Jade

Sooch mah heart mah soul 😭😭😭🫶💔

Catherine

Omg 🥺 I’m so glad they’re communicating and getting this all out! Those are some heavy feelings 🥺 Nothing wrong with getting help ❤️

Meg

Spiraling vent sess cuz he feels safe and seen 💕 love that they’re communicating like this! Also I’ve been reading so much manga, I read the panels backwards 🤣

LMNOP

The way I relate to Sooch here. Especially when I was first diagnosed.

PV

“Woah baby” I- 🥴🤭🥴🤭 I mean- YES communication ! I love these two

Teri Hano

😭😭😭😭 OUUUUU!!! SOOOCH!!!

Suzy Williams

The shame that comes with a diagnosis is so real. 💔 it feels like failure. Poor sooch.

underwraps

Wrap that boy up like a burrito and snuggle him until he comes to his senses 😭

Matthew

Well now I’m just thinking of a future where Howie opens up his own family medicine practice and Sooch is the receptionist who gets the patient’s last name correct but butchers the first name every single time, while Howie just looks on fondly

Blue

I’m like that too, honestly. My psychiatrist just wanted to put me on antidepressants, but I really didn’t want to. I’m okay with taking medicines, but I also don’t want to be dependent on them. Since I’m a pharmacy technician, I see what it does to some people, but I’ll never think less of people who do take it because it does help them.

Ari

As someone who takes Adderall for ADHD, I totally get the whole thing of worrying about becoming reliant on it. But at the same time, the whole point is that you can rely on it to help you function in your day to day life, and that’s not a bad thing.

Luna_Lena

It took me reminding myself that my brain was made for survival, not capitalism, to convince myself that medication wasn’t some kind of failure 💜 US society doesn’t do a very good job of teaching us to be kind to ourselves

Matthew

Also Sooch publishes short stories

Beren

Hey baby, yes we’re overwhelmed because of ADHD, but we have great jobs as everyone 😉

VL

Literally sobbing. Looks like a conversation I've had with my husband many times. I found out THIS YEAR at a big age that I have ADHD. And I had imposter syndrome. About a learning disability! Then I tried Adderall and passed out like I had been chloroformed. Turns out, yup, I'm eat up with ADHD. Trying Concerta tomorrow! Thanks for giving me a character that makes it feel like I'm not doing this all alone. Sooch and I will figure it out together. ❤️

clem

COMMUNICATION 👏 IS👏 KEY 👏

GoblinStylez

NO! MY BOY! 😭 But, honestly, thinking like that is so relatable and it sucks. 😢❤

Bittie

Parents 😭 typo. It's fixed now.

vv

‘I build muscle to show off for you’ ‘Alright.’ This is killing me💀

Jane Boggs

I’m loving the little touches. They seem subconscious. Howie with his hand on Casey’s leg, Casey playing with Howie’s hair. Casual. Little things that come with familiarity and intimacy 🥰

theo

don't forget howie's other hand

Gimme all your BL

I was trying to point it out without being that guy 🤣

Jane Boggs

You mean on his butt!? I just saw it ☺️

Nuncatierra

Came here to comment the same thing lol

Zofie M.

I feel so seen I wanna cry.

Insaner

THE REP. God it's so good. Thank you Bittie.

Bella

We know that Sooch has struggled with low self esteem because of how hard school has been for him but this is the perfect time for Howie to remind him that he’s an amazing and lovable person with or without meds! 🥺🫶

Insaner

Let it out friend 🫂, you are seen. You are important. You matter.

Teddy Chanel

I love this comin and these 2 more and more each time a new comic comes out

DragonRider

🥲 it's so relatable. Adult diagnosis is hard. Been feeling dumb, calling myself stupid or clumsy or forgetful most of my life. But it's all anecdotal, can be laughed off as a joke or contradicted by friends and family. Now I have a diagnosis. There is proven something *wrong* with me. Thats how it is portrayed in society - its wrong, and broken, and I am not good enough. The need to prove myself at every turn multiplies. Maybe it's not so bad if I can survive without medication. But we deserve to do more than survive. We deserve to thrive. Even if the majority of world isn't made for our brains.

SunGlitter

I love this conversation so much…so real, I feel you Sooch, spiraling like that…

Virginia Williams

As an AUDHD person I relate hard. That internalized ableism is rough.

ProfessorPotato

Is anyone else unable to scroll or view the second image?

