So real

I've been struggling with depression for more than a decade and the portrayal in the manga was so well done, that it made me tear up. I relate so hard with the insomnia and wanting to jump down tall buildings or in front of a train... and having my dream to be to die. And appreciating people who don't look down on you or pity you for your condition... I'm thankful I got to read this beautiful story.

    Yeah, same here.
    My situation is similar to Kiuchi, I discovered an illness, wasn't able to work anymore and got depressed. Feeling useless made me want to die even more than the excruciating pain I feel from my illness.
    I sincerely hope things get better for you too and the intrusive thoughts stop.

    I'm sorry to hear that... life is so unfair, but I hope you are still surrounded by supportive people and have access to care.

    Thank you for your kind words as well! I suffer from CPTSD so I don't know if I'll ever be "normal" again. But I'm doing what I can.

    I got diagnosed with CPTSD last year, this manga will forever have a place in my heart and so will you and others in this comment section. Shits hard but we keep on going, it is hard to wish for things to get better but I wish you all the strength and love and support you need to face the difficult things and keep living on.

    Thank you so much! I wish the same for you, I hope you will be able to get better. I heard that IFS and EDMR are effective forms of therapy for people with CPTSD, unlike the common CBT, so maybe you could try those. I haven't tried those yet, but would like to once I get the money.
