    I miss Allie Brosh. Though she eventually released some books, she was never really comfortable with the fame her blog & cartoons brought her. She suffered with bipolar disorder. She released her angst through distance running. She’s passionate about logic & proper spelling & grammar.

      She suffers from severe depression and ADHD, but I don’t think she has bipolar disorder. Her sister died due to bipolar disorder, which might be what you’re thinking of.

      She is, apparently, still on Reddit occasionally. I saw a post from a few days ago in which someone was saying that she’s working on a new book (no idea if that is true or not).

      I haven’t kept up, is she still around? I think last I heard Allie and her long time partner split.

        Had me curious so I looked it up. Most recent I could find is that she released a book in 2020, and she appears to be semi-active on Instagram, with her most recent post being a few weeks ago, and apparently making an appearance at a premiere for a movie from The Oatmeal as of 5 days ago.
