Planetmclulu is a Switzerland-based artist who suffers from DPDR, a depersonalization/derealisation disorder. The 25-year-old Lulu has been suffering from this illness over three years now, so to deal with her everyday problems, she decided to make comics about DPDR which can be a diagnosis on its own, or be a symptom of another mental disorder like anxiety, dissociative disorders, etc.
“For me, DPDR is a 24/7 thing,” the artist wrote. “For the first year, I suffered in silence and was unable to do anything. People who don’t have this disorder often just don’t understand. So I made these comics for all of you who suffer from it, or maybe feel strange and can’t explain why, and for friends and family members who don’t have it to get a better understanding.”
