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 get stressed out by the fact that missing one seasonal item in the community center means you have to repeat an entire year again just to complete it and move on to new content. I’ve still never managed to get to any of the content on Ginger Island because of that.

I’m assuming it’s because they have trouble holding a blow dryer.
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

You need to stop what you’re doing and play Prey right now.
AAAA games are so last year. It’s all about the AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA games now.
Oh, you better believe I’m disturbing that. There is no way I’m not petting that pile of floppy cuteness.
This called parthenogenesis, and is a main plot line in the book Seveneves…
I don’t want a normal relationship with my Trump loving neighbor. He and his racist wife can go fuck themselves. Their signs and banners told me who they are. I’m choosing to listen
She sounds awesome. Do you know if she’s seeing anyone, in like a serious way?
