I’m also thinking of the time she lied to Ruth about quitting drinking. She didn’t lie this time, but I’m worried about her again just like I was then.
I’m really glad that while Billie isn’t exactly being forthcoming or even completely honest here, she’s at least giving Ruth enough that she can tell that something is up
I want Billie to go to therapy, but also, boy, can therapy at college counseling centers suck. Not always! I’m just glad I’m past that point of things, as far as therapy goes.
It’s a gamble. In my experience, it can also be hard to switch who you’re seeing. “Oh, you don’t want to talk to this guy who asked if you were ‘over’ being sexually assaulted? Then you must not really need help!”
Of course, she hasn’t even gone yet, so the particular person isn’t the issue for her.
When I first went, the woman who interviewed me asked if I had a preference for a male or female therapist.
No, I said, but there was one person there I knew personally, so of course I didn’t want him to be assigned to me.
…
I had a disappointing experience when I went to mine. I loved my college, too, and I expected better. I went in to talk about my eating disorder that I’d hidden from everyone for about 10 years, so obviously revealing that to a real person was a huge step for me. The therapist was just like “ok” and had me do a breathing exercise. I’m not really sure if she didn’t believe me, or didn’t know what to do about it, or didn’t understand how deeply it affected me. And I appreciate a good breathing exercise, but she didn’t address the HUGE MAJOR SERIOUS issue I came in about. When I re-prompted, she told me to come back another time. I left more upset and confused than when I went in.
Billie’s got a habit of not wanting to sleep alone when she’s upset.
and I mean, in general, but I mean non-sexually (probably??) since she climbed into Walky’s bed, too, when she was upset enough. kept her pants on, though, I think.
But I failed to include reference to a song where the official video features a trio of serpent players, for which failure I can only hang my head in shame.
That girl needs therapy, psychosomatic,
That girl needs therapy, purely psychosomatic
That girl needs therapy
Lie down on the couch! What does that mean?
You’re a nut! You’re crazy in the coconut!
What does that mean? That girl needs therapy
I’m gonna thrill you, that girl needs therapy
Play the kazoo, let’s have it tune
On the count of three
That, that, that, that, that girl.. girl needs therapy
She was white as a sheet
And she also made false teeth
Am…I the only 1 thinking Billie is still ass up, rump pointing at the roof? She doesn’t seem to have moved at all, other than her head. I’m thinking she’s going to be a bit stiff. Maybe THAT’S why she hasn’t moved…
They aren’t sunny, they are just normal people not infected by the hatred of society… until some asshole does thinking they are doing them a “favor” (thanks fricking Rick Sanchez). Ruth and Billie both suffer the same problem, and they have to acknowledge that being codependent is going to hurt them more than stepping on a Lego brick. Depression isn’t some glorified magical feeling like Lars Von Trier (I hate him) wants to show off, it is a disease that spreads and hurts everyone around. Also, by sunny people do Billie refer to the students in the building, or the therapists?
You don’t have to be a cynic or a bitter pill to think they’re pretty sunny. It’s not a bad thing, they’re just very very cheerful and friendly (and sometimes struggle with boundaries). I’d say both Joyce and Becky are sunny too, but I wouldn’t say it about, for example, Dorothy or Danny or Ethan.
I feel like despite having more serious issues, Ruth is dealing with things in a healthier way than Billie, who feels she hasn’t reached low enough to accept help.
Exactly. Ruth saw herself as completely worthless dead weight the world would be better off without.
Billie still sees herself as a temporarily embarrassed cheerleader. Fawning from her new group of hangers-on in Forest Quad has treated the symptoms (just look at her reaction to Joyce’s visit), but she still has plenty of real problems to sort out.
Billie hasn’t accepted she has a problem yet. She’s acknowledged it occasionally when she’s in a low mood, but she’s not quite accepted the gravity of it.
Billie probably doesn’t realise it at this point but she’s fantastically lucky to have a girlfriend who’s so dedicated to her health and healing. The fact that this is a reversal of roles on how things were originally is ironic but not really unprecedented in a lot of ways.
Maybe it’s just me, but it feels like there’s a strip missing or something – Ruth is suddenly talking about being invited to something, even though the discussion so far has been about waking up in other people’s bed. It seems a bit of a non-sequitur.
Based on what Billie said in the previous strip, Ruth correctly deduced that Billie’s been slipping back into her old cheerleader mold, going to parties and whatnot. That’s why she said she’d be fine with being invited. I wonder if Ruth is secretly upset that Billie DIDN’T invite her; as a fellow introvert, I know that Ruth’s response would likely be “HELL NO. But you go and have fun.” We still appreciate being asked, even if our answer is always “no”. XD
Yes exactly. I think Ruth would just like the reminder that Billie thought of her before doing stuff without her instead of just doing stuff without her.
As an introvert: yes. And for people with depression or anxiety, they want to keep being asked so that they remember that one day, they’ll be well enough to say yes.
Ruth knew the truth as soon as she woke up staring at Billie’s rear end.
Billie can fib all she wants, but those hips don’t lie.
We need a like button and this is why.
Was that rhyme accidental, or on the sly?
Don’t know, butt it was so beautiful I might cry…
How long will this thread get by?
i always knew, she wasn’t into guys
Without your femurs, there’s not much left of your thighs.
I just really hope that the end of this thread isn’t nigh
We can keep it going, we just need to try.
This thread is so amazing, I think I might cry
We need a downvote button and this is why
This kind of repetition just should not fly
You are all hilarious, I might die.
Hi.
These lines are so funny, I laugh and then happily sigh…
The Ruth and Billie relationship, oh my oh my…
Their current curcumstances make me just want to sigh
O god the humor… Are you all high?
you would not believe your eyes
If ten thousand fireflies…
Who added the s? Come on guys.
