Actually a pretty good representation of depression and anxiety medication
This immediately reminded me of Adventures with Anxiety, a browser game about living with Anxiety.
It’s very well done, and simultaneously funny & serious.
He still doesn’t look happy
Pills don’t magically make people constantly happy. But without them it’s barely possible to be happy in the moment
For me, they made me feel nothing even when I should feel something. My heart goes out to anyone going through this.
I’m not sure if you’ve tried this but just in case, ask your doctor to try other types of antidepressants which might not have the same effect. One pill might totally numb you but another might leave the highs alone.
I hope you and anyone else reading this can find something that works for you!
He doesn’t habebthe direct pain of being chewed on, but the beast lingers there waiting for the pills to wear off.
Of course they aren’t happy.
That’s because he killed death with pills, apparently, and now he became death himself, as it can be noticed by black clothes in last panel. And it is hard and ungrateful work to be a death. Why would he be happy?
The comic is about depression, not death.
He doesn’t look happy because the medication doesn’t magically cure him.
All they do is temporarily quench the longing to die. At least sometimes. The other times they just help you to fall asleep before you fall apart.
fake, the doctor didn’t tell him the dog was all in his head
Dude just train your dog not to bite.
It’s for metaing these nuts
I love that Google is so absolutely trash now that when you Google “What is a meta for?” it just assumes you’re a moron and refuses to even consider the possibility of throwing up a blog of dad jokes that includes that exact line.
This joke exists, Google, I know it does. You will not be spared.
Edit: DDG got me
What’s a meta for?
Nothin! What’s a meta for you?
This is apparently a Christian joke that I do not understand, that or a meta joke about another set up about “What is a meta,” but DDG found it, dammit.
He had to sell his jacket to afford the doctor’s appointment 😞
He’s still wearing it when he feeds the pupper his night night yums, which would be after the appointment and after picking up the prescription.
