One of the saddest, heartbreaking and uplifting things I have ever read Allie Brosh

So I have visited this gal's site before, not a lot but there were always some funny things on there.  A lot of her sketches are on Memebase as well, so those of you that enjoy that site will recognize the style.  Apparently she has not updated her site in a while, and here is why.

Her most recent post is all about her monthlong bout of depression.  It is told from a unique perspective and the drawings really make it work and make it very affecting.  I don't want to go into detail her about her story, she does a much better job of it than I ever could.  View her post here .

I was just struck by her honesting about her situation and she really shows that depression doesn't always have a cause or a reason.  If you happen to suffer from depression out there I would definitely check this out.  Last month I talked a little about some of my own struggles with depression in my post about 'Community .'  Trust me, Allie Brosh's post is much more inspired.  Do yourself a favor and go read it.  If you are like me, it might just make your whole day.
