A chat with Depression

My buddy told me this:

"I feel like I'm loosing it, the emotional breakdowns, the betrayals and the fact that i have to relive it everyday. Why do i feel lonely? Why does it hurt so much? When is it gonna end? Why do i feel so inadequate? When does it get better? I never realised how much some people meant to me until they're gone.

Everything happening right now is just sheer bedlam, like i don't really care about anything anymore"

I replied him this way:

"I may not be in your shoes currently and cannot even begin to imagine what you're going through but i could say i understand, i don't know how possible that sounds, I think i do. This pain is not meant to swallow you, its one you must live through and tell the tale. I'm convinced you're a good person and i don't really know what you need to do with that piece of information but heaven know you're one of the best souls I've ever known.

Maybe this world isn't built for good people to thrive, i know only good people experience true happimess no matter how short lived it is. I know its a reach but we're making it out of this mental crisis soon. Do what you gotta do to stay sane, clear you head everytime you feel you need to, I'll be here however you need my help buddy"
