This hits so hard. Speaking from the standpoint of someone that occasionally struggles with anxiety as well, everything she's saying totes helps. TwT

Someone was certainly indulgent with their backgrounds today. I think it works quite well~

As much as I'm loving this story?
I'm absolutely in AWE of this amazing art/crosshatching skills!

Well done!!!

After you posted this page I actually went back for a refresh read of the whole thing so far, and I do have to say, pardon my french, this comic is fucking excellent, no shit. On so many levels.

Taking a very deep dive into some heavy subjects in a way that's really making my own mind swirl, though not quite in a bad way like your otter here.

Giving you a lot of practice honing and improving your skills as an artist, don't get me wrong, you started off on a great footing already, but both small and large touches across these pages really show a great improvement in your skill. Y'know, on top of being really well stylized for effect, in particular this case and the deepest waters of the previous pages.

Even the little bits of worldbuilding that aren't heavy handed, given that it's furry animals in a different universe, things aren't quite the same! (The office set was good for this, interesting little details all in there!)

Then, y'know, getting us to really root for this otter to reach a good place, and at least in my case, knowing some of these issues he's dealing with.

Anyways, apologies for the ramble, but tonight my brain's in a very strange place and re-reading this was an interesting experience. Oh, yeah, and of course, can't forget how great the fantasy of ending up in a surprise nursery is, but that's another story. I'm also super tempted to share this with some other furry pals of mine that aren't even into the diaper stuff just because of the effect it's having on me.

Keep up the good work, seriously!

I can do this on occasion when my anxiety isn't super ramped up. I still have days where I have to really wrestle. It usually hits me as I'm trying to get to sleep at night which is so infuriating. :D

That's a really great metaphor for meditating. I'm going to have to remember that one.

Thanks for getting me to practice mediating for a few minutes. I don't do this often enough, and it's quite good for me.

The crosshatching on this page is really excellent, it's such a delight to look at!

I'll second that this is really becoming something I want to share with folks, it's a really good inside view on anxiety.

This page is absolutely beautiful! Reminds me a bit of Don Rosa's style.

Also why had I missed this comic before?!

The thoughts bouncing around is too real. I wish I could slow my brain down and think of nothing

This page and the concept it presents makes me wanna listen to some trance music.

the visual of all the junk in the river building up in his "stream of thought" is a cool way of showing the intrusive thoughts forcing their way in where they don't belong.
