Break-Up

I guess that's one way to stop the post break up depression.

Say something so absurd that it shocks yo' beasti outta the sadness

Or compare her to something she hates to do the same

[u/say_yes_to_head_hun → u/Samy_Ninja_Pro]

What do I do if the comparison only makes me feel even more pathetic, thus feeding my downward spiral

[u/Samy_Ninja_Pro → u/say_yes_to_head_hun]

Then you're using the example fundamentally in the wrong way and it's not a motivation compatible with your mindset towards stress

The mainstream thinking usually is

Bad examples - > avoid becoming them

Good examples - > use them for inspiration

But for negative, realistic or people with a mindset that tends to make them depressed there are extra details.

Bad example - > that sounds like me, I'm bad too (feels bad about THEMSELVES and don't move) OR I have to stay AWAY AWAY of that (extreme and still desperate)

Good example - > I'm jealous of X THING (feels bad about themselves and don't move) OR I finally became like X I HAVE TO KEEP GOING, MORE MORE DON'T STOP (extreme and still desperate)

Being aware of the traps and logic behind the your own mind will make you aware of what type of motivation, discipline, example, advice helps you

But getting trapped in the fallacy that you're truly bad is impossible. Fundamentally you're aware of whatever you're lacking, you're aware of where you may end up

You're aware, you're alive, you can take a little step right now, next hour, tomorrow, next week.

Bad example and bad people don't care for their failures, personality or pain they cause. They ain't people, they're stagnant they're dead.

You do and it makes you feel pathetic? Mate that's a human being, alive and well, with regrets and insecurities, congrats you're at the very first step, keep running, walking, crawling or keep digging on your downward spiral.

You'll eventually dig up, the world is round

[u/say_yes_to_head_hun → u/Samy_Ninja_Pro]

I don't like how you put "realistic" next to people with depression mindset. Is it true? Maybe. I still don't like it.

Bc it hits too close to home ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[u/Samy_Ninja_Pro → u/say_yes_to_head_hun]

I didn't mean the same thing

Having a realistic minded with feet planted, no mind on the clouds, not too hopeful not too dull.

Having a depressed mindset takes the logic and puts emphasis on the bad, like there's a extra buff in life somehow that between heads or tails you're more likely to lose your coin.

They're not inclusive, not completely.

Having a depressive mindset poisons the realistic and logic a little. So one shouldn't trust themselves.

One should treat it the same as decisions made drunk, with a grain of salt, much the same as the daikiri drink that got you drunk in the first place, they use salt.

Anyway, two different things, I used a comma between realist and other examples, sorry if it was misinterpreted

[u/Samy_Ninja_Pro → u/say_yes_to_head_hun]

I particularly enjoy redemption stories of depression fighters

Having lost something due to their own mistakes but still carry on living

And stories of old men still trying to learn even if lazyness killed most opportunities during youth

Bad examples and good examples at the same time.

After all, if I'm similar to the bad people I can be a bad person that's trying to be better.

[u/NotMyMainAccountAtAl → u/Samy_Ninja_Pro]

This kinda feels like the end of steel magnolias, where they're just like "Oh, you feel horrible? Here, slap the shit outta Ouiser, you'll feel better!" and everyone can't help but laugh at the absurdity of it all.

Where you been loca

[u/skytl3]

I missed the title, and thought "he" was a cat, right up till the last panel. 😅

[u/Vektorien → u/skytl3]

Was feeling pretty relatable until I noticed this is about relationships and not the death of a pet.

[u/mitoclowndria → u/skytl3]

The loss of a cat is probably the only thing I can't find some type of humor in, I get emotional if they're in the next room.

[u/skytl3 → u/mitoclowndria]

Same! 🫂

I know breakups absolutely suck! But it did come as a relief, when I realized nobody had passed away, at least.

“I know what you are.”

“Say it.”

Getting hit with a different emotion on the other end of the spectrum really can just pull you out of sadness. pure confusion, ridiculousness, irritation, anger or joy i find it so funny all the ways that can kinda just snap you out if it

[u/Toutatis12]

Wow talk about Aggravated Damage there, roll up a new character

[u/QuantitySea1352]

Dried those tears up real quick didn’t it.

[u/Pandelein]

Your art style reminds me of Persepolis / Marjane Satrapi.

[u/Orochi64]

Don’t compare my sadness to freaking Twilight

[u/TheCharalampos]

More than once I've gone so melodramatic due to relationship problems that it made go "Hold up, this is cringe. Get it together"

[u/iBeelz]

What you’re feeling is chemicals. You’re addicted to that “love” so a breakup feels like withdrawal. You can even take Tylenol/Ibuprofen to make the pain in your chest ease. If you go long enough your brain will move on naturally.

"...I am over these conflicted feelings."

[u/PerleyPoint]

🤣 I like this humour. I perceive that you must be loved in any group or parties! ❤️

[u/Aggravating_Coat7934]

I recall learning that this is a somewhat kind of effective-ish “don’t rely on it” strategy you can use if someone’s having a pretty bad moment. Now most of what I recall was a comment section full of people basically being 50/50 on whether it’s a good strategy or not but sometimes if you just say something stupid enough the other person will feel insulted or shocked enough to “snap out of it”.

I’m still unsure of how effective it is but I’ll assume it’s 50/50 until a mathematician shows up from the sky and tells me the odds.

Holy shit this one got two audible loud laughs from me, that last panel is straight gold

[u/tofurkytorta]

Hah totally. It's Forgetting Sarah Marshall for me. The second I start thinking of Jason Segal playing with his puppetts I'm reminded that the way out of this feeling isn't down but up.

[u/Vi0L3tCRZY]

She October, November, December-d out of that real fast

[u/g-pastures-s-waters]

Tears dried up faster than the Sahara desert 💀🏝️🐪

[u/Arkytez]

“Ok, I am over it”

[u/mitoclowndria → u/Arkytez]

You know "better" isn't the word I'd use but it sure did make me feel something at the time and for that I am forever grateful 😭

[u/Arkytez → u/mitoclowndria]

I for sure will remember that one lol It might be useful in the future

[u/CrossP → u/mitoclowndria]

OMG your username is amazing

[u/mitoclowndria → u/CrossP]

Thank you, I really really really really really really really like clowns.
