    ”Hmm. Hmmm.”

    ”I’ll take the whole kilogram!”

  • Depressio

    Memorial for the people who’ve committed suicide, sometime during my childhood years:
    Parent: ”Suicide is the most selfish thing.”

    Me, at adult age: ”And that’s what I believed, too, until I got sick. Depression is one hell of a mental illness.”
    02122018_2
    Me: ”Of course I can only talk about myself, but there are some things that help me.”
    Routines
    Balanced diet
    Exercise

    Me: ”And I have medication, of course.”

    But sometimes, despite all of this, darkness fills the mind. My brains just do not produce enough pleasure and happiness hormones, or the effect is short.

    Me: ”And well… Depression is not a choice, silly tosh, or laziness.”

    Me: ”The most distressing thing is when one does all the possible and it does not help.”
    02122018_4
    Me: ”All depressed people do not even have healthy coping mechanisms.
    How does it feel to be a person, who feels no pleasure from ANYTHING?”

    Me: ”And with all added blaming to top it.”
    [someone is being pointed with fingers labeled as ’negative’, ’selfish’ and ’attention whore’.

    Me: ”I don’t even know where I am going with this comic.”
    02122018_5
    Me: ”Umm, I guess my point was that we should treat ourselves and each other with compassion.
    Other depressed people: search for those healthy coping mechanisms. One day the sadness will end.”

    Me: ”I am not much of a Christmas holiday type of a person, but this year I’m gonna try.”

    ”I decorated a tabletop tree.”

    ”I was also thinking of making a pomander [pomme d’ambre], more commonly known as clove-orange.”

    ”Food ideas I am getting from holiday books and magazines.”
    Me thinking: ”I could bake some cookies, at least!”
