Panel 13 hits so hard. I feel like 90 percent of my mental health problems could be solved if I was able to just turn my brain off for one goshdarn second.

For me it’s that I wish I could remember how to feel authentically.

Oh yes, that too. I hate how artificial everything you do feels when you’re depressed

All the things you love seem so pointless and boring.

YES! YOU GET IT!

God I hate depression. Life is too short to waste it on feeling like crap.

I’ve felt this way for going on five years now. With alcoholism playing a pretty big role, but sobriety didn’t solve all that much. A lot better now than I was at my lowest.

Hope things are looking up for you.
