Diary Comics: Week 10

Instagram caption: Not entirely sure what kind of sorcery this is, but I'm taking it as a sign that some kind of work is coming my way...

Instagram caption: Sweating is one thing, but losing my hair and making me fat? This has to end. I am making a doctor's appointment and I'm taking back control over my body! It's just a shame I have to lose my mind in doing so... choosing between the two is tricky, but these drugs haven't really helped my mood swings anyway, aside from confiscating my tears... which, ironically, I kinda miss!

Instagram caption: Unemployment sucks. I did enjoy remaking my New Yorker diary comic though, that was fun - if you're new here you'll have to scroll back through my comics to find it for context, it looks a lot like this one, hehe. Note, the tears aren't coming from my eyes in the final panel, because I can't cry - again, if you're new here, this is a side effect of antidepressants I am on, but plan to taper off soon. Also, final note, the wording in the email has been altered for comic effect, I did actually appreciate not being ghosted by this lovely publication 💚

Instagram caption: It seems Fig agreed... he beheaded them all!

Instagram caption: Oh darn it!

Instagram caption: As much as it sucks to live with a mental health condition, the beauty of cyclothymic disorder is that the depressive phases lift, and you get to be superhuman for a while before they come back around... and the timing is perfect, right before the weekend 🤪

Instagram caption: The little minx… and don’t try and tell me she’s just keeping my seat warm… NOT true!
