I WANNA SNUGGLE!

*hugs my stuffed animal* This is so so accurate and wonderful. Thank you for posting it. <3

HUGS ! =^.^=

Me. Every day.

Your art really strikes such a positive and resonant chord with me, and seeing it always reminds me that there’s still plenty to be hopeful about.

Thank you, Kemono, for putting forth these heartwarming pieces and taking the time to give voice to what so many endure in their lives.

Thanks. I need this message more than I often realize.

This hits me hard, i have this feeling but sadly... i don't have someone to tell me what the bunny say... :(

*snuggle.. hug.. gently squeeze... and dry your tears.
you are loved.. because you are YOU. There's no other reason hon.. your fans love you and there are those beyond us that feel so very strongly that you are cared for.
They are the one's worth living for and not crying when you feel like there's no one but you.

you ARE cared for and loved.. we, your furry watchers are living proof of it and we'll give to you as much as you need to prove to your heart that we have boundless compassion..
we'll give till you're full and bubbling over in a wonderful, sweet, loving way.
Because we can.

It really does happen just like this.

Depression should be banned. Exctincted like pocks

I just teared up a little, thanks for this.

this is so accurate!
*gives you a big hug and lots of cookies* I hope you feel better

This almost made me cry T.T <3

I wish this could be true.

Thank you... so much. I cant say it anywhere near enough to tell you how much this means to me right now... i know it wasnt meant for me but it does Echo what i am feeling constantly... and sadly losing against.

Hits ya right in the feels.

Thank you. I needed this message today.

I hear ya. Also, the subtle changing of the character's colour in each panel is genius.

This happens with my anxiety quite a bit so I totally relate

Good message.

Thank you for the good message.

i feel this

*offers free hugs*

I NEED TO CUDDLE WITH HIM SOO MUCH

Depression is brutal, to use an understatement.

Something we could all use; there are days we need that kind of support ;3; (even me)

This hits- often getting to me at the most random of times.. :( It can be crippling at times when you seem to be okay then out of nowhere...

This really hits home.

Beautiful and very emotional.

Gosh darn I feel this. Thank you.

this is everyone who is or has been in Lockdown

Wonderful message.

awwwwww <='(

This hits really close to home for me. This is me on a daily basis where just out of nowhere my mind slips and my mood tanks. A fantastic job at showing this.

A very good message. I muself struggle with depression, and things like this picture help get me through. Thank you.

Feels

I don't wan to see that little floof sad! :(

You are my sunshine my only sunshine you make me happy when skies are grey, you dont know dear, how much i love you, please dont take my sunshine away~🎶

*hugs tight* You are loved~

May I make a version of this with my own fursona & stuffed plush?

Hello, 911? I'd like to report a hit and run truck that just smashed into my heart. It's so true as well! All it takes is a flash of memory, a spark, something you did or didn't do, and it sets off a chain reaction of self hatred and sorrow. It hurts so much too and robs you of joy and fun experiences. Immense beauty will be overshadowed or tainted by pain and it seems to only get worse.

At least it does for me.

That's how it is when I look back at the years before my diagnosis, that gradual slump until I hit 15-1/2 and I nose-dived into clinical/chronic depression. Thank you for bringing awareness to such things with your adorable art and for ending this positively. <3

I feel this deeply.

This is exactly how it feels - one moment you're perfectly fine, then that evil voice turns everything sour and suddenly you flip and feel terrible. It's a horrible feeling

Oh gosh my heart strings! I relate with this so much and it's making me cry a lil bit.

A plushie is often capable of being the mirror into your very soul during the harshest times in your life, and no one should have to be without one.

had that long ago when i realized i'll stop loving my plush

Yep, this is painfully accurate.

This hit me so hard. It’s too accurate.

I have these sudden moments alot

My Plushies help so much with depression ;w;

As much as I can relate to this, my mum can relate more; she has chronic depression. Sometimes I don’t know if she’s depressed or upset at something I did.

Sorry, I meant epic pic as always! Ɛ>

*big warm fluffy hug from the puppy*

I've been like that during this pandemic. I miss my friends and their hugs

*Pets the good pup* No sad puppy...

I know that feeling. It can sneak in from time to time

Wonderful

So many support hugs. >.<

Bunnies are the best people.

I only ever get to the second or third stage of this, due to something snapping inside when my mother died. I struggle to feel actually sad ever since; I just feel increasingly blank and unmotivated. I guess I'm lucky in that?

Yes and no.

I've experienced this before and while it's OK to be numb from the trauma it keeps you from moving on.

Now, I'm not a psychologist when I say this so take it with a grain of salt, but I have been numb so I know where you're coming from.

it's okay to cry ;_;

I love your work but I hate it, too, it always hits me hard in the feels.

That is a very unique thing to say

Don't stop. it always helps when I know my feelings are not just me.

HUGS )))))

This actually made me weep... It really hits that spot...
People mean well, but anyone who has never actually felt depression has no idea what it feels like to suffer with it. Those moments of weakness, the inefficiency, walking into a room and feeling like everyone is pissed at you without reason, feeling like no one in the world actually cares about your feelings without criticizing them... It actually feels good when anything, even a stuffed animal, pet or passerby tells you how much you matter.
Both my wife and I feel this way, and it makes me smile to see something this adorable to make us feel ok. Thank you for that.

Seeing something like this for but a moment yet experiencing the message for years, I was at a loss of words until those last two panels - it's been quite sometime since I've shed tears over artwork and it feels...relieving. Bless you, deah, bless you

Truth.
I'd basically given up on social media, the internet, the last 3 months. I figured it would be more of the same old, same old. I interacted with almost no one, and retreated deep into myself like curling into a ball.
3 days ago, I came back, if only because I know isolation like that won't end well. There were so many positive messages people had left! Which I had missed out on because I was acting "depressed."

Okami, you always do a beautiful job on your art ^^

Yeah, this is a fairly accurate depiction of depression.

And this is why I love my stuffies

Even as an adult, they're always there to help and bring me up or at least comfort me when I'm down.
Stunning and thank you for sharing.

To be a light in the dark. ^^

it's always so surprising how helpful a hug can be form someone you trust can be. only had one my life and can say it was much needed. This little image shows that off well.

Not bad art

That is exactly how it comes, and just how fast, and just how hard.

But...well, sometimes that's all it takes to make it go away: just one kind person, with one sincere comment.

Super cute

*hugs*

i feel the same at the moment :'(

This a bigger mood than expected, most of my days are spent alone now, for various unfortunate reasons around me, my big big stuffed bunny is all I've got to keep me going until I see my wolf again...it's hard, REALLY hard, but the plush bun gets me through.

It's difficult when we can't rely on our brain, because our brain is who we are; so if our brain isn't doing the right stuff in the right way, how can we be who we are, when the source of who we are isn't functioning the way it's meant to?

That one hit deep
