I had three pictures hanging in the hallway, each representing a stage in this cracked out mental cycle that I go through. In descending order, they illustrate hypomania, mixed states, and depression. Patrick brushed by them as he was going to the guest room, and Depression fell off the wall. The frame broke but the glass in it didn't, and the print was unharmed. Now when you look at the wall, all you see are hypomania (exhilaration) and mixed states, with no depression.
All three of these are prints by the lovely and talented Melissa Nucera of ThisYearsGirl on Etsy. I first ran across her art years ago on deviantART, a wonderful resource for imagery of all types. You can find some amazing stuff on that site if you have the time and inclination to dig. I've only linked to this artist's personal deviantART page on here, but there is a massive database with millions of contributors. You just have to poke around.
These are the ones that are meaningful to me in particular:

Beautiful story.
And go Patrick!
I like them all--but you are so happy with Patrick that I think he was meant to knock depression off the wall!! :)
That is so sweet.
I'm so glad that depression has been knocked off of your wall, and seemingly, out of your life, darling! <3 Those are some nice pictures, by the way! I totally feel the gloom! ^^ I'm so happy that you're happy, darling. It makes me hopeful for myself one day... Have a lovely day, darling! <3 <3 <3 *
