Mom and Dad, you say I slack off. Well, guess what? The reason I go on social networking sites all the time is to get away from all the tension caused by you two, mostly Mom. Would you rather have a failing mentally stable daughter or a straight-A student with emotional and relationship problems?
Best friend, you said on Thursday that you’d always be there for me. On Friday I broke down, and you barely even looked at me. And now today, you’re telling me to vent to someone else because you have your own problems to deal with at the moment – just to “give you time” so you can finally be there when a friend needs you. I understand that you have problems just as much as I do, but I needed you, and this weekend I had three or four mental breakdowns every day (even yesterday) because of the tension at home and the fact that I couldn’t talk to you because you were wrapped up in your own issues.
I wonder what any of you would say if I told you I’ve been clinically depressed for the past year and a half. You probably wouldn’t believe me. I guess you’ll never really know who I am, then.
I just need someone to listen to me. It’s like I’m on a podium with a megaphone, screaming at the top of my lungs, with my only audience the dust that settles on the street, and the people who walk by mindlessly, wrapped up in their own issues. Someone, please…help me. I can’t go on like this for much longer without totally breaking. PLEASE. Just listen. Don’t turn a blind eye.
