Depression/ anxiety one shots

Let me help (depression)

"My stupid phone is ringing again". I said out loud to myself and threw my phone out of my reach.

It was either my boss again , one of my friends, or my boyfriend . One of the three had been calling me multiple times a day for the past three days but I hadn't answered. I just wanted to lay in my bed all day and be left alone . I'll probably lose my job if I keep it up , but I don't even care at this point . I decided to go back to sleep , hoping with every ounce of energy left inside my body , that my phone would stop ringing . I drifted off into sleep , and I woke up 4 hours later to see the time was 6:30. I'd only been up to use the bathroom during the past three days so when I heard a knock on my door , I really didn't feel like getting it . I decided to ignore whoever was knocking and then I heard the lock click open. I go to hide under my covers when I hear him call out to me .

" Isa!" my boyfriend Camden called .

I ignored him and he walked into my room lifting the covers from over my face . I rolled away from him and he rolled me back .

" What's going on babe?" He asked . " Everyone is worried about you."

" I'm fine . Just taking a few days off ." I said trying to be convincing.

" Can you sit up and talk to me baby?" He asked.

I nodded , and he pulled me up slowly into a sitting position. He propped up the pillows behind my back so I was more comfortable.

" So , um, I just haven't been feeling very well . I sorta went off my meds again . I just don't like being dependent on them . It sucks ." I said beginning to cry .

" Baby I know it's hard and you don't want to take them but you have to my love . They make you feel better right ?" He asked . "Also when was the last time you did anything to take care of yourself?"

" Yeah they do help , and if you mean what you think I mean, I last showered 4 days ago , ate 3 days ago , brushed my teeth 3 days ago and I haven't brushed my hair in a week." I said looking down ashamed.

He noticed I felt embarrassed and tilted my head back up and said , " Love that's not anything to be embarrassed about , I don't judge you , not one bit . I'm going help you feel a little bit better and take care of you today sweetie, is that okay ?" He asked kindly.

I nodded and he took the rest of the comforter off me . He took my hand and pulled me out of bed slowly.

" Let's get you into a shower , okay sweetheart." He said and led me into the bathroom.

He helped me undress and took off his shirt and jeans , leaving just his boxers on . He helped me into the shower and stood behind me washing shampoo into my hair. It felt really good when he was massaging it into my scalp and for a moment I felt okay . He finished washing me and then wrapped me tight into a clean bath towel he took out of the laundry room. He got me clean clothes and helped me into them and then I sat down in my desk chair while he stripped the sheets from my bed .

" You don't have to do all of that babe." I said quietly.

" No love , I do . I'm going to help you when you can't help yourself. That's what boyfriends do love ." He said and kissed me while walking by me with the pile of laundry in his arms .

I heard the washing machine start and Camden came back into the room.

" Babe , I'm going to blow dry and brush out your hair okay ?" He said, and rolled my desk chair into the bathroom so I wouldn't have to stand .

He turned the hair dryer on warm and began to dry my hair for me . Once it was mostly dry , he turned the dryer off and got out my brush.

" I'm going to be as gentle as I can baby." He said as he started to brush the knots from my hair . " You're so beautiful and strong love and I hope you know how much I love you ." He lowered his head and whispered to me.

It took him about 35 minutes to fully get all the knots out of my hair and once he did , he pulled me up from the chair and into a giant hug . He held my face and said " Look at you , you're doing so well." .

He kissed me again and then asked me if I wanted to try to brush my teeth while he made me something to eat . I really didn't feel up to it but I wanted to make him proud , so I did it , while I heard him clanging around the kitchen. After I finished I walked into the kitchen and saw him making me some mac and cheese , which is my favorite of all time .

" Aw babe that looks so good, thank you ." I said and cracked a smile .

" Anything for you my love ." He said and he served me a plate .

I sat at the table and ate while he switched the sheets over to the dryer . When he came back I was done eating, so he led me to the couch and brought me close to him rubbing my back as we watched a movie.

I must've fallen asleep on him because a few hours later I woke up in bed laying on fresh sheets . He was next to me on his phone watching Netflix or something. He noticed I was awake and set down his phone .

He rolled toward me and said " Night baby. You did good today and I'm proud of you and I love you."

" Goodnight , I love you too ." And I fell asleep laying on his chest .
