Which judges do you talk to the most

It kind of changes with time. I feel like I talk with them all pretty much equal, it’s just that sometimes we’ll talk every day, and sometimes we’ll talk once or twice a month (like now, when AP exams, graduations, and getting ready for college is taking over my life).

Apologies for the terrible image quality - I’m lacking scanner access at the minute so I had to take these photos on my phone

I was reading hyperbole and a half’s blog entry explaining their experience of depression and decided to make another sketchy comic based on my experiences with anxiety, which is another mental illness I think people tend to misunderstand quite frequently

Hopefully this will be of use to some people - whether they suffer from anxiety themselves or if they just want to know more about it

This is a very good piece.  It says some important things.

Well…Vertigo by Carmel March is good! And so is The Do-Gooder by star123, Brown Eyes by xoxluurve and Universal Choking Sign by Our Heartfelt Lies (which were all updated today!). Hm, what else? Um, Classics of Love by xoxluurve, On The Hunt by thenifoundfivedollars, The Breakup Plan by thenifoundfivedollars…I think that’s it for now. They’re tons more though, I’m sure, just search for them under the “incomplete” tag on ADoR. :) Have fun reading!
