Observing Sad Realities Of This World, I Started Using Them As Inspiration To Create These Comics (30 Pics)
I was laid off in August 2019. I was sad. Very sad. so I began to write these comics—one after the other. They helped me shine a light on how I was feeling and turn a shitty situation into something productive. For the next year, I wrote one comic every day, looking at sadness as an opportunity rather than an infliction.
Granted, I did not expect things to get even sadder—2020 provided me with endless material... but damn, was it sad.
When I reached day 365, I took a break. I was not sure if I would continue, but eventually, I decided to expand the theme to encompass all of the thoughts, feelings, hopes, and dreams that I experience on a daily basis.
You can follow me on Instagram or buy the book "Oh boy I am sad," which includes the first 365 days (and then some) on Amazon.
In the best-case scenario, they help someone feel better. In the worst-case scenario, they help me feel better.
Much love,
Josh.

tmw, I am so glad you are still here! It takes courage to get out to the other side. It's so wonderful when you find peace and joy again.

Absolutely. But you don't get there alone. It takes asking for help and that is not shameful. Its the most courageous and caring thing you can do for yourself. And I can't say enough about medications. They do not solve everything. They get you to a state of mind that you can do the work.

I may get down voted, but..... dont worry about the big stuff. It's a tub of warm water that makes you feel better. That's all that really matters. Yes, you should enjoy the small things that make you feel better. "Whatever gets you through the night" John Lennon

Dead people always are the luckiest ones because they do not feel the horrible pain of living anymore.

This can be so discouraging when you try to make a positive change and then "as usual" it all goes so wrong. Just makes you want to give up and hide. Sure, but not for too long, or you'll get comfortable with it. "No matter how many times I get knocked down I will get up again. I will never quit" Navy Seal Ethos

So, ya. Probably a lot of Pandas were telling me to shut up because I had something to say about every cartoon. The thing is, I have lived (note LIVED) with depression since I was 11 years old. I was not diagnosed until I was 32!! And the journey began. It's still a journey and sometimes it does get to me quite badly. It was only recently my psychiatrist figured it all out that it's really Bipolar ll, which can be very difficult to diagnose. I have been hospitalized twice. The first time was for a month a half. Actually a long time by today's standard. I was scary suicidal. But it was the place where I finally started learning how to heal and strategies to stay healthy/deal with the tough times. My heart breaks for those who are suffering and all I want to do is whatever I can to help. Pretty much all of my comments and replies were things that helped me in hopes they will help someone else, because I truly DO feel their pain.

I'm replying to myself to make sure I get this in. This was written by Admiral James Stockdale about one of the ways he survived the Hanoi Hilton (same prison as John McCain). "You must never confuse faith that you will prevail in the end - which you can never afford to lose - with the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they may be." And with that I will now SHUT UP.
