WELL HAPPY 4/20, FOLKS
This guest comic was drawn by Lutzbug, the creator of Krazy Noodle Massacre! Start to finish, it was a blast working with her on this. Thanks so much, Lutz!
The idea for this strip was sparked by a similar experience I had on public transit several years ago; I chose to work through it with self-help books, but I suppose deifying your best friend is also an option.
You can also find Lutz on Twitter and Instagram, as well as RIGHT HERE ON FURAFFINITY WHOA!!!

I did!! I was a college undergraduate at the time and things were not going my way, I'd just had a breakup, I had way too much schoolwork, and it was winter and had been raining for like 3 months straight which always sets off my seasonal depression.
I was riding on a bus, just kind of listening to music and staring at the rain outside, and all of a sudden this feeling of absolute despair welled up inside of me in a way that made me feel like I was literally dying and falling out of my own body. Unlike Faustus, I stayed fully in the real world, but I was overwhelmed by a million feelings of existential dread and bleakness for a solid 30 seconds or so, after which I had to get off the bus and force myself to walk the block or so to my house. For the next week I existed in a sort of haze of anxiety and emotional deadness, until I finally realized I needed help, at which point I bought myself some self-help books (mainly mindfulness-based). They REALLY helped me, but I think what helped most of all was the coming of sunny Spring and the easing of my classload, and the inevitable healing that time brings after a breakup. I had just been overwhelmed!

ah man!! that's terriblw, im sorry you went through such a rough time :[
this comic is crazy well done, I have felt similar ways a lot when it comes to my own depression
it's a real heavy, ugly feeling. I hate that you've been dealing with it at all, let alone to such a degree
honestly medication can make a huge difference. self help and friends are helpful of course, but man meds can make life so much more LIVABLE.

Aah thanks for the support <3 <3 <3 don't worry about me, it was thankfully just acute situational depression and I'm long past it now.
I agree about the medication. I've never taken mental health meds, but I wouldn't hesitate if I had to - I've seen my friends have amazing positive transformations from medication and therapy. WE STAN MODERN MEDICINE
