The Strip: My brother and I are going to battle with our anxiety and depression, and we are bringing you all with us.
Gaming: Still trying to beat Rayman with my daughter and the crushing difficulty I heard so much about later in the game is really proving to be true especially when playing with a 6 year old..
TV/Movies: Part 2 of Season 2 of The Walking Dead is turning out to be my favorite so far. Lots of tension. Oh, and if you ever want to be disturbed to your core, watch the documentary Catfish.
Music: The Nighty Nites
Life: I have struggled with anxiety and depression my whole life. Things are such in my life the last few years that it has done nothing but intensify the issue. I have decided to make a real effort for the first time in my life to try and get some help. I’ve started on Lexepro and am seeing a counselor. I would be lying if I said the comic hasn’t added greatly to my stress. Having 2 kids and a full time day job make the second full time job of the comic a real challenge. I am never not thinking about the strip and what I need to do to improve. That said, the strip is my safe bastion. My light at the end of the tunnel. I can’t imagine a time that I would stop doing the strip altogether. Though the stress of life and the added complication of my anxiety and depression will make me question it every now and again. No fear. I’m not going anywhere:)
Thank you all for the support!
Thanks,
Javis
Shotguns also work great against depression. For anxiety only a hooker will fix that.
I will have to ask my wife about the hooker thing, but her remedy to that may be castrations..so we will see.
So is this the start to the gritty rebooted Legacy Control?
Not sure…hhmmm. Maybe a departure rather than a reboot.
I’m just wondering what kind of containment spell you’ve created to keep them outside your door. Those two are all up in my house!
Stay tuned.
Javis. I’ll be the first to say, that your work ethic and determination is an inspiration to all of us. Despite a full time job, wife and two kids, you still manage to put out 3 strips a weeks, and that is very impressive. I’m a single guy and I have to struggle to find the time and engergy to create two a week. So my hats off to you. Your goals of making Legacy control work, despite all the odds, says a lot about your character, and your vision. Something I greatly admire.
Adding depression and anxiety into the mix, (and being able to openly tell us) shows me how focused and determined you are to keep on going. Especially now that you’ve taken the first step in tring to do something about it.
I wish I had half your drive.
Keep fighting buddy.
Man, kind words. Thanks so much.
I would love to take a boomstick to those things.
You gotta destroy the brain. The anxiety and depression zombies I mean.
I also have 2 plagues that visit me as well. They are just about as annoying. They are called Laziness and Procrastination. I pray they never join your already motley crew of dream killers. Keep your chin up tho Javis, things will work themselves out in time.
Thanks man:)
Same boat. Just do what you do best, be Logan like. Eventually, you will beat the ever living shit out of it and come out of that awful place.
