Haimiya-senpai wa Kowakute Kawaii - Ch. 47

Haimiya crying because she has supportive friends that is there for her is heartwarming.

Even Aya-chan's support and the video MC sent haven't helped Haimiya in the slightest. It looks like in the next few chapters, there will be an arc where MC visits her house. I'm really curious about her family situation, because from the looks of it, she lives alone.

thank you for translation

In all seriousness, dont stop taking medication you were prescribed just because you start feeling better. Speak to your doctor or GP first.

I am honestly impressed a japanese author is actually giving clinical depression an actual serious depiction.

I’m glad she’s ok man had me worried even though this just manga.

Especially with antidepressants, they tend to numb you so when you start feeling better it's more noticeable, you reduce the medication to feel more again, forgetting that it also causes you to feel the bad stuff more again. It's incredibly common for people to think it's no big deal until the negative emotions start to overwhelm them again, undoing a lot of their good progress.

I wouldn't say it hasn't helped in the slightest, the fact she's able to shed tears at all is actually a good thing. We'll see next chapter how she chooses to handle this.

Way too early to make a judgement on this scene.

I can't tell if we're depicting depression or severe anxiety

 

[AzarickBlaze]

It appears Haimiya lives alone, considering the fridge is basically empty and her parents didn’t even show up in her contact infos. No wonder she’s so close to the nurse and why she needs her friends more than ever.

Discontinue the lithium

 

[skymadrid]

This is one of the few times i hate how realistic the manga is...

Unless it's painkillers (And only painkillers, not those that are also anti-inflammatory). Stop taking painkillers as soon as you can.

It is very common to have both unfortunately. Severe anxiety can make irrational fears and thoughts run through your head late at night, which causes terrible insomnia. Lack of sleep affects your mental health which makes the depression worse. I dealt with it for on and off for about 2 years, but it's been manageable now with therapy.

This hurts to read. Why can't my scarily cute gyaru be happy?

It's not the same thing, but this was my grandfather's biggest problem. He was on meds for heart issues/blood pressure/etc and he would take the pills, then measure his blood pressure, see that it was fine, and start cutting his pills in half or stop taking them because "I'm fine and don't need them anymore." Then he'd start feeling awful and go to the doctor and the doctor would chew him out for not taking his pills properly and get him back on them the right way again.

Then the cycle would repeat. Over and over again.

And then, unsurprisingly he died of a heart attack and we found his medication and found the pills cut in half again.

(and just to be clear, this is not a sympathy-fishing post. This was 20 years ago and I'm well past it now. it's just the reminder I always have that medications should only be adjusted or stopped in consultation with a pharmacist or doctor.)

Yeah, it's a common mistake at first to cut off, you think you are good and then you feel it's over again. It's a matter of gradually reducing the intake over months. Having a diary on how you feel can help to get a better perspective. And sometimes you have to accept you might be need to keep taking them and it's a matter of finding the minimum dose needed.

I was a bit afraid about how her issue would have been managed but I honestly liked the way this chapter went out.
The illness is depicted quite realistic and delivering.
Sure it's really strange that a adolescent suffering from that kind of illness is apparently left living alone without anyone checking on her, leaving someone suffering from mental illness the freedom of skipping on his meds is bound to bring to a disaster. Sensei surely is doing good supporting her but she surely knows about her family circumstances and should take over in some way with the family or even with social services since we are talking about a minor.
The video message from friends is very good, not showing worrying or doomed faces but cheerful and supportive words.
I hope the next chapters will maintain this level, I was afraid of all this drama arc but this one raised my hopes up.

P.S.
Just seeing this should be enough to cure all Haimiya issues

Had a pysch professor that talked about the most dangerous time for someone suffering from depression was when the meds or therapy started working - making them feel better, more in control of their life. Many would stop/reduce their meds/therapy (the idea that they didn't need it anymore) and spiral back and some would now feel confident enough to attempt taking their life.
