I was diagnosed hypomanic-depressive bipolar (which stemmed from clinical depression that had gotten worse) last year and had been on anti-depressants and going to monthly therapy since. It wasnt something that I divulged to everyone I know, just to the people closest and most important to me. I still struggle at times but its much better than how I was about a year ago, at least I didnt wake up everyday anymore wanting my life to end. Today, though, Im letting it out in the open because this comic was something that I could relate to and maybe, someone out there could relate to it as well. People take depression lightly but get shocked when suddenly, someone commits suicide becayse of it. Being depressed is not an act, its one of the hardest things I had to overcome.
