I had been dealing with depression and anxiety for years. But in 2013, it was at its very worst―it was a nightmare. Through therapy, art, and exercise, I slowly got my life back. Lately, I've been drawing comics about my experiences to share what has helped me and to encourage people who are walking the same path I did.

It is part of the joke. They are a metaphore, of course, but in this comic it is like they are real people who really disappeared, which would be weird, especially when you did not know sports would have such an effect. You can enjoy later, but only four squares are better for comic relief.

Yes, this works for me. It's always tempting to reply to someone when you're angry, but it is ALWAYS a bad idea!

It is true, it works... But then the effect wears off, and misery comes back, even stronger.

I have to agree with Deziree; exercise have never worked for me. Used to run 10k daily for months.

this is pretty true, but it can also be the other way around. sometimes encouraging others can help you see parts of life where you are succeeding in as well.

How is looking good equal to mental health? How is what others see equal to what you feel? And how on earth is talking to others about feelings and similar things not helpful with mental health? If you think that cosmetic surgery helps with mental health, you probably had mental health problems, went and got your cosmetic surgery and then you were so excited to be home that the excitement got rid of the mental health problems. Do the research before saying something, please.

It happens so many times... It is excessively annoying, especially when you are doing a creative project like a book, you find a great idea of character, scene, or plot twist, and then... you just forget it.

In my honest opinion, if you're never anxious, or never really have any negative thoughts, then life is incredibly boring, even if your a person who loves playing video games and you're playing your favorite game.

Bullshit. Requiring depressed people to force themselves to be grateful while there is nothing they can be grateful for just makes them feel more miserable, more guilty, like bigger failures. It is one of the many aspects of toxic positivity, a behaviour which causes a lot of pain to many many people.
Magpie 4 years ago
For example: sadly people get hold of things my therapist is teaching me, and make them into little BAD ideas. Which does make my situation harder: Like this one. Really dealing with depression is much more complicated than " think happy you'll be happy" * any one that says bulldust like that looses all my respect, and i stop returning their calls / texts etc.

A colleague of mine has an 'I love me' book. It's a scrap book full of fun photos, pictures of achievements, pictures of good times etc. He suffers from PTSD due to being in the military and it helps him a lot. I think it's a lovely thing. His 'I love me' book.
Magpie 4 years ago
This sort of stuff can help one person at a time, to be effective there is most likely a lot of background with a therapist / support group.

Yes I had to do a double take :). Spat my coffee on my keyboard :))))) serious handy hint, hold you own hands,-it is a scary time, and it helps to hold a hand. Also reduces face touching. Or put something around your wrists to play with, This may be a good time to refind your fidget spinner / etc.

Try using a SOFT pencil ( about 2b is my fav) then you can rub it all out later. ( I find that quite soothing the rubbing out part )
