My Love Letter
Yui MHCP001
Dear Depression,
You have to admit, we’ve spent a lot of time together over the past two years. Perhaps… too much time, time that would’ve been better spent elsewhere, on being happy. But I can’t seem to help myself. Whenever you’re around, you get all my attention. I dive into you, like you’re a deep lake whose bottom I can’t help but to reach for. You’re cold. Suffocating, at times. I’ve gotten used to your pressure since it’s been there for a long time, and you definitely don’t treat me as bad as you do some others, so I guess I could say I’m lucky. But it just feels like...it feels like Stockholm Syndrome, my arms open for your deathly embrace.
But you’re not all bad, I suppose. You have your redeeming qualities. You showed me my resilience everytime you tried to bring me down. You showed me my strength when I picked up cigarettes again because of you, but stopped after 4. You showed me my intelligence when I told my parents about you the day I was set to commit suicide. You showed me my ambition when you helped me realize I wasn’t going to be happy with my major and where I lived. You showed my healthy vulnerability when I told my friends what you were putting me through.
Everytime you beat me down, I came out of it stronger. You are something I have accepted that I need from time to time.
That being said, we can’t be together forever. I hope for a day we can happily be apart, where I don’t need you to become a stronger person.
And I think that day is drawing near.
That’s why I decided to write this to you. If I didn’t do it now, I would never be able to do it.
I love you, Depression.
I can’t wait until you’re gone forever.

Sounds too deep to be posted here.
it needed to go somewhere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Im hardly surprised on the positive feedback from the community.
In eSpain you'd have been trolled.
❤️
Good luck training the black dog to behave...
You are not alone ❤ ❤ ❤

thanks for posting
That's why try to check the 'media' regularly.
Amongst the trolls and the nonsense talks, sometimes I get slapped on the face with something as brilliant as this one.
Thank you for publishing it. o/
Great insights! Thanks for sharing this.
Poignant, honest, real. While I've never considered suicide I have been in some very dark places, and come out the better for it. I have two nasty relationships with depression, one worst than the other. Not sure we'll never have another go, but hope we don't. You are indeed not alone.
P.S. Hugs - because man hugs are a good thing.
Ah, the old and loyal black dog... I like how you see it and treat it.
With no intention of spoiling the good momentum, just a friendly heads-up: the black dog evolves as one evolves from it, don let it catch you off guard with your own new strengths.

For the day after V day

I literally thought you were talking about eRepublik until I got to the end.
Nice piece.
Go eat some rice. It'll make you feel better.
I've heard he has pounds of it from a mysterious and generous benefactor.
I love the tank kv-1c. I can imagine how some of my classmates die under his wheels...

Took me two years, maybe even a bit more. It's been a long time ago already for me, but I appreciate how it shaped me as a person.
It is possible. It goes slowly, and you'll only see your progress when it's long been done.
15 days and still in top 5, gratz!
