Part 2 of my ‘Coming Down comic’. It’s been really helpful in therapy thinking about what’s the same, and what’s different between now and before I started anti-depressants. I’ve always been lucky enough to have amazing friends – they’ve changed over time, but I’m forever grateful to people who I relied on/currently rely on when things get extra tough.

I’m probably never going to not be an anxious person, and I’m always gonna be critical, sensitive, and have a close relationship with sadness and depression. I feel like I have a stronger sense of self, and more tools to notice when I’m not doing so well, and to help turn it around. It’s a massive uphill battle, but I feel like I’ve got a good kit of tools.
