Read ALL The Words of the Day: After nearly six months of silence, Allie Brosh of Hyperbole and a Half fame returns with a brand new blog post detailing her recent bout of depression, and how she ultimately overcame her sadness by turning its unintended consequence into a superpower.

[h&a1/2.]

Finally. 

Also, I especially liked this:

… trying to use willpower to overcome the apathetic sort of sadness that accompanies depression is like a person with no arms trying to punch themselves until their hands grow back.  A fundamental component of the plan is missing and it isn’t going to work.

Whenever I get sad lately, it just makes me feel selfish. Like, what right do I have to be sad over something comparatively stupid, when there are people who have real things, major things, to be sad about? And then I feel silly, because I can’t really prevent myself from getting sad. It just happens. Why can’t sadness just be sadness? Why does it have to come with additional emotions?