Amelia Rector

Woah, babe. Time out. You’re spiraling. Let’s pause for a second. I totally feel for Sooch. I struggle with the idea that I was too mentally weak to get through my struggles on my own. I totally understand, but it’s also important to figure out if those thoughts are things that are true or things that your mind is creating to try and get you to spiral. The mind is a rude bitch sometimes. Hang in there Sooch. You got your boo. You’ll be ok.

good1bl

I feel a little bitter when someone acts that way about taking medication. I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when I was very young, so I don't really remember a time when didn't have to take insulin to survive and, now, other medications to prevent development of any complications. I know that feeling of being "broken," and it takes a lot to cope with that, but I don't understand being so adverse to taking a pill that will improve your quality of life. I guess my bitterness comes from the thought, "at least you don't have to take it to survive. What's the big deal? It's one little pill." This is something completely new to Sooch, and it is a big deal to him. My feelings may be irrational and unfair, but I can't help it. Definitely something I need to work on.

Kattyyy

I'd love to have a medication for autism sometimes gimme the adderall equivalent pls 🙏 absolutely nothing wrong with it

Kuroo

Me too 🙁

fivedollaradjective

My husband's grad school advisor has ADHD and she is very well established in her field and makes lots of money. It's a matter of controlling it. Which I understand is a rather hard pill to swallow when the diagnosis comes this late in life, but it's never too late. You got this Sooch. And better yet, you got Howie.

Olitoady

Same. Thinking you can’t do anything by yourself.. that the med is doing it all. It make it easier to think we still failed and that the success isn’t ours. :(

AngelShoes

The unexpected grief of realizing how impaired you are after diagnosis... it's fucking real and fucking heavy.

Sumthindarkside

It does take a while and maturity to acknowledge if you need medication, and if you will need it in the long term, which is really hard. It took me years to get through denial to acknowledge that I should have gotten medical help earlier, and not let my pride and ego stop me from taking meds for my ADHD and Epilepsy. (it went into remission for several years.) Now I function a lot better, and I am calmer, luckily my medication being covered by the Provincial disability program. There's a reason why I'd say that it's something one should do when one is in Post-Secondary or high school when diagnosing and such services are covered in order to ensure you get the help one needs. here in Canada, we opt for more holistic methods before hopping to medication, and it opens up services like CBT programs to help manage other symptoms and ways to cope, also covered by the disability plan.

kells

I had cancer while in uni and have AUDHD. Internally, I was always like “what 20 year old can barely function to this extent” and really thought I would drop out of uni at some points. Instead, I graduated with honors and immediately got the job offer I wanted after graduating. To anyone else who might read this, if you’re struggling in uni and barely surviving, pls pls pls consider making use of disability accommodations, medical withdrawals, and medication. The worst thing that could happen is that status quo continues (i.e. your uni just says “no” and the medication gives you weird side effects so you continue feeling like crap). The best thing that could happen is that you might get the help needed to not crash and burn. Sooch honestly could really benefit from all of the same services that helped me (minus cancer treatment stuff ofc).

Ximinnie

Oh baby 🥺 it’s so sad that he feels this way, I understand, you feel like you’re having help. But it is not the same, you can do anything, you just need to regulate your body, which is why we use medicine! I work in a high stress international law firm, and ive been climbing ranks even though i have GAD and OCD because I was able to listen to my body when it required help. You can do it Sooch 🩵

Katie

Sooch..... 😢

Jennifer

I get it, I have trouble sticking to all my meds but I’d be so thankful if I could get some ADHD meds as a 43 year old that has trauma from not getting the help I desperately needed when I was in my early twenties. But as a character please add in the importance of taking those meds to improve your life quality. So many people try to vilify these meds that help exponentially.

KnittedChaos

Ugh. I understand this. Thanks to films, television and other media (much of it comedy as early as the 1950s), there is this deeply pervasive societal blanket thought of "if I take pills, I'm insane!". Yes, there was some medical comedy earlier than that, but television really bumped up the "psychiatric meds = loony bin" sentiment past eleven. [Over-generalization for point-making here] Then for the feminine it's "Even the doctors think I'm hysterical, and this MUST be a placebo because it's all in my head!". Masculine thought tends towards "This is emasculating, I'm not a pussy, I can't be insane, what will my (social circle) think!". Me? I want to take the antidepressants for my autism symptoms/comorbidities to be human adjacent, but I get serotonin sensitivity and the side effects listed. Seriously, my head is pro science and doctors while my body is crunchy granola and will only react to (legal in Canada) cannabis. It's a weird duality.

Katia North

I understand the feeling, but if he'd had to wait ten more years, and fight to get diagnosed, and all that, adderall would be his favorite thing on the planet. Getting diagnosed when you're young is lucky lucky lucky.

justsomeguy

i resonated with that last paragraph. i took antidepressants for like a month in college and ruined my life (hyperbole) for that same month… but i know HOW it works and i think these advances and destigmatization are important so i just sit over here with my joint while i encourage my friends and compatriots to seek medical attention 🙃🤣

Forester

His thoughts are so real it hurts!

