Cartoonist Allie Brosh describes her fight with depression using painful and raw, yet comical, realism in her blogs. A blog titled Adventures in Depression uses simple cartoon images to poignantly demonstrate how depression feels.

Her follow up blog, Depression Part Two, chronicles another bout with major depression, along with people’s lack of understanding and little empathy for her plight.

Through unusual and humorous circumstances, Brosh is able to move through these dark episodes.
