Heavy Pour

By this point in this pandemic series of comics, you may be thinking to yourself, “Damn! These are some serious comics.” This is what 2020 did to me! It made me evaluate my life. So these comics are about some things that impacted how I handled the pandemic. I took some hits; who has gotten this far into covid unmarred by some turmoil? Okay, rich people have had it pretty good.

We all lean on our crutches too heavily sometimes. But falling into the same booze cycle as my mom & being unable to control it is a big fear of mine ever since she died. I’m hyper aware of how much I drink. By the way, don’t I sound like a pretty fun person to hang out with?!

Bipolar Triggers

Posted on February 1, 2023 by nachonova

The pandemic has spread us all thin in many ways, but mental health has been impacted hard. It’s an under acknowledged component of enduring this marathon of crises. In some ways I feel like I’m regaining a sense of normalcy after three years, but in some ways I’m still maladjusted as hell! Bipolar is a lot to manage.

I tell everyone who I speak about with mental health in real life, but cognitive behavioral therapy helped me gain more awareness of my thoughts & their impact. I have more of an ability to manage symptoms of mania & depression as they crash into my skull.

But this is a comic about coping, more than anything. These are some ways I deal. Things get a little imbalanced from time to time, for sure. I’m trying to maintain some awareness of it. Making comics helps, too!
