Write a Letter You Cannot Send (Read the Rules!)

[monochrome.]

Dear parents,
Depression isn't a game.
Stop acting like it isn't a problem.
I'm not going to get better if you ignore the
issue, I'm not going to be happier because you
buy me a cupcake and pat me on the head.
Stop acting like it's my fault.
Like it's my attitude.
It's a chemical imbalance that I have no control
over. Stop getting angry and telling me that
this family would be better off without me,
that I have a terrible personality, that I'm a
bad person.
Don't you think I know all those things?
Don't you think that I'm reminded of them everytime
I look at you? Everytime I ask for a ride? Everytime I
need anything from you, I'm reminded of how much you
hate me.

I'm so terrified of you and what you're pushing me towards.
You terrify me.
So much that I can't even talk to you about.... anything.
I can't talk to you because I'm terrified of your reactions.
I can't come out to you.
I can't talk to you about my meds and their side effects.
I can't trust you.

~ Your depressed, bisexual, chronically ill child.

Dear sister,
Stop it.
I get you're a middle schooler and that
you hate me.
But please stop ruining my life.
I'm tired of hiding in my room, blockading the door
and having no way to contact the two people who I actually
care about all because you thought a tantrum was necessary.

David (French Fry),
I'm sorry. Sometimes you were the only person there to talk to me. And for hours on end you'd listen. And tell me it's okay. You never asked much. Just that I smiled, and remembered to be happy. Now I can't even meet those simple requests.
I remember that fine when I fainted during TAB. And I wake up with you sitting next to me. I remember shooting miniature arrows at each other with those tiny bows. You were always kind. Made me kaddish, and smile. But now I can't. And U don't know why.
With love,
Rose (Ava)

Dear Katie,
I miss you too much so I'm going to join you. I know my family will miss me but one day they will be where you and I will be. I am going to leave them a note saying what I've done and why. I don't know if I should go though, if I didn't go I would still someday meet you.

dear goosie,
sometimes i lie to you about things so i can escape for a bit.
it's not because of you, though.
sometimes talking is just stressful.
i'm sorry i'm not better yet.

You,

Come back please
I have a lot to tell you.
I like having you know things.
Like, I won't be here for a little while on Thursday.
Though you're gone so much, I doubt you'll be around, either.
Or the fact that I found his base
and she was so mad, it was hilarious, you should've seen it!
I just
I wish you were here to protect me from him.
I don't know.
I just miss you.
You're really sweet, you know.
You get me through a lot.
I'm kinda going through a lot.
Nothing bad, I'm just...
having a tiny bit of a mental breakdown.
It isn't very fun.
I just really like it when you're here. So can you come back?
I really miss you.
And I'm scared.
I could use your assurance.

~ C

N,
No baby no
Please
Listen to me
Don't lose it
Yes, this world is full of horrible things.
That's why you're cynical, isn't it?
Are you okay?
... Please...
Talk to me...
I feel something snapping and I don't know what it is
I want you to calm down
Can you calm down?
I know it hurts.
I don't know what hurts.
But something hurts.
Why are you in pain?
...
Nate, please.
Don't do this.

Dear G.B.

You're my step sister, but I consider you to be one of my best friends. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you. You've taught me a lot, and ever since we met you've been the bad role model that I never had in my life. Remember when you first came over? I was too afraid to do anything to upset my parents. I wouldn't even take food out of the fridge without asking for permission. I hardly talked to anyone because I was afraid that people wouldn't like me for who I was. Because of you, I'm confident, I've made a group of weird, and yet totally amazing friends, and most importantly I've learned how to have FUN. You've taught me that teenagers are allowed to make mistakes, because that's just how we learn. You've taught me that when I feel it's necessary, it's okay to stand up for myself. That's why I had to write this letter. You're one of my best friends, but you're slowly beginning to change. You're becoming less like the fun loving, food fight starting, and sarcastic girl I once knew, and more like a distant acquaintance. You hardly ever stop by any more, and quite honestly, I miss you.

Your step sister,
J.S

Dear Me--

I am disgusted with you. You see someone else is suffering, and the first thought through your head is "Now they now what it feels like"?? Just because they put you through that pain does not mean you should wish it on them!! You are selfish and weak and I hate you. Them hurting does not solve anything. They probably won't even connect their situation to your own, people's minds just don't work that way. So you are getting a twisted sense of satisfaction for NOTHING. You are too bitter and angry and self-absorbed, and you know that if it would solve anything I would make you disappear. But life just doesn't work that way, so you're stuck here. And you're supposed to be trying not to hurt anyone. But you can't even do that right. You can't do anything right. So shut up and stay out of everyone's lives, you'll only make things worse.

old friend,
you seriously didn't even move out of state? you just sort of stopped calling or going online and forgot about me because you got a boyfriend??? i wish my mother hadn't noticed you at the store, i was really better off just thinking you moved and were busy with life or a job or something, instead of knowing you ditched me. now all the stupid pain and wondering what i could've done better is coming back after 4 whole years, and i really don't need that right now. well... at least you're okay, and you seem happy, i'm glad to know that much. nobody else should have to feel like i do at this age, and it seems like you've avoided that well enough.
