    I like that song. I definitely can relate to it. My wife doesn’t understand why I sometimes listen to sad or depressing music. The comment from Robin’s friend in the last panel is exactly why.

    Goth Chick got some new clothes! I like it.

      There’s a whole song that I wrote actually, I posted the lyrics to twitter last week. Here they are again:

      I WISH I HAD NEVER BEEN BORN

      That time and that place
      when daddy saw her face:
      An event I want to erase.
      He asked for her name.
      She asked just the same.
      I have them both to blame.

      This may seem sad but I’m not really glad
      I came into this world of sorrow,
      If I had my own way, I’d end it today
      ’cause I can’t handle another tomorrow.
      And I wish I had never been born.

      He asked her for a date
      and she did not hesitate.
      Oh! What a cruel twist of fate!
      They had their first kiss
      and found something they’d missed
      Why did it ever lead to this?

      I am not telling lies, and please don’t sympathize
      when I say it pains to exist.
      As far as I can tell, this may just be farewell.
      It’s nothing I want to resist.

      And I wish I had never been born.
      And I wish I had never been born.
      And I wish the cord hadn’t been torn.
      And I wish I had been stillborn.
      And I wish that condom was worn.
      And I wish I had never been born.

      —

      I was contemplating Goth Chick being in her corset but I didn’t think she would actually wear that outside.

        Hopefully someone with musical talent can set those lyrics with appropriate music. I would like to hear that.

          It does have music, not great music, mind you, I’m no pro. I just like creating things even if they’re kinda amateurish (like this comic, for example)

            I don’t know about your musical ability, but DepCom is far from amateurish. It is well drawn, well thought out, has engaging characters and tackles a serious subject in a relatable way. You should be proud of it.

    These comics help me to communicate the feelings of depression with my wife, who tries to understand, but has trouble doing so.

    So I thank you so much for drawing them.

      I wrote an entire song that I used for only one lyric. The whole song is here: https://www.depressioncomix.com/posts/336/#comment-18225

    This is why I make the comics I do. I’d write music, but I don’t have the skills to get the songs from my head.

    Find it odd the Goth Girl said to write more upbeat songs.

      She’s the kind of person that will try to tear you down even if she deep down agrees with you.

    It’s beautiful, thank you.
    That’s exactly what I feel. I wish I’d never been born.
    I don’t really want to exist anymore.

    I am so happy to see that she’s playing her guitar again!! Ever since a friend recommended this website to me last summer, I’ve loved it, but I didn’t realize how invested in the characters I was until I looked at this today and smiled and was genuinely excited and happy for this character. Thank you so much for these wonderful comics, they are so relatable!

    The depression power puff girls, attempting to fight the illness before bedtime when they have to listen to it all night.
