TW - Mentions of insecurity, depression, and anxiety. It is very descriptive in the effects the have and how it feels. There is one implication of feeling suicidal in the last part, but it's not explicitly stated.

Disclaimer- I have never had depression nor an anxiety disorder, to my knowledge, so if I get something wrong, please tell me, I want this to be as accurate as possible.

As I wrote these chapters, I imagined it in a beat poetry fashion, but you don't have to read it like that. The prompt for this is that Roman is struggling with mental issues, so he's attempting to cope by writing letters to them as if they were people.



Dear Anxiety,

You control my heart at a very spontaneous rate. Sometimes I'm sitting there doing nothing, and you decide to start doing something. You dig around in my memories and play the ones I hate. You make me feel like crying, but I can't so my insides' doomed to keep on dying. Depression begs that I sleep but you keep me up thinking all night. You amplify Insecurity and Depression's words until they're screaming in my head and they just won't shut up! And you all start yelling at me at the same time, until I can't keep it in, so it all breaks out- and it starts to feel like there's only one way to make it all just- stop! ....but hope fights you....I just don't know for how long.... I can't stand you...but I have to...

~Roman
