Dear Depression;

First, I actually want to thank you. I know that you don't get thanked very often, so I feel that I will show you that caring. Thank you for being mild right now. Thank you for only making me feel sad, and not destroyed. I can handle sad.

However. I really shouldn't be feeling even a little bit sad right now, because I am with friends who I know care about me very much. And I'm in a lovely big city. So why can't I really decide what to do? And why am I so tired? I slept 9 hours last night, and yesterday I had a nap. I did not do much yesterday because I was so tired.

I know that it's just a little sad, but I don't want to even be feeling that right now. I really need this month. You've been around for most of my life, so I know that asking for this one month to myself isn't too much in comparison to the time you spend with me. It really should be a month where I can be without you, alright?

Please take this plea into consideraton!
