PANEL 3: the left pigeon says "well, you could do yoga or have a smoothie or go for a run or..."
PANEL 4: zoom-in on the sad pigeon. their eyes are red and they think "i know they mean well, but i don't want a solution...i just wanna be sad!!"

perseverance

PANEL 1: a pigeon sits in darkness, exhausted. large text looms over them in a red background, saying "you can't do it. you can't do anything."
PANEL 2: the pigeon starts to get up. a small patch of light glows in the right corner. the pigeon says "yes...i can!"
PANEL 3: the pigeon runs, determined. half the panel is now glowing yellowy white. the negative voice says "no!! give up!! you'll never do it!!!!" but the pigeon replies "i will! i'm gonna!!" 
PANEL 4: the pigeon is wearing a dressing grown and pajama hat, sitting happily by a window eating toast, the sky outside a pleasant blue. they say "i got out of bed!"

small things

PANEL 1: a pigeon holds up a magnifying glass to its eye, question marks around it. the caption says "i try to find something positive in each day."
PANEL 2: the pigeon happily skips along, a rainbow and sparkles in the background. the caption says "sometimes, this is fairly easy..."
PANEL 3: the pigeon sits, despondent, in darkness. the caption says "...other times, it's a challenge." the pigeon wearily says "umm...i...got a cool new backpack."
PANEL 4: the pigeon clutches a backpack that glows slightly. the caption says "these thoughts don't magically fix everything, but i need to keep believing that small things can do good."

death by 1000 tiny tasks

PANEL 1: the caption says "how my to-do list will look". a pigeon holds a piece of paper, giving a thumbs up. the paper says "get ready, make lunch, tidy kitchen, do yoga"
PANEL 2: the caption says "how it'll feel doing it". the pigeon sits, overwhelmed, as a long list of paper surrounds and wraps around them. the background is full of text that breaks down the minutia of each task

problem-solving

PANEL 1: a pigeon looks up, troubled, at a black squiggle. they say "ugh, a negative episode...i gotta think about how to process this"

PANEL 3: the pigeon sits, eyes closed, meditating on a yoga mat
PANEL 4: the pigeon throws a rock at the squiggle, going 'nyeh' and looking pissy

you're not helping

PANEL 1: a pigeon sits, curled up in a blanket, looking a bit sad. to the left, an angel pigeon placates them, saying "it's important to relax when you're down. take your time."
PANEL 2: another angel pigeon appears on the right, saying "no, now is when you need to push yourself! or else you'll get stagnant!"
PANEL 3: a close up of the two angel pigeons arguing - "rest!" "push!" "rest!" "push!"
PANEL 4: the angel pigeons brawl in a cartoonish fight cloud with appendages poking out. the sad pigeon looks deflated

sometimes you just gotta SCREM

PANEL 1: a pigeon stands sweaty and nervous in a crowd of other pigeons, thinking "so many people...so many noises...all at once..."
PANEL 2: the nervous pigeon holds out a pillow and thinks "i need to calm down..."
PANEL 3: the pigeon screams into the pillows. the background pigeons look startled
PANEL 4: the pigeon removes the pillow, looking much chirpier, and thinks "much better." the expressions on the pigeons in the background range from confused, bemused, and not amused
