    Depression is like Alzheimer’s Disease, except the only thing you can’t remember is what it feels like to be happy.

    I’m so glad you make these comics, they go a long way in clarifying the disease. We can’t understand it, we can only clarify it. These do that.

      This comment is the most wrong thing to have ever wronged. Depression is not anything like Alzheimer’s. You want to talk about clarifying and understanding a disease maybe you should do your fucking homework.

        Maybe do your own homework.

        Why are you using such intentionally hurtful language on a site like this?

            Sorry, currently WordPress and Jetpack don’t have that functionality but maybe one day they will, hopefully.

          I suspect that mahuika has witnessed up close and personal how Alzheimer’s has ravaged the brain and life of a loved one, and that dmgice’s comment really struck a nerve by trivializing Alzheimer’s in saying that depression is “like it, except…” Pretty much how the protagonist in the comic linked below felt his depression was trivialized when non-depressed people used “depressed” to describe things when they were actually sad, but not depressed:

          http://www.depressioncomix.com/posts/144/

          Although both diseases/disorders may share “memory loss” as a symptom, neither is defined as memory loss alone… they are both distinct illnesses that can present with a variety of symptoms and severities, and they both can have devastating, debilitating, even fatal consequences if left untreated.

          I’m not saying that mahuika was right to use that language; I am saying that I can understand why he/she might feel compelled to do so if they’ve had personal experience with the devastating effects Alzheimer’s can cause.

    I actually know how that feels. I could never imagine my futur because I didn’t expect to be alive for it.

      Yes! :C And it has left me screwed up! I’m still trying to figure out what to do for college, I never planned for it ever because I expected to be dead before, by, or after graduating high school.

    Yup, happened to me. Day- switch on. Night – switch off (or anxiety). Day. Night. Slow motion, confused time. I’m glad to be back to the healthy calendar, full of activities and people.

    Yep. I’ve got my own little bubble of time within which I exist.

    “Are you up to anything this weekend?”
    “Not really sure.”

    Yup. Yup. Yup.

    I’m not quite at empty calendar yet.

    I make plans but I almost always cancel them.

    I’ve been forcing myself by signing up for events that are pricey so the wasting money part is more painful than the leaving house part.

    But I have given up planning anything beyond 2 weeks.

    Oh and life goals…what are those?

    I just want to die peacefully in my sleep some day.

    Until then, I’ll just have to stick it out day by day.

    I’m currently in a bad cycle of terrible sleeping patterns, sleeping anywhere from noon to 10 pm, and the days – more like nights – just bleed together until it all feels like the same monotonous schedule of drowsy and miserable wakefulness.

    I’ve been in deep depression since the start of the year and I still can’t process that it’s been 9 months of lonely misery. When you have no one to talk to (I have no familly left, no friends, no relatives, coworkers avoid me) you loose the sense of time and it’s killing me little by little.
