Short Stories Of Depression

Her Darkness

She sits in a corner surrounded in darkness telling herself that she's not good enough. Her demons she's fighting so hard to keep away are slipping out of their barricade. The demons are starting to get to her, she's starting to think negatively. Thinking about harming herself or maybe even killing herself. She breathes in and sighs, She looks at the four walls that are surrounding her. She can hear the voices saying "Why are you still alive"  "Just end it now, You'll be so much happier" "Just one deep enough cut and it'll be over". Life isn't easy. Everyone struggles with a different illness sometimes multiple and some worse than others. Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar Etc. These illnesses are passed off as excuses sometimes so people don't have to own up to the truth. They use it as a crutch and make the others who really suffer look lazy or like their bad people. Some people need medication, others don't and it's never easy fighting the demons telling you to end everything when you feel alone and useless already.
