Dear Depression... (add your own)

Hey there lovely humans of the internet! People around this site know me as Eno or NewRomantic677 or Marshmallow but you can call me whatever you want.. Maybe you've seen me around these forums, maybe you haven't. Either way I'm just happy you're here.

When I had depression, I got into the habit of writing letters to it, and it really did help me when I felt like I had to put my feelings out there. Now, this may not be for everyone, but personally i love writing and part of hte reason why i love these forums is because of the way they provide a platform for everyone to speak.

Anyways, the point of this thread is to serve as a way fo you guys to write your unwritten letters to Depression and just pour your hearts out. this is a safe place to do that, and we'll all be here for you ♥ So, I'll start with sharing a few of the things I've written to my Depression.

Dear Depression

Is that you? I'm still trying to figure it out. I've heard a lot about you and if you've decided to be with me for sometime I guess I won't stop it. Depression, I don't feel like i can even talk to my friends anymore, they don't understand me like you do, We may still be new acquaintances but I feel like you already know me inside out.

Dear Depression

all my smiles are starting to feel fake, is that supposed to happen? Is that what you want to do to me? are you the one teaching me how to mask my emotions when I'm around other people. But you become invisible around them, and it makes me uncomfortable in strange way.

Dear Depression

I think it's time for you to go... I'm tired of you following me around everywhere honestly. But if you want to stay, I won't usher you out, I don't want to be an impolite host. Depression, are you the one who's fueling the voice in my head, the one telling me to stay in bed and do nothing? I have duties, Depression. But my marks are slipping depression, and i met your friend Self Harm. did you tell her to meet me? I'm not eating as much as I should, Depression. I'm not happy anymore. Can you please, please, leave? I know it's impolite to ask you but you're making me doubt myself and it's not healthy. Please.

Dear Depression

It's my birth month and now I really think you should leave. I cant eve pick up the phone when you're around, and time waits fr no one. Depression, why are you making me hate my scars? what have I done to you, Depression? I can't even look at my boyfriend of friends in the eyes without lying and faking a laugh or a smile.. Depression, is it you that's making me hate myself? is it you that making me someone else? Please, Depression, we should part ways now. It'd be best for the both of us. I think you should go, I hate to tell you this but i don't want you here anymore. Leave, depression. just go away.

Dear Depression

now that you're gone I'm a lot better. thank you for showing me that the world is so much bigger than you are. It's filled with L♥VE. Now i don't have to fake a single smile or force a single laugh, and I'm so happy now depression. When you're gone, everything is clearer. I'm still scared of you, and on my bad days you come back to me, but you never stay anymore. You're gone for good now.
