Comic artists! Sell me your trade paper backs! I want to support artists and I love TPBs. Will also accept hardcovers if paperback is not an option. My library has 1,569 books in it right now and I want you to help pump that number up! Please share it so an artist you love can sell me a book!

so it gets harder every day to not say fuck it. It is my hope that it never comes to that as no problem has even been improved by adding street grade pharmaceuticals to the mix, but unlike checking out early, it is not something my brain simply refuses to consider out of hand. I have never been a

the storm, if only for awhile. It does not give me any such relief. I am stuck here white knuckling it and hoping it will pass but not having any alternative other than just holding on. The closest thing I have is the knowledge that if I am ok with throwing away everything in my life, I can go buy

heroin or some other drug off some sketchy dude and probably not feel bad for a little bit. But the cost would be everything that brings me any comfort or joy. Problem being, I have been in a depression spiral so long that knowing what brings me joy is trying to remember an echo at this point and

have burnt out and I just seem to sink deeper and deeper into a sharp stillness. I tried to make my doctor understood and I thought she did, but it seems like the urgency left her once I was out of the room as well. I am not suicidal, I do not want to die and I do not think of death as a relief or

escape from the pain I am experiencing. When I tell my doctors this they don't understand that this is not an unalloyed good. As grim as it is to say, the thought of it being an option, an escape, gives a release valve for many. It's not good and it's not healthy, but it is something that can calm

really stay friends with someone who is literally sad all the time. How long before who they were becomes less important than who they are? The depression isn't lifting and I am losing touch with the "reality" that I previously used to get me through depressions. Knowing that this thought or that

thought were simply unreasonable or just a figment of my mental state rather than something real that I both can and should process. I used to use anger to burn away depression when I simply couldn't take it anymore. It didn't solve the problem and created its own toxic byproducts but now the boiler

expressing my problems to people in my support system and it eases the burden to the point that it passes. But it's not passing anymore. The weight just keeps piling on and not only am I getting crushed under the weight, it is straining my support systems to the point of snapping. How long can you

I made my world to small. I was convinced that a few truly solid places to stand would be enough and that if I ever really needed more I could simply find them as I always have.

healthing, and growth. I am simply no longer able to be the person that was able to fashion these connections and I don't have the time to do so even if I was. My decline has not been sudden but it has not been subtle and gradual either. As I have leaned on my support system more and more as my

health has diminished I see that the weight can not be spread evenly enough and without relief even the most stalwart of companions begin to flag under the constant strain.

I made my world to small. I was convinced that a few truly solid places to stand would be enough and that if I ever really needed more I could simply find them as I always have. But as my body and my mind begin to show their failing I am coming to understand that my plans made many assumptions about

my continued capacity that may not be true any longer. While the foundations I have build for myself are firm and steady, even they can fracture and crack. As one does I realize that I do not have the ability to build another near its scope. It was built on maladaptive responses to shared trauma

road because if that happens I don't think I can rebuild in my current state. The help I am getting is insufficient but more critical care would likely ruin my life and I don't seem to have the right words to ask if there is something between the two that might serve me better. I'm going to keep

moving forward, because I simply don't know what else to do. But the damage seems to be adding up and i appear ill equip to fix the damage.

Actually "solve" my problem so please have no fear that this is some kind of goodbye. I just needed to spew this out in a place that my loved ones wouldn't have to see me suffering yet again. I have never been a particularly happy person and that's ok. I found joy where I could. But the last few

years have been worse. The last few months escalated further, and finally the last few weeks I have been more or less white knuckling it 24/7. There doesn't seem to be an off ramp or relief. I'm trying to wave down as much assistance as I can without causing my whole life to go careening off the

and I don't know that there was a reason. It just kept happening. I feel my world getting smaller and smaller and less control over my body and mind every day. I am a constant roll of anger, sadness, emptyness, and pain at all hours. When I mask they get to relax because I'm "getting better" and

telling them it's just masking just hurts them more. I reach out to professionals for help be it feels so disjointed and inconsistent due to the amount of life that happens that nothing seems to move the needle. This isn't a suicide note, I don't want to die or hurt myself and I don't think that

My life is objectively great. I have a good, stable, fulfilling job. I have a beautiful wife who loves

me. Family that supports me and friends that are ride or die. Yet everyday I feel worse. I don't feel like a burden, I know that they are all getting tired. I'm never okay anymore. The person they love seems to have been hollowed out and there doesn't even seem to be a reason for it to have happened

@zal-cryptid.bsky.social I don't know if it is happening to anyone else, but I keep getting emails and notifications about the the plastic beach epilogue. Like probably ten or twelve times by now? I have never had Patreon do that before. Has anyone else had this issue?

Saw this in action today, if a generally non-political figure can share a quote from the nuremberg trials on the nature of evil with no further elaboration and you immediately clock the context and that they are talking about "your team." You are not the good guys.
