Zebediah:
I have been there, Faye.  I'm not an alcoholic, but I have certainly been in the place where every possible road ahead looks like hopeless bullshit and the temptation to take the shortest road is strong.

Faye has something I didn't. She has Marten. She'll get through this.

sluthy:
Corinne almost prescribed Faye antidepressants eight IRL years ago, but went the natural route instead. Who knows if they would've helped, or if she'll consider them now?

dexeron:
Panel 4 today.  It's a minor thing, but that angle/pose really points out how Jeph's art style has improved over the years.  I know someone else already mentioned it above, but I wanted to echo that sentiment.

Also, I want to second the motion that yesterday's Claireface was one of the greatest Clairefaces of all time.

Is it cold in here?:

*shudder*, that would be harder to read than the recent Gunnerkrigg Court episodes.

Besides what you pointed out, another reason for hope is something Faye's therapist observed. Faye's got a core of inner strength to draw on. That doesn't fix depression but it does mean the depression has to leach away all of her will power before it can finish its job.

Patternsix:
I totally get what Faye is doing and why.
(yes I know it is a comic still I can't help by sympathize with this characters as if they were real)
(no I don't have many real world friends most of my friends are tethered to me by an invisible thread through the interweb)

For me Drugs (Marijuana) and Alcohol provide a safe place where I like to hide from the world when I get scared at the idea that I'm not the kid I still think I am, but an actual Adult.

The whole Faye story arc is really hitting close to home.

Thankfully I reserve my "Holy $#!+ I'm an Adult" freak-outs to the weekends and never allow it to flow into my professional life.  I don't know what I would do if the two blurred and my hiding place was taken into the workplace.

The last panel about her Dad was what brought an actual tear to my eye as I recalled my own childhood of my own Father and his struggle with Alcohol.  Thankfully he sobered up before he died and I actually saw the man my Mother fell in love with was a kind gentle loving man who I wish I could one day become.

So Damn you Jeph I do love you man but damn you for touching me a little too close to home.

I don't know how some people would feel but maybe offer up some helpful info for anyone who might need help with Drugs or Alcohol .. I don't mean for you to step on a soapbox or anything but seriously man I feel like you are knocking on my window trying to get my attention.
