I don't have anything witty to say to this; I want to keep it real.
I have been going through a really rough patch of depression for a fair while now, and talking in the discord server run by SonicSweeti, trying to get help; everyone there is so caring and supportive, but I was struggling hard, having no sense of self-worth, no real desire to push myself on, struggling to get myself out of bed to go to work, only to come home and do it all over again. The support in that server has definitely saved my life, but it doesn't always stop the thoughts from coming in the first place.
At one point I had made a comment out loud in the vent chat that basically boiled down to 'I don't want to kill myself, but I just want to go away, tune out the world, and be somewhere safe until I feel better and ready to come back.' Reality isn't so kind, of course, but it is a nice thought to lose one's self in. One I could indulge when online, but had to leave behind every shift at work or when I'd have to take care of other responsibilities. I couldn't make progress; any time I tried to do something to help myself feel better, it felt like reality turned around to kick me down again.
I took a week off from work and two nights as a hotel to just get away from everything and give myself the peace I've been craving, and partway through the day of my birthday, one of the friends in her server sent me this as a surprise.
One of the friends in the server had been talking with me and hearing what was going on, and went out of their way to ask SonicSweeti herself for a special commission, as a birthday surprise for me. He had been as supportive as he could in text, but wanted to get something (somewhat) physical to show his care.
I got the message and saw the comic and broke down crying in my hotel room - It truly means so so much, more than I let on for either of them, to have friends like this. It's something I've never had practically my whole life, real-life or otherwise. I can't ever thank them enough or express just how much it truly means to me.

Thank you both  Ethro_Knight and  SonicSweeti, with everything I have. You both are amazing and wonderful. Please, please don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise, be it external or your inner demons; you've truly done something amazing and I can't ever even begin to express just how much it truly means to me. <3
