Interrogated

Me: “Hey, I need someone to talk to, do you have time?”

Them: “What’s wrong with you now?

Me: “Just been feeling wrapped up in my thoughts lately. Just feeling really down today.”

Them: “Why are you like this?”

Me: “I have depression. This isn’t something that I chose.”

Them: “When will you give up this self pity act?”

Me: “ It’s not self pity. It’s desperation. A longing to have normal thoughts. Normal feelings and emotional intensity.”

Them: “How can you complain when your life isn’t that bad?”

Me: “I’m not complaining. Im trying to explain that I’m struggling to keep my sanity with all these negative thoughts running through my head.

Them: “Who will care about you when you do this to yourself?”

Me: “Thats the point. Who will care when my brain is like this?”

     
      The reactions I receive from select few people when I confess my sins and express my fears.

I pray that someday more of the world will come to accept and understand mental illnesses after all these years.

Some people will always see those of us that mentally struggle; as clowns,
but if they only knew what we really juggle.

I know that the whole world wont be on the same page.

I truly believe that someday we can escape this judgmental cage.
