The behavior of dinosaurs is shrouded in mystery separated by millions of years. But, judging from these comics, which are simply called "Dinos and Comics," they're much more mentally mature and less cold-blooded than you might've thought! There's much to learn from the conversations and thoughts that these reptiles have: they observe the absurdity and paradoxes of mental illness, share their emotions openly, and last but not least, they know how to comfort each other and inspire positive feelings. The comic inadvertently makes you wish these types of mentally evolved dinosaurs had survived to this day, because we need them more than ever. But in a sense they are here, and with us, sharing nuggets of wisdom through a few comic panels that this wonderful collective created. Without further ado, forget about your problems for a moment, and immerse yourself into something that the creators call "Dino Therapy." Enjoy!

Toxins in the brain are actually taken out and processed for elimination. Sleep is essential for that to happen. That is why it almost feels that you have been poisoned if you do not get enough sleep.

In one of the previous posts, which you may find here, the authors have mentioned why they chose dinosaurs as protagonists of the comic. They said it's because "they're cool," which I, as a person who liked dinosaurs in my childhood, can totally get behind. First of all, it's factually true, since reptiles (the dinosaurs) are cold-blooded, so naturally, it makes them one of the cooler animals out there. Second, dinosaurs just look awesome. When somebody asks you to think of an awesome animal, most people choose dinosaur. That's a fact I made up, but I feel it's real. But dinosaurs are actually real. That's a real fact.

Coffee or tea? One cup of coffee can be *just* enough to pull me out of depression without jump-starting my anxiety
We've established that dinosaurs are the epitome of cool animals. But what else is there to know about them? Well, a lot. Though much is known about dinosaurs, even more is unknown, as they lived and prospered hundreds of millions years ago. To be precise, they came into prominence in the Mesozoic Era, around 243-233 million years ago, and mostly died off 66 million years ago in a Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event. Only the feathered, avian dinosaurs managed to survive, and are the reason why birds exist today, since they all had an avian dinosaur ancestor.

There are around 700 species of dinosaur, mostly divided into herbivores, and carnivores, and avian and non-avian. The word dinosaur came from the Greek word deinos ("terrible") and sauros ("lizard"). In other words, it was just a fancy way to say he was terrified of them. We have to thank dinosaurs for having birds, turtles, snakes, and crocodiles.

A few years ago my mom went to a church that was frequented by many of the local mentally ill. The preacher made a comment that if someone is taking pills they should stop taking them and pray to God for help instead as god can cure all ills. Well half the mentally ill stopped taking their medication. And it was a huge problem. The church ended up firing the preacher and making an announcement god can help but medication is also important. Please if your on meds keep taking them

Never feel guilty for your feelings. If you find you're sad and can't shake it off or pinpoint the problem, then go and offer help to others. It really is a big perspective shift to see the other side. You don't have to rush to a homeless shelter or anything, something as simple as helping out an elderly or differently abled neighbor can be a huge benefit to your mental state.

As a person who's permanently sad, I'd say the perfect replie to "I'm sad" is to ask sad individual if they want a hug.

This is the self-loathing spiral. We've all been here, but the smart ones know that it's a dangerous place to stay, because it turns into the swamp of sadness from the never ending story and it will consume you if you let it. I wasted too many years in that swamp, so glad I'm out, and I'm never going back.
It's hard to pinpoint the exact number, but I'd wager that mental health comics contribute a lot to many people's general well-being: they're easy to digest, they're relatable, and they help people find a simple way to vent. Here's a round of comics about mental health that can be found here on Bored Panda. Here are comics about mostly ADHD that are called... Mostly ADHD! Feeling down? Well, perhaps a self-ironic depressed chicken might cheer you up! Yearning for positivity? Blue Llama will be like a ray of sunshine to your heart!

Many years ago a friend in a religious cult we were in once asked me outside of their rules to walk with him around a nearby small memorial park. When we got there I asked him if he wanted to talk but he said no and just wanted us to slowly walk. We didn't speak nor did anyone see us. When we reached the end he thanked me and asked me to wait a few minutes before leaving so the other members wouldn't see us leave together and scold me for being alone with a man. I left the cult that week but news later reached me he committed suicide not long after I left. It broke my heart and part of me wished I'd stayed a little longer to reach out to him.

The message here is deeper than they know. I got un-depressed with a similar line of logic. I listen to NF and he has taught me that I'm not the only one who feels so alone. So now I know that I'm part of the "I feel so lonely" club, and that makes me feel less lonely.

Yes. I'm aware of the truly terrible things man is capable of and they all disgust me. I weep for the future of humanity and the ones who have to exist in a present that they can't escape from. I say mean things from time to time because being mean is a much needed necessity in our world right now. Be strong, be hard, be real, and stand firm in your convictions... Right or wrong, you might not get a chance later. Also, I really lile purple, but black is the best.

Taught me the most important part in life is to enjoy it. He was in constant pain and was the most positive man I've ever known, smartest too. I miss him though his presence really never leaves me, or his essence I should say. I hope to meet him again.

Right because practicing a skill that you are not good at is definitely not how you become good at it. Every expert in the world just spontaneously developed a high level of competency one day, as though bitten by a radioactive... painter? Ya know, like spiderman. Because that's how it works. Fk practice, or like, training or apprenticeship or school of any kind, because if you don't already know how to do a thing you've never done before obviously you just suck and will never learn how to do it.
