Twilight Sparkle may be a brilliant scientist, a flawless engineer, and a wielder of otherworldly magic—but she's not infallible. Sometimes, she isn't okay. Pinkie knows this.
Warning for slight mentions of self-harm/suicide

Everyday life of Pinkie Pie. Victory makes her happy. And tazer knuckles. ^v^
Sometimes the best message is just being there. Pinkie gets that. This was a bittersweet bit of love.
I absolutely loved this. I'm so happy there's a Suicide tag for me to watch now. I just want to know how others deal with this all the time
Pinkie's solutions felt a lot like the stuff in the Calm Harm app. So you did a very good job with your solutions.
Thank you so much for writing this story.
Lovely story. It is interesting reading about how a character copes with something so crippling that it makes me never want to leave my room again.
Wow, surprisingly lighthearted and fluffy, without diminishing the serious nature of the story. Well done, I enjoyed it very much.
It was a real delight to read a heartfelt story like this and see more stories from you! You're an excellent writer!

I’m so glad you liked it!

Thank you!
(You do not kno da wae)

My qween, let me show you da wae.
And you're welcome!
Two bits are missing from chapter name.
8671076
Huh. You mean the binary code?
8671076
Wait, I see it. Thanks!
This seems to be a new craz among the fandom. Pinkie being some kind of expert in this kind of thing. Granted, it's usually a reader-insert story.
So bonus for not doing that.
Mm, enjoyed reading (and re-reading) this. Always nice when depression and suicide is approached with respect and restraint, unlike the usual furor that many writers would portray it as. Think what made me really like it was Pinkie Pie (again) and her approach to tackle her friend's situation. Have some little things bothering me, but that's just a matter of personal preference in the end.
Thanks a lot for writing this!
8671183
Huh, I actually hadn’t noticed that
What does the binary in the chapter name translate to?
8671359
We Are Okay :3
Yeah.
Just . . . yeah.
8672188
Good yeah? Or bad yeah?
8671415
Thank you. However, you almost confused me there for a minute. I looked up a binary-to-English converter, and the ":3" did not appear. Imagine my surprise when I figured out that the two "extra" bytes actually encoded spaces!
8672190
Stunned and amazed yeah. In particular I was struck by your mention of Twilight’s difficulty breathing, which is a detail I don’t see documented often, and one I know all too well.
The only item I might mention is a single paragraph that I think—but am not certain—should be present tense rather than past. (Overall you do a fantastic job with that, and I’m pretty picky about the technical aspects of writing.)
8672199
Oh, good :D
And dang, you’re right! Let me fix that, thanks!
I wish I had a Pinkie in my life.
8672226
Don’t we all?
Art source?
This was good.
8672304
I don’t have one, I just found it on google images. I believe if you click on the cover art, it will link you to the source.
8672404
Thank you
I took a quick look over the story before starting and it looked like this is a collection of short moments in her life and maybe a lot of timeskips?
I just get the feeling this isn't exactly what I expected, but I really want to read it, I will only know for sure how it'S going to be when I can finally start tomorrow.
8673478
It's kinda like that, but not quite. There is a constant timeline
8673376
Thanks for the reply! I'll try and see if I can find a source.
Your stories make me feel warm inside.
8674151
Oh. That’s good :D
I kind of expected to see how bad she feels and Pinkie slowly helping her. Not saying that Pinkie needs to stop being funny, but I think I was looking for her getting sad seeing her friend hurt.
aaahhhh that is one of the moments, I like how nice it feels when you read about them comforting their friends and stuff like that, without any magically solution. I mean I had one story where Vinal was one step before killing herself, but without much effort Fluttershy was like an instat solution without even needing to figure out her friends problem or something.
There where one or two more parts with something like that and then it continued kind of regular for me but of course that'S more because it already ended.
Well yes I would kind of like a sequel I guess it that is still possible, maybe you would need to take the part away that looked like Twilight was completely healed already for that.
Really well done. I loved it!
... so that's what emotions feel like. This is rather well written.
8674606
It wasn’t to show that Twilight was completely healed. For me, that was just a moment where Twilight felt safe in Pinkie’s arms. She still has a long way to go. Depression doesn’t just disappear. That’s why I added that last paragraph. She’s still struggling. But she’s using her methods and trying to get better
8674867
I know that but something like this doesn'T stop some authors to make it look like it did.
Well it was a nice story and I had found my special moment.
I really enjoyed this. It's... haunting, might be the word, but it's a good read, and I think can help teach empathy for people running through the same sort of struggle.
I especially liked the (Very subtle) implication that Twi has self-harm scars already on her wrists. It's a small detail, but one that really helps to emphasize just how bad of a place Twilight is in.
If I may... I was actually really relieved that this didn't turn into a romance. Most of the fic was very emotionally intimate, and half my brain was going "Just kiss already!!!" the entire time--but I feel like doing so would have ultimately cheapened the message.
Very well done. And thank you for writing it.
(Funny... it's Pinkie that I usually think of as being the emotionally unstable one. I guess it just goes to show you...)
8675102
Yeah, it may seem a bit ‘romantic’ at first. But really I was just aiming for a really close friendship ^^ I’m glad you liked it!
Pinkie, of all ponies or people, is going to know what this anxiety or depression or whatever Twilight's struggling with is like. Beautifully done!
A glorious composition of a topic few cover with any semblance of reality.
This struck close enough to home that I could only applaud your skills as an author.
Thanks for the touching read.
8675554
You’re very welcome
A fine tale of sad horsewomen and the bonds between them.
Binary ASCII Code?? What's it mean??? I can recognize it, but I can't really translate.

The chapter title? It's just We Are Okay.
For some reason in this story, there is always this atmosphere of dread or fear in some areas. I find it disturbing with the majority of the story filled with fun and cute topics like your trying to cover up something that will come back to bite you someday. Really well written and overall great story.
