The Well
Depression is like a well. Some days there is someone at the top, holding the rope so you can climb up. But you never reach the top. You just keep climbing. Other days, you feel like you are pulling on the rope, and it just unravels and falls to the bottom with you. Most days you are just sitting at the bottom of the well, the top is covered, there is no light, you feel nothing. A lot of days, you feel like the well is filling with water, you feel like you are drowning. But the worst days are the days that you feel like dying would be the best thing, because someone would finally notice you...

RE: The Well
Aww how sad and yet beautifully written!
Are you getting any kind of professional help such as therapy and/or medication? I hope so! Don't try to work through this alone!
Keep writing!
