[ WP ] Write the letter that you always wanted to , but never did .

Dear me, 
 
 Depression is like sitting in a dark room, facing a door. 
 Behind that door is everything you can dream of. Happiness, cute animals. A good job. A happy relationship. Success, drive. Love. Family. Good food. Everything you need that you feel is lacking is in there. 
 
 You're in reaching distance of the door, your fingertips are just brushing on the cool metal of the door handle. But you do n't have the energy to open it. It's probably locked. You do n't deserve all the things that are inside there anyway. If you worked harder you would n't need to open the door. You're too selfish. You're too dumb. You're too tired all the time. Maybe what's behind the door is n't really going to make you happy. It's just too good to be true. 
 
 The better part of you is saying, `` open the door. I believe in you. You deserve this.'' The rest of you aches. 
 
 Open the door. 
 
 Edit: Wow, thank you for the gold!
