This week was emotional. Everyone has good and bad days. I'm not sure if you are acrually experiencing depression, only you can know that. But I wanted you to know that I prayed for you. I don't really do that often but I thought it was necessary for me to do so. I do believe your in my life for a reason and I believe I'm in yours for a reason. All my life I joke around saying I'm a superhero. Well I may not have powers but I do they and save people by making them smile and putting others before myself. I prayed that he would give me the strength and courage to help comfort you and help you with lifes challenges. But only if you want my help of course. I did research and asked a therapist I work with how I could deal with bad days or getting "stuck in the muck" she said (Healthy Thinking). "Negative thoughts make negative feelings worse. Changing your way of thinking will take time. You need to practice Healthy thinking everyday and after a while, healthy thinking will come natural to you."
It's funny cuz what she said was exactly what I did these past 2 years and it worked! Your mother was right about the positive thinking and to always stay positive to block out or over power the negative.
Anyways what I'm trying to say is that we opened up to eachother and thank you for doing that. I'll never think it's your "Depression" when your just having a bad day. Its normal and thats such a harsh word. I understand how hard it is to let someone in, I've only told 2 other people the things Ive told you and one used it against me in a argument. I'll never do that to someone.
But you cant push me away baby because I fell in love with you and im to conceded to you. I want a future with you... I love you
