Illustration of a person in underwear looking at an emaciated reflection in a mirror, symbolizing body dissatisfaction and mental health in a bedroom.

Imagine a bright, colorful bedroom with lavender walls, soft coral string lights, and posters filled with sunset oranges and deep ocean blues. In the center, a person stands in front of a tall mirror. Their real self is drawn in calm mint green, pale yellow, and soft peach tones. But the mirror tells a different story. In the reflection, the colors shift to dark indigo, murky forest green, and heavy maroon, blending together like smeared paint. The reflected body looks stretched and uneven, and the reflected face appears tired and sad — symbols of body dissatisfaction and depression. Around the mirror float neon pink and electric blue speech bubbles filled with scribbles, showing overwhelming thoughts. A bright rainbow-patterned rug covers the floor, but from the person’s feet, long shadows in deep charcoal gray spread into the corners of the room. A pile of clothes in muted brown and faded navy sits in the corner, representing the parts of life burdened by depression. Next to the mirror, a small turquoise lamp glows softly, its light gently brightening the room — a symbol of the hope that still survives beneath the negativity. See more
