The Common Cold


This is a zine I found off Etsy and was intrigued by. It is a 16-page booklet quarter page sized made by Kirsty. It is a perzine which talks candidly about their mental health, about being diagnosed with OCD at a young age and their relationship with their mental health over the years. It talks about feelings of guilt revolving around not “getting better,” and not making enough of an effort.
It was a great perspective on someone coming to terms with deciding to take care of themselves how they see fit instead of trying to take care of themselves to appease others. Which we should all take note of. Don’t let other people make you feel like you are not good enough because of your mental health and how they think you are managing it. Lovely zine!
If you would like a copy of this zine or want to check out their other zines then go to their Etsy page. They currently have 23 zines listed so there’s a lot of zines to look into.
You can also follow them on Twitter.
