Wow! Thank you everyone. I have to thank the OCD community on tumblr as well, since many major blogs have been super supportive of this comic. I’m working on a (completely different) project right now, which hopefully will go live someday, but I still keep up with this blog. Perhaps there will be some Ruth for Inktober!

As always, if you would like to see other examples of my art, peek my instagram (chelseamugs). Sometimes I also post on my my main tumblr, which is mindhecked.

Sometimes, a friend might test the waters a bit to see if they can feel safe telling you a big secret. Here, Ruth does exactly that and Diego begins to respond in the most understanding way he knows how. He wants his friend to feel safe.

The return of Diego!

For many people, there’s a sort of “a-ha!” moment when they realize a certain mental illness might apply to them. Of course, we need professionals to diagnosis and treat mental illness, but a moment like this can be the first step to getting better.

New content! It’s incredibly important to have supportive people in your life when you have a mental illness. If you suspect one of your friends, classmates, family members or whoever is struggling, please be that light.

Page 7! I forgot Miss Mavitz’s glasses in one panel and it’s driving me a little nuts. Please pretend I didn’t! This is a big page, as Ruth starts to realize there might be a name for what she is worried about.
