourself cannot do it because you are experiencing that yourself.

Translating these complex, abstract and often confusing when they're happening experiences in a way that gives others a glimpse into what it's really like living with it was a challenge. But from all the comments and such, it seems like the raw authenticity I put into it had a strong impact - and even more importantly, there's people who feel a little bit less alone because of it :')
(And you nailed what I wanted to say with the ending. Pushing through the fear to help someone else when they can't even help themselves, because they know it's a shared fear and it's right, is what makes Remi a truly strong person.)
