    Nah, I imagine they’re talking about a situation where you’ve been put under but you’re still conscious and can’t move. No local anaesthesia. You’re being cut open and you can feel every bit of it. Not like a dentist’s visit.



  • These kinds of things are not cut and dry, and shrinks are honestly still trying to figure out better ways to cope with grief all the time. Some folks choose to start a new relationship to get over a breakup, others like to just get all the emotion out in one go. It sounds like you’re dealing with invasive thoughts, and I’ve always found keeping myself occupied with things helps me tune them out.

    You want to keep your mind off it. It’s an emotional wound, and the more you pick at it the more it’ll linger. You can come back to this when it hurts less and the situation is more distant, but focusing on yourself for now can do great things.

    Exercise, Friends, Comfort. All these help you stay feeling human, and you should make sure to have these three things squared away, since they can help steady you.

    Hobbies are great for occupying yourself. You focus on the project and try to just think through it. It doesn’t have to be anything crazy either. 100% a game, make a goal out of folding a certain amount of origami crafts, make a scrap book, learn a language, doodle, etc - it doesn’t really matter what it is so long as you have something to occupy you for a longer length of time.

    Changes in setting can be good, too - but the right kind of routine can also help. It really depends on your preference.

    And go easy on yourself. You’ll still have episodes for some time, and that’s OK.





  • Your original comment reads

    DEAR LORD PEOPLE, SOMETIMES THERE IS NOT A DEEPER MESSAGE AND IT’S JUST A DUMB JOKE!

    It’s pretty blankly a thought terminating cliché without your later clarification, same as the noteable “The curtains were fucking blue” meme. Even with your clarification, you are now bringing up yet another one of the comics to try and show there is no deeper substance to find from these comics, which I disagree.

    With most of these comics, the author does enjoy using absurd humor. But they do still have some grounding in real things. The first example you give is poking fun at taking the saying ‘you can do anything you set your mind to’ and the second is a joke about dual-businesses, with the premise being, generically, a business with one service that’s normal and another service that’s something almost no one is going to request.

    There’s still some interesting things within that you can get from looking closer at them, even when they’re absurd by nature. Again, let people have their hobbies. Don’t try to make people feel like fools for picking silly comics apart.
