Another pill. This is ridiculous. All of this. The doctors, The medications, The therapists. Why do I have to be broken? Why can't I just be happy? A shelf full of anti-depressants. Ridiculous. I feel like a zombie. I purposely skip doses. I need to remind myself that I'm alive. Even if it means I'm in pain. It takes so much willpower, You know, Not to overdose. This is ridiculous. I want to fix me. I don't know how, though. I miss feeling alive.

Am I Alive?
Another pill. This is ridiculous. All of this. The doctors, The medications, The therapists. Why do I have to be broken? Why can't I just be happy? A shelf full of anti-depressants. Ridiculous.

For those of you who do not know me, I am open about this. I am on medication for chronic depression, and it does drive me crazy. I skip doses probably once every two weeks, just to come back to reality. But it is okay. I know it will be. <3
