anon (06/11/2015) [-] 
Posting as anon because I'm not proud of this.
This comic means kind of a lot to me, cause it's so true. I struggle with depression, I wake up crying some days, I have suicidal thoughts quite frequently, and I just in general deal with self-hatred all the time. Part of it was because the first girl I dated cheated on me, and then when I broke up with her, she sent me hateful texts every day.
Eventually, I get on tinder and meet this one girl who I hit it off with. Turns out, she's depressed too. We went on a couple dates, but I knew it wasn't going to work. I did the horrible thing of telling her she should find someone else. I talked her down from the edge of the roof of her dorm that night.
Fast forward a couple months, and she starts texting me again, after 3 months without talking. She said that her depression had gotten worse, and she needed someone to talk to. I was there for her all the time. We would talk all day, I would help her when she needed it, and I finally convinced her to go to a mental health doctor. Once she did that, and got the medicine and help she needed, she said goodbye again.
It hurt, and I did some thinking, and realized that when I was focused on helping someone else, I wasn't worried about the **** going on in my head. Helping her helped me forget my issues. That's what's driving me to become a mental health doctor, so I can help people.
Rant over I guess, and sorry for the long story, but I've needed to get this off my chest.

marinepenguin ONLINE (06/12/2015) [-] Turning your pain and depression into energy put towards helping others solve their own problems shows that you are an incredible person.
When most people feel that way they let those feelings consume them or make them do bad things, but you turn around and better others while you are still hurting.
I don't know you, but I respect you, and I hope you find happiness.

alfjnn (06/11/2015) [-] Hey. Listen.
I'm a depressed person too. So abysmally too. I consider suicide every day; lots of people do. The reason why people like you and I are stricken with a bad case of altruism, is because we don't want people to ever feel as worthless and as downtrodden as we do. I mean. I'm comedian, ya know? I do stand up. All I want to do is entertain, inspire, and make people happy. I'm gay, so I don't really get lady troubles, but I understand what it's like to have a depressed significant other while being depressed. It's a hard life; ya know? I'd never be a psychologist, goes against everything I believe in; but I respect your reasoning to do so. Being human is a shared experience; what's the point of living if you cannot share your life with others? It's great to share the planet with people like you man. It's nice that there are some people out there who really do care.

I think the original writers are capable but they'd need to leave nick.

butterduck (06/11/2015) [-] That would be pretty b0ss, I can't see what they would include tho because he didn't have a very bad child hood. Would his time as a general count?

strum (06/11/2015) [-] I honestly thought it was pretty cheap how they added Iroh into LoK.
But it is LoK were talking about so...

Bolin was a terrible comic relief and if mako died the series would have had more weight. To bad it was on nickolodeon, or the show could have aged with it's fanbase.

supervizor (06/11/2015) [-] Last second shoehorn... you mean Korra and Asami? Because that was built up over season 3 and 4. And pretty much everyone agrees on that. It was indeed a lot more subtle than the others, for obvious reasons, but you have to be blind AND stupid to not see anything between them at all.

berengar (06/11/2015) [-] I might get red thumbed for this, but I didn't like the Korra and Asami relationship. I really couldn't see the buildup for it until maybe the end of book 4 but that could be due to the fact that I am dumb as a brick when it comes to relationships . But I do not deny that the relationships in that show were not always the best, looking at you love triangle that really didn't need to be in there.

supervizor (06/11/2015) [-] Perhaps I am a bit biased because I just love girl-on-girl relationships, but I saw enough. Like the fact Korra only sent letters to Asami. You may not see that as a romantic gesture, but to me it showed Korra's trust in Asami. Romance is indeed this show's weak point, though, and most of us were in it for the awesome fights and great characters.

berengar (06/11/2015) [-] Yeah, it probably boils down to whatever your preconceived notions of the characters are. I never saw the letters as anything other than a writing to a good friend, but hey, it's not a point I am willing to fight and die over. Still liked the show though. Book three was the best imo.

Iroh was by far my favourite character - so squishy and nice.
