Le tour du monde de Marina et Julien Welcoming Olim PORK MAGAZINE The DIY Couturier • 21 Tips to Keep Your Shit Together When You're Depressed. A while ago, I penned a fairly angry response to something circulating on the internet – the 21 Habits of Happy People.

So, this Cult of Happy article just set me off. It’s bad enough without people ramming Happy Tips at you through facebook. A friend of mine suggested that I write something from my point of view because, surprisingly, I manage to give an outwards impression of having my shit together. So, here it is. My 21 Tips on Keeping Your Shit Together During Depression 1) Know that you’re not alone. 2) Understand that the Happy People are usually acting out of some genuine (albeit misguided) concern for you, that it’s coming from a good place, even if the advice feels like you’re being blamed for your disease. 3) Enlist the help of a professional. 4) Understand that antidepressants will only do so much.

J’ai découvert Pork en tombant sur le Tumblr de Sean en 2011. En 1979, La Souris Déglinguée déclarait dans Week-end Sauvage : « On n’est surtout pas des dangers pour la société ! Sean aujourd'hui, avec son fils. VICE: Salut Sean. Sean Aäberg : Ça fait deux ans maintenant. OK, tout le monde devrait faire ça. Je crois que j’ai toujours dessiné. Tu lisais des magazines à cet âge ? Au départ, non. Oui. Ah, ah.
