# About me
REGARDING THE COMIC
depression comix are simply a graphical representation of how depression and other related illnesses feel from a personal perspective. Not all comics are intended to apply to everyone; everyoneβs experience is different. Furthermore, the comics are not intended to be any kind of diagnostic tool.
This is a PG rated comic (with occasional language). Please feel free to follow, reblog, and link. Please donβt hesitate to reply and share your own feelings as well, especially in your comments if you decide to reblog. All comments keep the dialogue moving and this is more important than anything else. Private comments in my mailbox are always appreciated.
The comment sections are always moderated and hateful and negative language is not acceptable. This is a safe space for sufferers and compassion is the rule. Also giving unhelpful advice like "you just need to get positive" or "you're just need to get strong" is not acceptable. I am also not looking for criticism about the comic.
This comic is updated on Saturday morning Japan time, which is around Friday evening in North America. There are rare occasions when a strip may be updated earlier or later.

Hi. I like how you raise awareness for mental illness by creating comics that are realistic. National Mental Health Awareness Week is from October 7-14.
Do you want to help me raise awareness for Schizophrenia? I have researched, so deviations, posters, and infographics littered with inaccuracies and stereotypes are concerns you can cross off your list.

I really like your comics! I read a handful and they are honestly super educational. I see myself as a pretty positive person in life so there is no way I would know how depression would be like. Keep up the great work! I think there needs to be more comics like this to help people better understand what REAL depression is.

Because during a depression spell I had a thought to myself "I wonder if I can draw this" and it became a thing. Doing this comic helped me a whole lot, it made me see patterns in my behavior and see my past in a different light.

So I was scrolling thru your stuff,
Trying to pick out a favorite.
I couldn't decide or find just one that really spoke to me,
So I decided to give you a watch instead. ^w^
I had depression myself,
Just before Christmas.
And it was downright horrible.
The days became long and hopeless,
I felt like I wasn't really doing anything worthwhile with my life,
Especially since my creativity got killed,
And I couldn't even do conversations...
Even if I wanted to.
Thanks for making these comics.
They effectively paint the picture of what it's like to have depression and have to deal with it.

Thank you very much and I hope things get better. Remmeber you're not alone.

Thank you very much.
I am happy to say that I'm no longer depressed,
And Life is going well again.
...Makes me think of the people who are still depressed,
I really hope they can find recovery and healing from it,
And once again experience the joys, the wonders of,
And the zest for life.
I know, this hope is probably a tall order,
Considering the nature of depression... :/

I just discovered your comics yesterday. Thank you for making them. I can relate to so many of these situations, and they could be very helpful in trying to explain Depression to those who don't "get it."

Thank you so much for your efforts! I can relate to almost every single story.β€β€

Usually, when I type "de" in the firefox's address bar and two results pop up instantly: DevArt and depressioncomix. Most of the stuff I read in your comic hits too close to home and it's not always a pleasant feeling, what with so many things that are out of my power to change... but I keep going. Like someone said on your site, there may come a day when I'll break, but I haven't broken just yet - and neither should you. Keep going, man, and here's a llama for you in the meantime. It's all I can do.
Best of luck.

Thank you for making this comic and doimg it in such a way that generates conversation about such important challenges that are faced daily by so many people, challenges like getting out of bed and negative self-talk. Your comic makes the world of difference to me and has helped me to explain to friends, family and my partner what it's like to be as I am. It makes me feel less alone and alien and I am forever grateful to you for that.

hey, I just wanted to say thanks for making your comic. A lot of people will avoid issues like this because they're controversial, but if it's ignored, no one will understand it. I don't have depression, but a lot of people in my life do, and I feel like this helped me to better understand it. Just... thank you. It means a lot.

You're welcome, and I'm glad they helped. It's a tough thing to describe.

Thank you for your comics. I haven't got to look at all of them yet. Do you do other illnesses? I have Bipolar disorder, and would love to see some on that. Thank you again and keep up the great work

Thank you for your comics that portray the truths of depression. I've been suffering for years and quite recently have I began to recover. I went 10 years without doing art and now I'm trying to get back into it. This is my favorite art page. <3

It's worth getting back. Sometimes the things we love are the things that give us the best anchor into healing. Thank you for the kind words and I wish you the best of luck on your road to recovery.

Thank you for accurately portraying depression. I see a lot of me in these depression comix strips. I find them to be humorous, macabre, uplifting, and inspiring. Which may sound paradoxical but I am quite mad after all. Bipolar Disorder with PTSD. So depression is just my main mode of steam.Β Β
So thank you again for this wonderful artwork!
Here, have a Llama on me! Β

Thanks for showing your art.
It's beautiful how you capture the mind of depression
I can relate to some, some less.
But still am happy and proud that you (and other artists) are able tot share work which is quite personal and share your own thoughts with it.
You help others by creating this, atleast you help me.
Thank you

Thank you for the kind words. There are lots of kinds of depression, so it's not expected that all strips apply to everyone. Not all strips apply to me either

I love this. Having depression, I can relate. I hope that I can use my depression as something constructive instead of destructive like this. It might help someone who needs a voice

It started as me trying to throw shade at my own depression, then became a comic strip. I think we can use all the voices we can get, so I hope you find a way .. that would be therapeutic, I think!

Your content is so true and sensitive, and the art. Your characters are so beautifully real and different and personalized--beautiful not because they fit into a boring generic 'ideal,' but because they look like living, amazing, individual people. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom and your art with us!

It helps out a lot of people too.
So please keep on being yourself. ^^

Thank you so much for expressing things that seem obvious to all of us who suffer. It helps a lot explaining these things to a dear person when we finally manage to build a little trust.
It may sound wrong but please accept my wishes fr you to have a nice day and rock on.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you and your comics. It means a lot to know that I am not alone while going through depression. I was diagnosed about a month ago and it is overwhelming, but reading your comics really helps me realize that they're are other people that know what it's like. The comics have helped me explain how I feel to my parents in a way that they can understand, so I don't seem like an alien to them. So, just thank you. Please don't stop creating!
