Still Going (Patreon)

When I was young, being sick meant that I'd spend the day on the couch, eating crackers, drinking 7-Up, and watching game shows until the main stations switched over to soap operas and daytime television. Fortunately, cable came along and gave me more options for what I got to watch.

Either way, weather it was the cold or flu, I'd be better in a day or two and headed back to school.

I wish mental illness was so easy to deal with.

"I feel bad, so I just need to lay down for a day or two, and then I'm okay, right?"

"What do you mean I've got this forever now?"

"Fine, at least there's medicine that helps right?"

"What do you mean the medicine might take a month to take effect and could cause other problems?"

"Well, at least America has decent health care, right?"

"Oh fuck..."

All in all, I am getting by, mostly thanks to my wife, who is unwilling to let me give up and return to the earth.

I really wish I felt like drawing, like being the old me, but I'm still struggling to get there, but each day I get through is another that I'm still alive, and that is progress.

Take care of yourselves, and one another,

Love,

B.
