December 23, 2015 at 8:57 amAs a therapist, I wish there was something more I could do to help. As a sufferer, I wish this fortune telling wasn’t part of the struggle.

December 23, 2015 at 9:42 amI’ve also seen that therapist! And yes, it took many years before I tried again – I really only see someone when I am genuinely concerned that I’m going to commit suicide and I’m out of ways to talk myself out of it. I’m still alive, but I don’t know that any therapists have helped that to be a reality.

December 23, 2015 at 12:41 pmYeah, went to a counselor who literally said “You need to lighten up!”. Well, if I could “lighten up” I wouldn’t be talking to you, asshat. Oh wait, I’ve been such a fool! Here I thought it was clinical depression when all I needed to do was lighten up! Hey, I think I’ll solve my financial problems by just not being poor, too! And just grow all my hair back because doggone it, I’m tired of being bald. Who knew the answer was right there all the time?
Besides, I’m pretty sure what she really meant was “slap on a fake smile (that Clay captures so well in Depression Comix) because I have no idea what I’m doing.”
But this is a great strip & I’ll definitely check out Maddie’s site! And I like panel 4, good to see the right perspective in there. 🙂
