fucking-niall asked: For me, the comics make me smile because there is something about recognising a common experience that's like, got a bit of black humour to it. And I find that when my distorted thoughts are told back to me, they sound ridiculous. So having the experiences of depression put out there, it has a bit of the same effect. And that takes power away from the depression, and that feels good. I hope this makes sense.

It does, and thank you. I feel the same way when I do these actually, and it still surprises me that others feel similarly. To me, the comic is generally a black humour comic. That is the “freak” that depression makes all of us believe, that we are too different to be understood by anybody. When making these things I am very anxious posting them—I fear that I won’t connect and it will prove how much of a “freak” I am.
