Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for February 20, 2025

hmmm yoga?

Aw.

Me in the mornings wondering if I should really go to work and be verbally and emotionally abused

Hang in there girl. It’s worth it.

No baby. Not the end of the world…but you can see it from there.

That’s not what they mean by pillow talk ;)

I think we all know days like those.

My choice is always, “Do I want out of this? Or, do I want to get to the bottom of it?” Over time it has ALWAYS turned out that allowing that second thing is the only way out of it that lasts. Less thinking, more feeling. Tough, ragged, nasty, dark road. But quite healing. Not for everybody.

Sending you a big hug, Amanda!

I see you, Amanda.

My words to myself in that situation (when I was working) JUST DO IT!!! I turned my mind off and Just Did It.

Been there. Done that. What? You know, thinking too much, giving it too much thought. Why? The Glooms. Churchill called it the Black Dog. Take heart. If you want. Turn on music. Sing to the cats. you’re kidding. Nope, maybe it will work for you too. Supportive prayers to youuuu. =^.^=

Amanda, I’m so sorry you’re suffering! Hang in there; you’re not alone. I deal with depression too, and so do many of my friends. From reading your comic, I know you’re a woman of faith. At jw[dot]org, there are some wonderful articles you’ll appreciate about how, in addition to medical treatment, the Bible helps us in practical ways when we face depression and other emotional burdens. Just type “coping with depression” in the search box. I hope you are feeling better very soon!

You look like I feel girl. Hope things get better soon for you. Grab the cat and cover up. We need you, but not until you’re up to it okay? We’ll all be waiting patiently. BUT I do hope you’ve been to the doctors for a visit or two…

Is this still from four years ago, or is this in the now? Stay strong.

God’s will.

Hugs! ❤️❤️❤️