This thread is so cute, I can’t take it. Bye.
Big mood
I sense an emotional conversation is nigh
Oh, Billie. Not again.
Again? Shiyet, this is ALL Billie’s done.
I’m also thinking of the time she lied to Ruth about quitting drinking. She didn’t lie this time, but I’m worried about her again just like I was then.
The only reason she didn’t lie is because Ruth preempted it.
Yes, this is also true, but it’s also not the reason I’m worried.
The tagline of this whole comic should be “No, I don’t need professional help”
Tried to make me to therapy, I said no, no no…
https://youtu.be/KUmZp8pR1uc
Wait, that didn’t go so well for her, did it? Am I sensing….similarities…?
She hasn’t gone, but has she come?
has she left?
Of course it was silly that Billie thought she could fool Ruth by propping up a mop with a picture of her face on it during group therapy.
That mop had a breakthrough and cried about its mother for 20 minutes.
aaand right in the feels.
billie. ;-;
billie
please
;-;
I’m really glad that while Billie isn’t exactly being forthcoming or even completely honest here, she’s at least giving Ruth enough that she can tell that something is up
eeeeeeeh.
I want Billie to go to therapy, but also, boy, can therapy at college counseling centers suck. Not always! I’m just glad I’m past that point of things, as far as therapy goes.
If her’s is anything like Ruth’s (not a guarantee) they might be decent.
It’s a gamble. In my experience, it can also be hard to switch who you’re seeing. “Oh, you don’t want to talk to this guy who asked if you were ‘over’ being sexually assaulted? Then you must not really need help!”

Billie also goes to therapy? Must have forgotten that.
Well, as we see here, Billie doesn’t actually GO to therapy, but she is supposed to:
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/04-it-all-returns/stock/
Right, right. She never went, like Ruth said.
There’s a ‘Goofus and Gallant’ cartoon parody in this, somewhere!
When she and Ruth went to the hospital, Billie was ordered to come in for therapy
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/comic/book-6/04-it-all-returns/stock/
Gotcha, thanks.
Damn it Billie, go to therapy already!
Am…I the only 1 thinking Billie is still ass up, rump pointing at the roof? She doesn’t seem to have moved at all, other than her head. I’m thinking she’s going to be a bit stiff. Maybe THAT’S why she hasn’t moved…
“…you know.”
“yeah, I know.”
It’s like a less betrayal-filled “You taste like alcohol.”
They aren’t sunny, they are just normal people not infected by the hatred of society… until some asshole does thinking they are doing them a “favor” (thanks fricking Rick Sanchez). Ruth and Billie both suffer the same problem, and they have to acknowledge that being codependent is going to hurt them more than stepping on a Lego brick. Depression isn’t some glorified magical feeling like Lars Von Trier (I hate him) wants to show off, it is a disease that spreads and hurts everyone around. Also, by sunny people do Billie refer to the students in the building, or the therapists?
Yes.[/Kosh]
Marry me.
You don’t have to be a cynic or a bitter pill to think they’re pretty sunny. It’s not a bad thing, they’re just very very cheerful and friendly (and sometimes struggle with boundaries). I’d say both Joyce and Becky are sunny too, but I wouldn’t say it about, for example, Dorothy or Danny or Ethan.
Good grief, these two are perfect for each other, and yet they also both deserve way better than each other.
I feel like despite having more serious issues, Ruth is dealing with things in a healthier way than Billie, who feels she hasn’t reached low enough to accept help.
I agree that this is it exactly. Ruth hit rock bottom, Billie hasn’t.
Exactly. Ruth saw herself as completely worthless dead weight the world would be better off without.
Billie still sees herself as a temporarily embarrassed cheerleader. Fawning from her new group of hangers-on in Forest Quad has treated the symptoms (just look at her reaction to Joyce’s visit), but she still has plenty of real problems to sort out.
Maybe. She’s definitely using the Forest Quad group to prop herself up, but she’s been down at the “I’m poison. I ruin everything I touch” level.
But yeah, Ruth has a better handle on the whole thing. Billie, for example, has never even tried to stop drinking as far as I can tell.
Agreed. Somewhere I’d forgot that Billie had been signed to do this, and now it’s troubling she hasn’t.
(And that’s not just because Spousal Ms ValdVin is an LCSW.)
Did I enter my email address wrong? Where’d my custom grav go to?
Billie hasn’t accepted she has a problem yet. She’s acknowledged it occasionally when she’s in a low mood, but she’s not quite accepted the gravity of it.
therapy is hard to start when nobody is forcing you to……
And yet, when you’re being forced it’s often far less effective.
Billie probably doesn’t realise it at this point but she’s fantastically lucky to have a girlfriend who’s so dedicated to her health and healing. The fact that this is a reversal of roles on how things were originally is ironic but not really unprecedented in a lot of ways.
I LOVE YOU TERRIBLE FUCKING GAYS.
Man, I just wish it was easier for you two. And most gays.
(and me, sometimes. This gay, also as well, also)

Yes exactly. I think Ruth would just like the reminder that Billie thought of her before doing stuff without her instead of just doing stuff without her.
Ah, alright, that makes sense. I guess I just didn’t make that mental leap
I just thought she meant being invited to Billie’s dorm occasionally.
As an introvert: yes. And for people with depression or anxiety, they want to keep being asked so that they remember that one day, they’ll be well enough to say yes.
Billie, you better woman up and be good to your girlfriend. And also go to your therapy sessions, which is good for you and her.
It has been 2 comics and she has not been angry. What kind of drugs do they even have her on???
Butterscotch pudding. It’s that good.
Saw this coming. Dangit, Billie. -_-
;_;
that concept of ‘ getting ready’ to deal with therapy is important y’all
oh jeez sunny is my name guys
