College or university project

How did you make this work:
It’s not an easy thing to do to voice how you are feeling. There's still a level of stigma involved and usually, an immense feeling of guilt when sharing what you perceive as a burden onto others. Sometimes you just want someone to listen and say nothing, sometimes a simple yep - "I feel it too" is all you need. This project tries to get that feeling across in a humorous and non-patronising way
