These were smack dab in the middle of the mental illness. It all checks out perfectly. Have you never seen this tv show? I watched it as a kid and it makes perfect sense. Everyone knows Eeyore is depressed. He keeps saying things that clinically depressed people would. And I knew that the Rabbit is probably OCD and the pictures above say that. If you see the tv show, you could easily see how obsessive-compulsive the rabbit is about his garden, he won't let anybody make a mess of it. He would prefer things his way to the point of losing his friends. The images above are pretty accurate. Although I saw one that claims Winnie the Pooh has an eating disorder, which I do agree would not really be even close to the kind of eating disorder people generally have. Writers of cartoons usually have certain ideas when they create characters. Doing this may have helped little kids learn to express their feelings, so it wasn't a bad idea.

One thing I've lost is a sense of humor due to my anxiety disorder, and this light touch is a blessing. Whatever It Takes to heal . . . TTFN (tatafornow) I like the images, simple and cheerful.
