Hey. I’m currently in the process of writing a webcomic. If this is insensitive and offensive to you, please tell me and I’ll take it down, since I’m not really good at taking cues or noticing many things. I myself have been struggling with a persistent loneliness and anxiety that’s consuming my life, and this is only way I’ve found to cope with it. I only have this. I wouldn’t say I’m depressed, I‘ve never went to diagnose myself or anything like that. And the burning passion I have for writing stories would also say completely otherwise. They’re my escape. But years ago, I didn’t have any of this. I reeked in bed and went on a never ending cycle of guilt and shame, only to never move and just think all day of exiting myself from this planet just to escape. I’m not in that mindset right now and I live for my family and to let the stories I write be seen, unlike I was able to do for myself back then and even now.

For some reason, I often find myself going into this subreddit so many times that my search history instantly recognizes it. It doesn’t feel as lonely and overwhelming when I see people talking about themselves and their lives. I relate to a lot of struggles, others I don’t. But the point is, while I’d like to see how people verbally interpret and write about their situation, about the world we live in, about the things they’d want to tell everyone and anyone; I also hope this can help a bit. Nothing I do could erase or fix any situation you are in right now, and I’m sorry I’m not there. I’m sorry this is all I can write. But I hope maybe writing this can take some off that weight away, even if it’s nearly nothing at all. I’d like to hear you. What is something you’d want people to know?
