That strip made me change my view on the self-censorship issue, which is my future research topic (if I succeed in studies). I looked around, at political and social clashes, but didn’t look at myself, whereas concealing one’s mental health struggles due to fear of misunderstanding, abuse and/or consequences in one’s career is a form of self-censorship as well. Strange that I have missed it but you helped me to see it.
You do a great job.
You’re right, it definitely is a form of self-censorship. Even though I do this comic only a handful of people in my real life know about my depression since I was diagnosed 22 years ago. Mental illness disclosure is something you are more likely to regret saying than regret not saying, so self-censorship has been the chosen route for me. It’s kind of an isolating thing which you probably understand well. I look forward to whatever insights you discover and can share.
Thank you, will do. I understand you.

See,this is how I feel.
Part of me just wants this to end, but on the other hand I know I can get through this,
When I’m depressed my last thought before I go to bed is I hope “I hope I don’t wake up” and my first thought when I do is “no one would care if I hadn’t”. Going to sleep and getting up are two of the hardest things to do when you have depression.

So very familiar. Well illustrated, thank you.
That’s my morning today. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment. BTW, another comment you made to a different post inspired a comic I drew up today. Thank you for that too.
