This story is for anyone who has been through this-no matter the age.

I wanted to write something different-a quiet attempt to help people empathize with a problem I've dealt with for a while. Not depression, but sadness. The silent kind-the kind that makes you mask how you feel because, after all, it's normal to feel like this, right?

I write from personal experience. I don't know what deep depression truly feels like, and I can't speak for what others go through. Sadness takes many forms-raw and loud, devouring and close... but also quiet. Silent. Dismissive.All Rights Reserved

The Space Between Our Lines by sevenwrites_

Have you ever felt a love that lives in silence, in the spaces no one notices? A longing that trembles in your chest but never finds its voice? What if the one who could fill the emptiness inside you is the one you are too afraid to reach for? What if every almost, every hesitation, every word left unsent has been shaping your life more than you realize? Can you find the courage before fear takes over? Can you cross the spaces that keep you apart without breaking yourself? What if the person you were meant to love has been walking beside you all along, yet you never dared to see them? What if the life you dream of exists only in the moments you almost live it? What if letting go is the only way to hold on? And when the lines between hope and heartbreak blur, will you recognize what you've been searching for before it slips away forever? In the quiet between longing and choice, between love and fear, the question remains for you, for me, for every heart that dares to hope: can we step into the life and the love that has been waiting for us all along?

Consumed by the Darkness by coolbeast345

Trigger Warning: School shootings, attempted suicide, mental health How do you live with pain? How do you go through so much... and still manage to smile? It's hard. But it's even harder when you're alone - facing battles no one sees, fighting silent struggles with no one to lean on. Some people fight until they make it. Others fight until they break. Some respond with anger. Others don't respond at all. The question is: how will you respond?

Fix Me, I'm Broken by Ana11e1y

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell. I want to enter this story in the #Wattys2015 please help me out and vote and comment on my story. I'll really appreciate it!!! #Wattys2015 COPYRIGHTED Â© 2014 BY Anallely ALL RIGHTS RESERVED Â®

All Shades Of Blood by barbaramikovic

It's like you're screaming, and no one can hear. You almost feel ashamed. That someone could be that important. That without them, you feel like nothing. No one will ever understand how much it hurts. You feel hopeless, like nothing can save you. And when it's over, and it's gone. You almost wish that you could have all that bad stuff back. So that you could have the good.

What If I Told You... by applejuice456

Ever felt that no one in this world understands you? Sometimes you want to talk to people who think like you or experience the same thing. These are a few instances which many people may relate to. Something related to studies, love life, everyday struggles. - Few instances are based on true events. If anyone wants to submit there stories. I would love to write them anonymously. The main idea is to prove that you're not alone. THESE WRITE UPS AREN'T IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER. THE READER CAN START FROM ANYWHERE THEY LIKE.

IT STILL HURTS!!! by 66thkryptonite

Sometimes, love isn't the fairytale they tell us-it's the quiet storm that rages inside when you lose yourself chasing someone who was never meant to stay. It still hurts. Not because of what they did, but because of what you let yourself believe. This is a story about heartbreak, revenge, and the haunting echoes of what could have been. It's raw, it's painful, and it's real. If you've ever loved and lost, if you've ever wanted to scream at the world, if you've ever felt the weight of loneliness crushing your chest... this story is for you. Because, sometimes, we don't get the happy ending. But that doesn't mean the story isn't worth telling.

Almost, Always 🍁🥀 by _velvetverse_

"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

His Silence, My Storm: Drowning In Hope by manahilalihere

They say love begins in silence. But what happens when the silence lasts too long? This is not a love story about happily ever afters. This is a story about almosts- About late-night conversations that stopped just short of meaning something. About eye contacts that promised more, but always ended in friendship. In Part 1, she loved him quietly. In Part 2, she starts to speak- but still, he doesn't listen the way she hoped. She tries to become his safe place. She tries to heal his fear of attachment. She tries to read his mind, hold his hand without holding it, and love him in a way that feels patient-not desperate. But the more she hopes, the more she drowns. This is the continuation of a one-sided love story that became too heavy to carry. A confession soaked in unsent messages, mixed signals, and a storm of emotions that never found a home. Sometimes, loving someone means letting go. Sometimes, silence is louder than goodbye.

To You, by angielynna513

I just wanted to feel as if someone like you exists. You were the only one who cared enough to talk to me. The only one kind enough to try to get me to say more than two words. The only one who cared enough to keep me around, I know that by the time I give you this, you won't know where I am until the end. If you skip it all, if you ignore it, or if you read it before I leave just know that nonetheless, I wanted to say thank you. There's just some things in life, I need to get off my chest and doing this, I feel like I could have someone to tell. I know it's not the same as telling you in person but, to me, this means a hell of a lot more.

Hidden by DarlingSophisticated

[DISCONTINUED] **MATURE LANGUAGE AND CONTENT** **POSSIBLE TRIGGERS** WATTYS2018 I walk down the staircase, entranced with his sharp, angular features. I notice how his lip curls up at the edge when he sees me. A soft breeze blows his scent across the room, and I can't think. Roses and salty ocean waves fill my nostrils. Add sunlight to the mix- which shouldn't have a smell but Luna, he smells like it- and I'm pretty sure if I could open my mouth, I'd be drooling. 'Mate.' My wolf whispers, giddy. I scramble back up the stairs. ____________________ Opening up when something terrible happens is hard. Near impossible. Jessamine Lightly was as normal as a Lycanthrope could be, but also a self-conscious teenager who felt a little out of place. She never thought that a boy would be interested in her, much less want to date her. Jessa learns too late that not every boy has pure intentions, and the boy she thought loved her, just wanted what was beneath her clothing. Hiding her physical and emotional pain from her family, Jessa copes with scarring memories and revelations. Intent on escaping her personal devil, Jessa plans to leave her pack. But having her mate- that she doesn't want- show up on her doorstep could change everything. Love, pain, twisted agendas and more...Jessamine goes through it all.
