A letter to my depression.... [share your letter here]

Not so dear Depression,

I don't understand you. You come out of nowhere and you start repeating your thoughts as some kind of a stupid salesman. Why do you do that? We already know life can be hard at times, we don't need you to remind us. And you always talk about yourself! You're always right and we are always wrong. Why do you have to be so full of yourself? Why are you so convinced that you are right?

And you behave horribly. You are an uninvited guest here! I know you are evil but at least you can take your shoes off and mybe stop talking for a while. You always have to talk! Don't you ever get tired? You are depressing everyone when you come in. That's not a way to meet new friends.

So I suggest you make few changes. First, you should change you name. Depression is too depressive. Second, stop convincing everyone that they are tired and that they should not get up from the bed. And finally, don't be so selfcentered, it's really annoying!

Worst Wishes

Everyone

P.S. If this letter made you angry and you want to leave forever I'm sure we will manage to buy you a ticket for some other planet! Don't worry!

Dear Depression,

How come the only thing I can think about is you?

I cant eat, I cant sleep, I cant do anything other than. Obsess. About. You.

Please give me some space, I have problems and responsibilities that are also calling my name. If your voice is too loud I wont be able to finish the semester. I wont be able to pay my rent. If your voice is to loud you might find those ears deaf one day.

Dear Depression, and your good friends Axiety and Post Traumatic Stress; I hear you. I love you. I live with you.

But

please please please

Im begging you

please quiet down, so I can solve some problems, so I can think clearly, so I can stop feeling so useless.

i hear you depression, what you go through is also what I go through. Ive been here with you all along.

Please dont take any more of my energy, of my space, of my reason.

I am doing my best.

Love,

Me

Dear ....

You don't deserve a name I hate you. I wish you'd leave me alone. Everything you touch turns toxic I feel like I'm suffocating in your presence.

I long to be stronger than you, to be better than you. Sometimes you let me win briefly and then come back more cruel than ever. Why do you destroy everything and anything good in my life? You never show your face but your always there lurking in the shadows. Why are you so loud and abusive? Life is hard, sometimes it's down right s**t so why do you need to come in and make it worse?

I'm so very tired, you must be too? Lets be honest no one wins a war. If I die I'm taking you with me, so can we call a truce?

unfortunately yours,

me

Dear Dolores (aka Depression),

Even though you make me hate myself so much that I wish I've never existed, so much that I often think about how I'd be better off dead, I don't hate you (okay, maybe that's a lie. But why must you always give me such a hard time?). I just want to UNDERSTAND you. That is why I gave you name. Why are you here? Why are you affecting me? There has to be a reason. Sometimes I think I'll never understand you. Maybe that's okay. We have a very complex relationship, I know. You're here, and I don't really like to admit it, but you're a part of me. And you may be a part of me, but you are merely one piece out of the eighteen thousand in my puzzle. You do not rule me. You do not control me. You will not control me. You may win the battles, but I will win the war, someway or another.

Sincerely,

Me. The real me, the one who is not under your spell.

I thought you were temporary. Yet you're still here. Following me everywhere I go. I thought I was finally able to shake you off. But I know you're lurking, waiting to come back. I know that we will meet again.

Hi depression,

I think you already have had enough, so please leave me alone or I'll kick your ass out of here.

Cheers.

A lettr to my depression

You have succeeded on taking over my life.

And you have won

My time playing with u is over.

I quit

U wont at making me die

Sincerely: neonCranberry

Dear Depression,

You have made me an unfortunate, sad person. You come and go and target anyone, but I come from a culture that will never understand you and will always blame me. I want to scream, I have tons of insecurities that drive me crazy, I cry more often and people think I'm dramatic. It's not me, it's you. You do this to me, ruin my days and ruin my relationships.

However, you don't own me. You never will. I will be free of you one day and I want to forget about you. Leave me alone as I want to picture my mind as a constant sunny beach and not a gloomy day.

This is my last letter to you.

What exacly do you want from me? Are you here teaching me a lesson? or are you here to make my life hell? I don't know what you want but I guess i'm gonna stick with you until I die maybe you're my friend and I don't understand it yet since you're making me insane and agitated with a state of confusion and iritation everyday... Maybe you're trying to show me something that I didn't seen before... only time will tell

Screw you. Go away.
