A story of depression, told in a cartoon comic filled with hope

Colleen Butters is an artist who is both dedicated to makeup art and illustration. There’s a famous comic strip by her circulating around the Internet, which she posted to Tumblr a couple of years ago.

 In this comic, she tells a story of depression. From how subtle can the first signs be, to how people who suffer this process sometimes act as if everything was alright in front of others. But it isn’t exactly alright, and Colleen raises awareness about it.

 In this comic filled with hope, she tells others that they are not alone. People who suffer from depression can’t hide their symptoms forever, and they shouldn’t: depression is a struggle that you shouldn’t face alone, because there are people who will understand, love and support you. It encourages anyone facing it to seek out help and keep on fighting: not alone, but together.
