i keep my depression hidden. most of my family doesn't even know about it. i typically don't talk about it to anybody except my closest friends. there are some days where i could just stay in bed and not think about anything.

Writing Working / Worked

i've always wrote in a journal or blog. i have diaries from my elementary years until recently. i generally write when i'm extremely depressed, or beyond angry. most of the things i write tend to shock people... i keep my writings very private because each entry is so important to me. sometimes it's the only thing that can make me feel okay. but sometimes it gets so bad i can't 'think' of anything to write...
