Hello Depression I Wish I Could Let You Go

by SeaOfTheIceWitch   May 9, 2018


I feel like my depression is about everything people are definantly involved in it and I feel that is has consumed all parts of my life and sometimes I'am and sometimes I'am not doing fine. My depression has really changed who I'am inside but it has a upside to it too and I'am a better person for it. My depression started when I was only 12 years old and during my teen years I went crazy and tried to kill myself many many times and I usually ended up just cutting myself with knifes and crying all the time. I feel it in my core even today I know that my depression is a abusing boyfriend who I can never get rid of and will always be a part of my like my shadow. I have a love and hate relationship with my severe depression and now that my father is stuck on a wheelchair with Parkinson's disease my depression has decided to step back into the picture.

    A brave write indeed, Mona. I hope this in somewhat was a bit of a release. I'm in recovery from self-harm and I deal with depression too. It's so hard to describe how depression can just hit you and shock your whole sense of being. How it seems to be an illusion that it could ever leave permanently. I agree too that it changes a person. That really resonated with me. I do wish we could let it go, or demand that it stop attaching itself and following our every move.

    Sending you support and strength. Always here if you need to talk. Keep penning your emotions, no matter how dark.

    A brave write. Depression is like a shadow; sometimes feint, sometimes so dense it smothers out all light.
