In The Dark

People always say, 'There's no reason to be depressed.' or 'what do you have to be depressed about.'A lot of the time it's, 'you seem fine to me.' Yes, I do seem fine, but I'm breaking underneath the surface.They don't see behind the mask we all hold up. 'Everyone gets these feelings.' yes they do, but some are worse than others, yet its pain nonetheless. They don't understand what goes through our minds when we do things they think are crazy, like cutting. They don't understand that when we look in a mirror, we hate what we see. Or when you cry yourself to sleep at night for reasons that are still unknown to you. Those feelings of sadness, loneliness, desperation, anxiety. Those fears of being abandoned by the ones you love the most, or being a burden because you're sharing your feelings. They don't understand.....But I do. This book is for all those people that feel even one of these. You are not alone
