Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I had this problem when I was going through some shit (bi-polar) more than a decade ago. My shrink asked me if I could take a medical leave from work to figure out what meds would be the best fit. After initially declining, I accepted that I couldn't go on and took a medical leave for 90 days (protected in California).
We got me stabilized on fewer meds and my situation drastically improved. My job was still hell, and that eventually broke me, but I would have spun out harder and faster (suicide, I'm pretty sure), without dialing in the meds. Quitting that job was one of the most substantial decisions of my life. (I still attempted suicide later, but that was a product of abandoning treatment, not failure of treatment.)
Treatment can work. It can be hard to get it right. Also, bingo, mother fuckers!
