This is well done. It’s so hard for people to understand depression if they have never experienced it, and the cruel reality is most humans have a hard time emphasizing with others when they can’t see/relate to the problem
I have been looking for this comic for a very long time… Thank you…
One of my favorites. I added the link for the author’s website as well.
Glad to hear that my “Don’t look so sad” advice helped
Also shout out to the people who remind you it could be worse. That always helps deal with a situation.
you’re sad because someone broke up with you? It could be worse, your parents could be killed in a car accident. Cheer up!
Thanks that helped!!
While we’re at it, thanks to anybody who told me to just “do a little more parenting”. Without you, I’d never thought of that!
Congratulations on beating your depression, I will ask no follow-up questions, take your statement at face value and pride myself in knowing that my “just stop being depressed” advise truly helped someone!
Your brain doesn’t like it here? Just change your brain then. /s
My depression is on hiatus at the moment, but I’m smart enough now to know that it’s not gone and will never be gone. I will enjoy my break for as long as it chooses to last, remain empathetic to my fellow sufferers, and buffer myself up for the next round.
