Sometimes, you just have to laugh (Art by Lotix) by FeyPhoenix

Sometimes, you just have to laugh (Art by Lotix)

FeyPhoenix

To those struggling with depression, every day is a battle. The battle becomes infinitely harder when the very thing you are fighting against is yourself. Zetsubou knows this struggle well. Though her depression is a direct result from the symbiotic slime that makes its home as her tail, she cannot just remove it. To remove it would have the same result as someone committing suicide. When that pain and disconnected feeling becomes too much, sometimes Zetsy thinks about forcing her tail off.

It's not a game. It's not a choice. But then sometimes, she just stares her depression right in the face and laughs. To think that something so silly can make her want to stop living... it's almost amusing.

She gives her eternal companion a pat, smirking softly through her tears and chuckles. "Just another day. We made it through another day..." The tail, though having a mind of its own, is always able to feel Zetsy's emotions. It is confused to why Zetsy is laughing, but won't complain. It's life also depends on her, after all.

    I'm currently suffering from a heavy amount of depression and just keep pushing to find rest and respite from it, I know that the depression can't last forever. I know there is alot more to be said about it, but I do not currently have the words for it. For the past few days, my depression has been hitting pretty hard, but, despite that, I keep pushing and hoping for something to happen, I keep pushing for something better, I just need to keep trying and not give up. I do like the artwork and in a way, that's how I feel when dealing with my depression, its' something that I can't just remove. It's disheartening when friends just don't seem to understand why I can't just be happy, like I'm choosing to be sad. Again, I love the artwork and the story of the character in it.

      It's hard to understand when you are not in the situation/don't have the affliction.
