Zach: Hey I'm ur moms friend's kid.

Zoe: Hi, I'm The Apparently Depressed Zoe and it's step mum.

Zach: Hey the apparently depressed Zoe. What's up?

Zoe: Everything really. Life, school, life...I hate it and I don't know why I'm telling u all of this. We haven't met and I don't know you.

Zach: It's fine, maybe it's because you have held it in for so long? How long has it been?

Zoe: 5 months and 3 days.

Zach: I'm not trying to be bossy or anything but why don't you go see someone?

Zoe: I can't, I don't know why I just can't.

Zach: Why don't you talk to me instead? On this and if you ever need to speak to me face to face I have Skype?

Zoe: I will give it a go...I doubt it will work though. Depression is hard work I feel like giving up...

Zach: Please don't Zoe. Don't give up. I need to ask a few questions ok? Be honest.

Zoe: Ok I will try...

Zach: How do you know you are depressed?

Zoe: Step Mum says.

Zach: OK. How long do you sleep for?

Zoe: Three to four hours a day.

Zach: You need 8 hours a day. Try sleeping pills. How old are you?

Zoe: 16 how about you?

Zach: 18. How much do you eat?

Zoe: 1 meal a day. Just enough to survive. I drink 3 drinks a day. Step parents don't know. They think I'm on a diet and they are barely home anyway.

Zach: Ok. Try making it up to two meals a day, with SOME calories and get up to 4 drinks a day, slowly building it up. I know it's easier said then done. Believe me.

Zoe: How do you know all of this? I will try, I really will.

Zach: Don't laugh please. I'm still recovering from anorexia and depression myself. Relapsed twice in 2 months. Been out of hospital 4 months. Trying to help others. Mom and dad split up. divorce, bullying, tried to commit and failed. Found myself in hospital for a year. Coping.

Zoe: I thought I was bad. Jesus how are you?

Zoe: Doesn't matter you're coping.

Zach: I'm fine getting better. It's getting late we've been speaking since 12. It's 7 I've got to go . I have an appointment with my head doctor in half an hour and then the hospital. Wish me luck.

Zoe: Good luck. Tell me how u get on tomorrow and it's 2 in the afternoon in America, where I live.

Zach: Thanks, I'm sorry I better get some sleep I've got to get some sleep. I live in Hull, no where special...

Zoe: You'll make it special...Night talk when I wake up?

Zach: Yeah. Night Zoe...
