One month? More like one week for me. One day sometimes.
If you don’t feel you can make it through the next year, focus on making it through the next month. If you feel you can’t make it through the next month, focus on the next week. If one week is too much, focus on one day. If one day is too much, just get through the next hour. If the next hour is too much, hold on for the next minute.
It’s such a bliss after a depressive episode. I always start thinking “Is this how much energy people usually have?” but then it’s right back to lethargy and anhedonia in less than a week.
When I’m depressed I can’t remember how it feels to be normal. When I’m normal I can’t remember what it feels like to be depressed. In either situation, it’s impossible to prepare for the other.
I write letters to my “other self” but I read them and can’t believe I wrote them — they seem so foreign.
Thanks for these comics. My depression has come back. I was feeling happy for a little over a year and a half, then it had to come back. Intrusive thoughts due to my OCD came back first, and then depression followed it. It’s just horrible. Isn’t there some kind of quota you can fill, some obstacle you can overcome and look back on? I didn’t even do anything to cause it. On the subject of this comic, I also feel lethargic due to depression. I push through it, because I want to hide that anything is wrong. I just have to get through this, and then I can go home and just exist.
