Description
This is something very much out of my comfort zone for me... sequential art!The story and text used here verbatim, is by user/shrewdDis on reddit, you can read it here : www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comβ¦
I cannot write to save my life, and wanted something short and self contained I can use as practice.

A beautiful comic, but I can't entirely agree with the message. Schizophrenia can have a lot of negative impacts on a person's life and can seriously affect how they are able to take care of themselves and form relationships with other people. It is great that this person's delusions and hallucinations where generally positive as many are not as lucky, though it is also important to realize that without medication she could easily get to the point where she thinks she is making a magic potion or something and accidentally poisens herself.

I really enjoyed your sequencing in this. Especially that transition with one of them walking out the door and the clouds turning into a picture

Ooof! I could tell this was going to be an emotional one before even clicking into it. Well done!

It has become very common for humanity. We're nothing special, ruin our planet and there specimen of our kind that are absolutely disgusting and in charge of power. We're worthless scum trying to be something 'special' we simply aren't and never will be.

Builds up a warm, charming story... and then smashes it with a brick.
I have had conversations like this, usually with people on the Internet I never physically met. One such person said modern society, has one, agreed-upon reality. It's not the most exciting reality, or the even the best, it's really pretty dull, but it is one that at least allows everyone to interact with each other. We enforce this reality as we enforce laws on each other's behavior, to allow us to live together in a society. ...but it's not the only reality we could percieve, or live in.

This is really pretty. I have a very large imagination too, and this sounds like something my younger self would've come up with.

Since I'm a kid, I always had a vivid imagination. I drew and painted a lot. And I also used to talk to trees, rocks, streams and even the Sun. And you know what? I'm pretty sure they were answering me back at this time. Then, my parents told me to stop that, saying that this wasn't a normal behaviour for a kid. So I stopped. Not speaking to nature, but to tell others I did. A few years after, my family had a very rough time. My parents divorced, then my father comitted suicide. My mind was in tiny little pieces. I took years to stick the pieces back together, as I was struggling with depression. At this moment in my life, Nature stopped speaking to me. Or it was me who didn't listened to it anymore. I don't know. But what I know is that all was grey from then on. But sometimes, when I walk into a park or when I go hiking in the forest, I sometimes hear again distant sounds that sound like voices in the grasses and the trees. Then, I smile and I tell myself that everything is not so bad.
Thanks a lot for this comic. Not only the story is heart touching, but the drawings are, as always, beautiful.

As someone who leans into trees myself, this was really well done. Thank you for sharing.

Puts a different spin on mental problems for those involved: is it really better for them to get treatment, or does this simply make them and their "issues"more manageable for the rest of society, while they suffer? Worth seeing the other side of the fence for once, especially when the "ill" person's reality doesn't negatively affect others.
Personally, I'd very much prefer this girl to be a friend of mine over almost all other people I've ever met in my life so far. It's the majority of people's reality that's screwed nowadays anyways, while lots of "retards" know what reality is all about.

this is the most stereotypical crazy women thing I have ever read, confusing mental issues with special magic powers.

You could be a little kinder in your choice of words. But yes, when someone suffers from schizophrenia, oftentimes they cannot tell the difference between whatβs real and what is not.
its a difficult condition for both the sufferer and the people around them. In this case, medical help was sought and was effective.

sorry but sometimes the truth isn't political correct or kind. these days the portray of women in the media suffers from an extreme victim complex and demand to be celebrated for literally everything. they easily dismiss any from of criticism or advise as "sexism". that leads to women believing that nothing is ever their own mistake and that they have no faults of their own.Β
this arrogance and delusion in return leads to stuff like in your story where they believe that that they have magic powers and everybody who tries to help them is "just is an idiot who doesn't understand them".
I mean there are several multi billion dollarΒ quasiscience industries that sucker women into paying thousands of dollar to get magic healing powers from crystals.Β

How sexist. When men think they have magical powers, they form baby-raping cults or become serial killers. Talking to trees is pretty harmless. If that was all her problem was, she might have gone without the medication. Usually people who are 'odd' or 'eccentric' only seek professional help if they become filled with terror and are unable to cope with what is going on in their own minds. Just being unusual in itself isn't a condition that needs correction.

women actually abuse and kill more kids then men in western countries according to crime statistics.Β
honestly I could see how a crazy women like this could be driven into killing little boys to "save mother nature" as well.
there are some seriously sick female witch cults out there.Β
just recently I read about a few hundred crazy women who tried to curse Donald Trump and did some seriously disgusting and filthy things with human body fluids for the "ritual"

Sometimes the drugs can make it worse. For example, all the mass-shooters have something in common...use of psychotropic medication. Now they're finding out the drugs don't even cure depression. Crazy how something that is supposedly used to subdue and control mentally ill people actually makes them worse. True mental illness is RARE in the general population. If you put together numbers, the mentally ill people would proportionally be less violent than normal people.

yeah most "crazy" people who end up becoming violent are just depressed and feel outcast from society.Β
we don't need more drugs we need to make our society more hopeful and happy again.
we need more a stronger sense of community and belonging.

That's not truth friend, that's opinion. You're confusing your personal vindications for fact. Please keep this sort of snideness to yourself next time, it's neither helpful nor worth the minute it took to make sense of.

Sad. Beautiful. I like her, an attractive/cute/sweet kind of psychosis/crazy. Maybe they are just suppressing the fact that she actually is a fairy!? Okay... maybe not... but wonderful little short. Full of feeling.
