Description
Comic #206:Imagination can define people, forge their personalities and professions, drive technology and innovation! But exquisite dreams do not cancel out the visceral nightmares. The shadows that haunt and torment us, visions of evil that don't exist, but can feel SO real to our minds.

I really needed this one. I had a 'friend' that I've recently come to the conclusion that I may need to stop being friends with because he's not helping himself and actually is putting strain on my own mental well-being. A strain I don't need. I put enough strain on myself without the added help. So, as much as it saddens me it may be time to let him go as a friend.

The first passage... this is something that I've been living with since forever, and no matter how hard we try the message that dragging down others isn't going to help one improve their life just doesn't get through. And unfortunately I don't have the option of distance - physically or mentally. The best I can offer is offhand support in a way that I feel that I'm not interfering (because they at times try to drag us down and make us feel guilty for that as well).
Only a recent tragic event has resulted in them seeking and getting more professional help - and that hasn't really been easy for them either, or any of us. But it's a start.

Heres an idea: You cant fight misery or depression or any of your emotions.
ESPECIALLY the "negative emotions" theyre trying to help you, it may need seem that way but they are telling you somethign important.
The darkness is blaming yourself for being miserable, hence why "helping" others often fails, people try to cheer, to encourage, to motivate... but very often dont accept the misery of people they see just as those who are miserable dont want to accept and look at your happiness.

When im referring to the battle here its more the 'battle to keep going/staying alive/striving to deal with emotions in a healthier way' not so much fighting the emotions.

Oof that hits home. Experienced that once but could gladly distance myself from that person.
