Girl Asks Rick And Morty’s Co-Author How To Cope With Depression, Does Not Expect His Response
Depression is a bitch and not all people are able to tackle it alone. However, when Twitter user @chojuroh asked Dan Harmon, the co-showrunner of Rick and Morty, for help, she didn’t think he would respond. But he did, and Dan’s words were so powerful, we thought everyone should read them.
“I asked Dan Harmon because I wanted advice from someone who suffers, but is not a professional,” chojuroh wrote. “This is the most basic, general advice I’ve been given so far, and it’s great. I participate in 4 separate therapies, and treating depression is the least of my worries. I know what works for me, but I knew it would help others for someone in the public eye to say something. Letting out your pain can do a lot of good in the long run, even if you don’t feel better right away.”
Scroll down to read what Harmon had to say about the topic and let us know what you think about it in the comments.

Making my kid read this today. I'm older, I can handle mine, but she's a teen and still trying to get a grip on it.

If you have depression and feel like you'd be better off dead, hear me out. An old sage taught me, ages ago, that "thoughts of death" were actually normal and quite useful. They are our soul's way to let us know that something in our life has to die : a relationship, a situation, a state. The error we shall never make is to think that it is our body that has to die... Since then, I've struggled with depression and suicidal thoughts, but I've learned to manage them and let them help me understand what I need to do to feel better. And it's worked! Life hasn't gotten easier, but I've been better at managing it. All my best to you, out there, having it rough and tough. Never forget that we, humans, don't learn when everything is too easy. Your difficulties make you stronger. "He who gets back up on the saddle is always stronger than he who never fell". Hang in there!
