In the Dark

People always say, 'There's no reason to be depressed.' or 'what do you
have to be depressed about.'A lot of the time it's, 'you seem fine to
me.' Yes, I do seem fine, but I'm breaking underneath the surface.They
don't see behind the mask we all hold up. 'Everyone gets these
feelings.' yes they do, but some are worse than others, yet its pain
nonetheless. They don't understand what goes through our minds when we
do things they think are crazy, like cutting. They don't understand that
when we look in a mirror, we hate what we see. Or when you cry yourself
to sleep at night for reasons that are still unknown to you. Those
feelings of sadness, loneliness, desperation, anxiety. Those fears of
being abandoned by the ones you love the most, or being a burden because
you're sharing your feelings. They don't understand.....But I do. This
book is for all those people that feel even one of these. You are not
alone
