And I'm totally here for it! (Anxiety and depression, my companions since childhood. If only my dog friends could live as long as you!) A millennial Londoner, Chuck Mullin explores her seemingly never-ending battle with anxiety and depression with humor, self-awareness, and a shit ton of ice cream. The comics in these here pages tackle a range of mental health issues, from the ups and downs of medication, to self-care, to finding moments of victory wherever you can. Why pigeons? She loves them, even though most people don't. They're an unfairly maligned species, and I am down with embracing that vibe. Pigeons are survivors, yo! The strips are divided into three categories - "Bad Times," "Relationships," and "Positivity" - with a personal essay introducing each. The essays are engaging and relatable AF (as much as I don't want them to be, damn you to hell anxiety!), though I didn't love them so much when they pop out at you from between random comics as well. Like, the artwork pretty much speaks for itself, no additional explanations necessary; and sticking more essays in between the comics really interrupts the flow. But I guess you don't have to read them, or can skip theb and come back later. The pigeons won't judge (unless your name is Sharon). http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-01.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-02.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-03.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-04.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-05.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-07.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-08.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/img/bird-brain-09.jpg http://www.easyvegan.info/2019/12/10/bird-brain-comics-about-mental-health-starr...

"Bird Brain is a collection of brutally honest, brilliantly weird comics exploring what it's like to live with mental illness...using pigeons. When Chuck Mullin began experiencing anxiety and depression as a teenager, she started drawing comics to help her make sense of the rollercoaster. Eventually, she found that pigeons--lovably quirky, yet universally reviled creatures--were the ideal subjects of a comic about mental illness. Organized in three sections--"Bad Times," "Relationships," and "Positivity"--and featuring several short essays about the author's experiences, Bird Brain is a highly relatable, chuckle-inducing, and ultimately uplifting collection of comics for anyone who has struggled to maintain their mental health."--provided by publisher.
