Just thought of sharing...

#14 resonates alot within me. That's the biggest reason why I don't share with my family...

The frustrating way that people talk about mental illness versus other illness is a lie. This is the only website where you can talk freely about any mental illness and not worry about a stigma. You try that elsewhere and you get treated like you are trash.

I liked this one a lot and was able to relate. More of a picture book style rather than comic:

Hyperbole and a Half: Depression Part Two
Thanks for this!

Wow. That was too real. You it doesn't matter how long I've been living with this - it always surprises me to see someone else understands and feels the same and thinks the same. Thank you.

14. Oh god. 14. Try to talk to them. They act bothered.

A week later. Sister looks at me. "Why are you always so snappy?"

Seriously. This is why it's hard to talk to family.

Read the OP comics again and I have to say I relate a lot to #8 & #6

& I really liked #18... puts a different perspective on the fight as it were, hadn't seen it that way before.
