I want to leave, permanently.
When reality has nothing beyond piles of housework and fighting children, their susceptible health worsened by the toxic temperament you seep with-
When a positive attitude is a mask, crafted by sugared substance and numbed emotions-
When the events you look forward to must, inevitably, include your offspring or some expensive caregiver-
When your soulmate shutters his heart against the pain of association, and says you are only darkness-
Only in the Mind of Depression is it logical to stand at the top-post railing of Life and contemplate the sweet possibility of permanently leaving.
Such powerful and deep emotional despair eloquently voiced.

Beautifully written Chelsea. You took me as a reader into the mind that is tortured and feels abandoned. I hope someone can help before she does anything. Well done.

My God! So powerful and moving. Even this small peek into the mind of someone suffering from depression is so disturbing, I’s sure we cannot even imagine what they must be going through!
