Maybe the real lesson is that a mangled hand actively gushing blood isn’t really a great analogy for depression.

If the comic suggested that he sought help in the past and it wasn’t working, it would be a much better analogy. Unfortunately, we only know what’s actually shown.
The victim isn’t at fault for being depressed, or having a mangled hand, or whatever analogy we want to use. However, if they go out with friends and expect them to take the problem more seriously than they, themselves, are taking it, then they have some measure of fault for imposing their problem on the friend. If they are seeking treatment that just isn’t working, or they are unable to get proper treatment for other reasons, that’s a different story and I’ll have a lot more sympathy.
It all boils down to not expecting someone to take your problem seriously for long if you are not taking it seriously yourself.
The others would probably take his problem a lot more seriously if he had at least tried to get it fixed. If you are going to walk around with a mangled blood gushing hand for a prolonged period of time, without seeking help, then you should probably stop whining about it, because I can’t do anything for you. I can’t force you to go to a doctor.
The metaphor would work a lot better if one of the people he’s talking to was a doctor that ignored the problem with his hand.
Dude should maybe consider seeing a doctor about his “hand”.
I can’t really see 2 egos of that size coexisting. I’m terrified of being wrong about that in this case though
Hah, I didn’t even notice all the cars at first. I thought they were referring to the shitty gravel driveway.

Next time put it in top of the can.
None of those protections give me much faith, since they ultimately rely on courts, which are continuing to give conservatives more and more power to “do whatever they want”.
I like it, but not enough stuff uses it yet to be a true game changer. I still have to keep multiples of different types of cables to charge everything.
Rich old white dudes are going to be ok.
Wait, there was nothing progressive about this campaign except for paying a little lip service to legalizing weed.
Blaming them does nothing to help us.
You’re thinking of Google, not Microsoft.
About 15 minutes, this morning in Wilmington, NC. In previous elections here, I’ve walked in and voted immediately, with no line
She sounds awesome. Do you know if she’s seeing anyone, in like a serious way?
