I'm Scared
Dear Mom, I guess first I should say I love you. Although this letter doesn't have a happy ending, I will always love you. My problems begin and end with you, yet I will always love you.

Depression hits different these days. I used to not clean my room and not leave for months on end. Now, it is more robotic. I didn't wash my hair for almost 2 weeks, but I showered every day. I don't eat, but I have been drinking water and protein shakes. I still do the things that make me feel good, I just do them a little more sad.

The Last Hug
I can see the tears that are trying to hide behind alcohol, poisoned by anger. I’m not blind to see the rage, the humiliation, or what you may fear. Your world is a mess, like a brain put in a blender and told to be “Okay.” How does one function when your nervous system is in overload and everything is misfiring. Like a bullet meant to hit the target but is now stray.

The Writer's Mind
"For me, writing is such an escape, and I felt very lucky to have this to run away to." – Rachel Joyce Sometimes I wonder, is it only when a person has mental difficulties that they have the talent to write. Most famous authors suffered from mental illnesses and many of them ended their lives because of it. Sylvia Plath was trying to use writing to overcome her struggles but ended up gassing herself in her kitchen. Virginia Woolf has to be institutionalized because of the loss and the abuse she went through. Hemingway who loved boxing, hunting, and sailing, shot himself in the mouth, making his fans wonder if the image he was drawing of himself was just a mask for all his insecurities.

* I would like to start with a trigger warning for mentions of suicidal ideation. Please proceed with care.* It is the end of my second semester of graduate school. I am 25, and I have never ideated suicide for as many days in a row as I have this year. I’ve never come close to an actual attempt, but I have thought about it many, many times. I found myself standing in the shower at my parent’s house, lost in thought, and I realized I was thinking about how if I wanted to kill myself with a kitchen knife, I should sterilize it first in case I failed so I wouldn’t get a raging salmonella infection. Or something. I don’t know. Was I subconsciously coming up with more steps to make the whole idea less appealing to myself? Does the idea of boiling a knife or taking the extra sixty seconds to get the bottle of isopropyl alcohol from the medicine cabinet matter enough to dissuade those deep recesses of my brain? That alone has made me doubt the validity of my own depression. Surely, if I can be that easily swayed to not do it, I must not really be that distressed. But what mentally healthy person finds themselves consistently thinking about taking their own life? About what would be the easiest way, and if there was such a thing as being able to buy a genuine cyanide pill on the internet?

I've been feeling exhausted, not tired, not sleepy, but a better descriptor would be that I feel absolutely, utterly, entirely; drained. I feel like a dead battery, but unlike a dead battery I'm forced to keep a source of energy pouring through each and every cell in my body.
Depression
Should I even bother writing any of this down? I feel like it will just be discovered, read, and then used against me. These would be my feelings, my thoughts, and my emotions. These are not to be read then used against me yet somehow I feel they will be. Nothing feels safe anymore or should I say private.
