    “Visit DepressionComix on…” in the sidebar still links to the .wordpress.com site.

      I’ll be getting rid of the various links to the wordpress.com site eventually. The wordpress.com site still has some unique material like the depression comix primer that I have to import to the new site.

    This is rough to read because I identify with it so much. Not even the fear of what will be made worse by succumbing to the crippling anxiety is sufficient to motivate me. I can’t seem to do anything but stare down the consequences of my own powerlessness.

    I enjoy the little love-hate sort of feeling to this one. I very much had a side of me that almost reveled in my own helplessness, egging myself on down dark paths to see what I would become. When you start pulling out of that it’s like being pulled out of a velvet egg – it feels like the only thing you ever knew, and it was so comfortable and predictable. You felt that inner voice saying how nice it would be to go back — and well, that’s what this comic reminded me of. It takes a lot of strength to realize that the inner voice is lying to you and holding you back. Thank you for making this comic.

      It’s so easy to listen to that voice because it gives you the perfect excuses to be helpless. It wants to survive in you and the only way it can do that is to make you feel that you have no choice but to listen to it. It’s like you’re brainwashing yourself to think depression is the only way.

    It’s a shame that the United States doesn’t have universal health care. Even Obamacare is tied to employment and health insurance. In Canada you can see a therapist for free, and only have to pay for medication. If you are admitted to the psych ward the government covers everything, since they pay for drugs administered while in hospital.
