Depresso Expresso Doug
CW: I talk about having depression.
A little comic idea that's been floating in my mind for a while now. I finally found the motivation to draw it.
While the topic is a bummer and I can't really promise it'll improve, it's something I felt I should do, for better or worse.
Hopefully it's something that'll help others with their own ordeals and trials, to know that you're not alone in it.
Furthermore, as heavy and personal a thing as it is, I thought you all should know about it. I never really liked drawing or posting negative things out there for others (except for the most dramatic part of my stories), but masking and hiding the sorrow behind smiles and a silly demeanor isn't really helping with the problem.
Thank you for the patience and the understanding. Sorry if this is not the wholesome content you expect from me, but this was necessary.

I always hear that writing things down helps with depression and anxiety, I hope this helped you too. Also it’s okay to post depressing things too, the internet is a weird place and it’s so often too easy to misunderstand someone especially when we only see one side to them. Showing this side is not only good for yourself (again the writing down stuff) but also others to show they aren’t the only ones feeling like this, that others, like a really talented artist that they follow has the same feelings too. Wishing you all the luck and good vibes ♥️
It might not be the wholesome content you're offering us, but it's nice and appreciated you're talking to us about how you feel.
I don't have much to offer, but I hope you'll get better big sheppo! And that you'll do, not only for us and your family, but for yourself. <3

I relate to that comic on so many levels, it's actually quite reassuring to hear people tell what they're going though.
Wish you all the best dude, recognizing it and knowing what you can do to get better is already a huge leap forward. I'm sure you'll get better and until then take care. And thank you for that comic that speaks volumes.

I want to write a little passage from my favorite book, "The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, and The Horse".
**
"The fox never really speaks," whispered the boy.
"No, and it's lovely he's with us." said the horse.
"To be honest, I often feel I have nothing interesting to say." said the fox.
"Being honest is always interesting." said the horse.
**
You do not have to say anything at all to be good company. We're all on a journey. You simply existing is enough to make it a better day.

The world has been changing in a way where many experience the struggle of just trying to get by. Unfortunately this has been going on for so long that it became the norm. It is rough and rare for anyone to have motivation or aspirations to be better or do something to be better. Just struggling to keep your head above water has left astoundingly large amounts of men depressed with no sight of a clear future or anything that would change or make them happy. Myself included.
I've been wondering, where ya been
An can relate to "the big sad" it likes to hit a lot, when stress is around
Or if you're not thinking. It just shows up. I do appreciate your sticking around.
Sometimes the big sad wins. (It cheats) so I'm glad you're still here.
Motivation is the kicker. I have to use spite. To fuel mine.
I can't "love" my sad. So I push to hurt it. I want to be happy with my loved ones
And the big sad hurts them too

That is true. The last thing I want is for my big sad to hurt others, hence the effort to conceal it for so long, but alas, if I don't acknowledge it, the big sad never leaves x(
And thank you, its peeps and folks like you that makes sticking around worth it :3

Talking about negative things is one of hardest things, especially if you don't want to ruin the mood. But there will always be people who will be open to help and listen, if you ever felt the need. I think everyone has their sad time at some point and I took a lot of time until I had the courage that I need help and went to therapy for a while.
Take your time, Doug. You deserve all the time in the world to help yourself, not for any reason than because it's for your own good. Anyone close to you will understand and help you, not to rush things, just because they care about you.
Your comics helped me during dark times and I hope you will take your time to help yourself, just like you took time to help us.
Love ya and take care of yourself! <3

I believe in you Doug!
As a survivor of anxiety and depression I can promise you that there is always a way to reach happiness again and I'm a walking example of it.
Don't give up. Save up the energy and when you are ready, make that call/send that email and schedule that therapy visit. It will be tough at first but with every visit you will be closer to reaching happiness again.
I wish the best for you and even though I don't know you in person, I care for you! Step by step, you will get better <3.

If you are looking for a therapist by chance, a good website I've used is: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us
This one helps to search for one based on a variety of topics including specific mental health, sorting based on preferences, and most importantly, what insurances they take ^w^

I still love raising despite the meaning!
It alone takes courage to talk about what you go through in life. Whether it would be good and simple to harsh and critical, you still preserved. Knowing yourself first and admitting what you can do to change takes willpower. You have wonderful folks around you and for those who see this and may be going through the same thing, you YOU CAN DO IT!!!😊✨️🤗💖🫂

Thank you for sharing, you were very brave to do so.
This year it was the first time in my life, that I went to see a therapist and in just a few months I improved a lot and learnt a lot about myself. You are doing the right thing seeking help, but keep in mind that you need to have the chemistry with the professional and should change if you have a bad feeling about them.
Hope you will understand yourself better and learn to better handle this soon <3

It's immensely tough, one of the toughest journeys a person can go on. I wish you the absolute best in your journey, and I hope it brings you to the tools and motivation to overcome your struggles, at least in part. You are worth it, not just because you make amazing work, but I'm glad you are working through it because you yourself have immense value as a person. The world is better with you in it.
I'm sorry this has been such a burden on you but I promise it gets better from here.<3

Happy for ya wanting to get help bud! I hope you are able to find your way in combatting the obstacles that stand before you. I wish you didnt have to deal with so much stressors. But things will work out. Even when they dont. Its not easy to see, but those victories you make come together to make something fantastic. And every day we try and that is more than enough. I have faith that things will be alright and things will get better. For you and everyone. :3
That first step was always the hardest for everyone to face the fact: that the SAD, really is too big to try to handle alone, but we care about you, we are here for you. And I for one can say that the days that you just want to lay in bed are only lost days(I know as I still have them as well). But again you have a circle of friends to listen and talk with, even on days when we're not at our best, we're still trying.
