"Why'd you want him to leave?" the doctor asks her

"I don't want him to hear my answers" she responds focusing on the floor

"Okay. So have you been feeling sad lately"

"Not really sad I just get upset about being able to do things on my own"

"Elaborate" he says writing something down

"A few days ago I got dressed in my room alone and I was all proud and then I got upset because I was proud of something so stupid"

"Oh I'm sorry but you shouldn't feel stupid about anything. And being proud of yourself is a good thing. The prouder you are the happier you are making your self overall become."

"Also every night I have these nightmares. And I don't like having them"

"What happens in these nightmares"

"There's this black cloud following me and everywhere I turn its there and there's a group of people. I go up to the group and ask them about the cloud and they say they don't see it and that it's not real and I'm just crazy. But I'm not crazy cause it's definitely there and it's so visible. And I ask everyone I see and they all say I'm crazy. But then every time right before I wake up the cloud goes away and a bright rainbow starts following me and I wake up" she explains

"Hmm. Well it's seems like your dream is trying to tell you something. Maybe the black cloud is your depression"

"But people know I'm depressed"

"Would You consider yourself depressed"

"No I don't think I am. I'm happy more than I'm not"

"Maybe you're the group of people saying it's not there and everyone else is you. Maybe the cloud is following you because when people see you they see The understanding that you are depressed but when you look at you, you don't see depression."

"That actually makes a lot of sense. But what about the rainbow"

"I say that's a great sign that one day you won't have this depression and everyone and you see yourself as happy and without depression"

"So one day I'll be normal again" she asks

"You already are normal. Depression is a really hard thing, everyone knows that but it's also a normal thing. But if you think normal as not having depression then yes one day you will be 'normal' again. But before you can get 'normal' you have to accept the fact that you are depressed and that there's nothing wrong with that. Celebrate the great things you do. Celebrate the great things you have. I see you have an amazing brother taking care of you and I'm sure there's so many more things. Don't focus on the bad things or the negative parts of your depression but focus on the good. And please please eat more. We really need you at that 125 pound mark. Your recovery will happen faster the more weight you have"

"Thank you"

Julia leaves the room and walks into the waiting room walking right over to Daniel and hugging him

"Thank you for being an amazing brother and helping me with all of this. I know it's a lot"

"Of course. That's my job as your big brother. We will get through this together and I know you will make it out of this dark tunnel"
