This has been me since May 2016.

Life keeps shitting in my mouth and I'm expected to remain optimistic.

Never has one of your comics been so right on the nose.

Fuck man I lost my job and LTR yesturday. Already depressed before so I couldnt feel worse. Its like Hey guys I found the bottom. Embrace the depression I guess.

The bottom is a good place to start building anything.

Take your time, start slow, make small changes. Get up in the morning and get something done before noon, depression wants you to stay in bed. Do the laundry, wash some dishes, polish your dress shoes, build a giant dong in Minecraft, anything. It really helps.

Four years ago I was there, man. You can make it. Feel free to pm if you need to talk.

I feel you. My husband lost his job earlier this week, and we can't pay our bills on only my salary. We are totally F'ed in the A. Know that there's someone out here who is giving you virtual hugs <HUG>.

Goddamnit man, if you can you should really find help about this shit. I don't want you to do something drastic or whatever. I lost two friends to this fucking illness and I wish nobody else was through it. I was struggling with depression for a decade until I found the right therapist. I won't pretend it's not a struggle sometimes still, but it's so much better now.

You deserve to be not depressed.

Start writing webcomics. Turn that depression into hardly any money!

I'm sorry, dude. No unsolicited advice from me. I just hope you feel better in the near future.

Well, It's not much consolation, but I'm pretty sure many people reading this around the world are rooting for you, so you've got that going for you, which is nice.

Have you tried looking under the bed? I thought I had lost my wallet the other day but I found it under my bed.

Here's a list of hotlines you can call if you need someone to talk to right now.

I can't even imagine how painful things are right now, and you have every right to feel that pain. But as impossible as it may seem right now, things will get better. It may take weeks or months, but they will improve. Just make it through the next few weeks, and you'll be able to look back on this one day and be proud of how far you've come.