Stephanie

Aw Sooch! That’s breaking my heart the poor baby😭

Jenny

☹️Oh Sooch! Honey (holds his hands). These thoughts are so valid and probably a sign of his mental health and even hearing it from outside sources it’s still SO HARD to combat those thoughts from within. Medication can help! And therapy. And time. And a good shroom trip lol. But no one treatment is ever “the right answer” - Sooch is blessed with a supportive boyfriend and the tools he has access too. It’s refreshing to see this conversation in a comic, just grounding them and their relationship in real world dynamics. Thank you for giving space for Sooch’s mental health story! I’m excited to hear more about his writing!!

Jordan Bressman

ADHD sucks! But starting Adderall was life changing for me. Hopefully he can see it as a arm floaty to help keep him from drowning

SamiBoden

Oof ouchie. This hit me right in my late diagnosis

Morgenish

This hits where it hurts, so real. ❤️

Mar

Awww sooch, Howie would never think that of you ♡♡

Kuroo

Still doesn't work for me 😞

GMRKitty

Oof the internalized shame of ADHD is reaaal!! Also, if your brain doesn’t produce the chemicals on its own, store-bought is fine!!

floppsymoppsy

I get it. And right now he feels like any accomplishments he has will be accredited to his medication and not his own efforts. Totally untrue but feelings and facts are different.

Gracie Bou

The shame of relying on medication is real and hard to work through. Sometimes it jusy takes time and support

Stella

This is a very accurate representation of having ADHD and being on adderall (speaking from my own personal experience). Even though I know I need it to function to my best ability I feel a bit of shame about it because I can’t do things “normal” people can do without it. There’s also the downside of being so dependent on it where if you even miss 1 or 2 pills the withdrawal is very evident..

stinky

when Howie calls him BABY 😭😭😭💓💓💓

figaro

That hits a little too close to home

Kimber

Great Practical Magic reference 💯💯

GMRKitty

Thanks, I couldn’t remember what it was from. But it really stuck in my head LOLZ.

DDonovan

Oh Sooch, there shouldn’t be shame in taking meds. It’s just the way your brain is wired. Meds help you reach your potential without your brain working against you.

J DH

Seriously, I miss a day or two and my coworkers are commenting. It’s frustrating

Biisio

this- plus, if you take it too often, the effectiveness decreases, so you have to take a break every one in a while. Its annoying.

RAD

OOF I know this feeling toooo well as an adult with ADHD. The shame that comes along with ADHD is so real, I feel so seen!

Any

Poor baby 😭 I relate too much

kittimiyo

I remember when I first started taking Adderall, I was also down about it because it felt like I was cheating somehow

kuro-tan

i used adhd meds when i was much younger, so i didn’t really have the social conditioning to feel that way about it (stopped because of side effects) but i do sometimes feel like i need to suffer through cramps or a headache instead of taking ibuprofen 😂

felicity alma

In some ways, my late ADHD diagnosis got me a pass here, because I had already come to terms with my brain chemistry being wonky through taking antidepressants and realising I'd be on them for probably the rest of my life. With the ADHD meds, it was just pure relief that they worked for me.

Preston

My OCD + GAD + ADHD ahh feels for you Sooch <3

theo

ocd and adhd truely is the death duo

Clayraro

Don’t worry Söch, you’re not useless…capitalism just sucks. It’s a society problem, we are just the ones getting punished for it.

Leaf

Overthinking at its finest… it’s a mood killer fr

onlylivionce

I feel bad for my poor Soochie. I really have no patience for medication stigma tho. It drives me nuts when people overthink it. I’ve come close to telling my poor grandma, “ JUST TAKE THE PILL!” 😂

HoneyPotatoe

AH everytime you update I go "bitttiieee <3 your aarrrtt <3 you've come so far and it just keeps getting better"

Pheobe Jackson

Unrelated but your pfp is so cute! Yall look happy 🥰

SamiBoden

Aw thank you. That was our engagement pictures

ProfessorPotato

I've been reading back through and every so often and post just won't load. Like this one. 🫤

Frankie Millcarek

No point suffering! Take a reasonable amount of meds and make sure you discuss your cramps and headaches with your doctors. So many people think, "Oh, it's just normal cramps," but also endometriosis or adenomyosis are very common and very underdiagnosed. We've just been conditioned to think that suffering is normal.

Frankie Millcarek

Rejection sensitive dysphoria is a fucking killer. 💔 Baby Sooch.

ublep

Woah. Baby. (On my knees rn) 🛐
