Bea_Korsh’s Intrusive Thots is an explosive zine about depression, treatment and recovery

Trigger warning: this piece contains mentions of physical self harm as well as descriptions of depression, anxiety and struggles with personality disorders.

While Brooklyn-based artist, musician and designer Bea Korsh attended a year-long intensive outpatient programme for personality disorders, she created an experimental comic called Intrusive Thots. The core of her programme was an open discourse process group that met three times a week – a sandbox, unbound by the confines and ramifications of society, where she and her peers could experiment with developing deeper connections to themselves, each other and most importantly: reality. Bea treated Intrusive Thots as her personal counterpart to the raw and confrontational therapy she received from her programme. Today, it remains as evidence that art and design can function as a way to cope with psychological distress.

“Intrusive Thots started out as mine alone, but by the end, I was intent on publishing it. I began depicting self harm, masturbation, childhood trauma and dissociative episodes. [...] As I whirl through painful cycles of joy and dread, love and paranoia, introspection and psychoticism, new desires emerge on the page: to embrace reality, to be understood, to relax,” shares Bea. “Nothing resolves, but everything evolves, most of all my sense of self and others.” #ItsNiceThat
