Putting Thoughts on Paper

Gave it a shot

They gave it a shot, the whole depression thing, and in the end they decided it was best to put it away for a while. For that brief moment that it lasted, it gave way to many questions and anxieties that were not welcome to the still developing mind. They wanted to understand the emotions swirling around in their head and wanted help from those around them to be at peace with what  they appeared to themself as. It was hard at first and many struggles came and went along the way, many things learned and eventually forgotten. The initial problem itself ended up in the dark for quite a while almost as if never to surface again, but they were as wrong as I in this situation. Once resurfacing this feeling sent them into yet another loop of frantic worrying and stressful breakdowns. "Will I ever feel at peace with myself?" "Am I ever to be successful in such a state?" These thoughts were frequent and as such were ever more worrying to the poor soul. At a certain point they gave up on even trying to worry or feel stressed about it and it swiftly slipped into the recesses of their mind and ever since they haven't felt much of anything outside of music and entertainment. The part that had slipped back into the darkness was a crucial part of everyday life for them. One that wouldn't come back for a very long time.

I'd say giving up is hard but it's honestly all too easy under pressure.
