Hey,
I know I don't update my stories. I have depression and anxiety disorders so it makes it hard to want to do anything at all, least of all write. However, when I am in a sad, anxious or traumatized mood, I write poems. It's random, but I've uploaded them onto here as a book called "A Diary of the Depressed." It gives insight onto the process your mind goes through when you are in a pit you can't seem to crawl out of. Or, more specifically, me. The poems are a mess, but they're only made up of the truth.
In this collection of my poems, there are a couple happy ones and different hotlines to contact if you are in need of any help for your emotional well-being. YOU are important. YOU are loved. Have fun, be you, and don't let anyone tell you you aren't worth it or amazing. Because you are. I am here to say that. I may not know you personally, but I know for a fact you are amazing. Use "A Diary of the Depressed" to educate others, and to push through yourself.
Depression is not "made up." Depression is not fake, an excuse, or anything else. It is real, it is an issue. People don't commit suicide because they're selfish or for any other ridiculous reason. People commit suicide because they're sad, or believe the world would be better off without them. The world will be for the WORSE without them. Keep fighting. Help others understand.
I love u
