Dear Mental Health,

You have taken people that I care about away or under your influence. All of them like family or they are my actual family. It hurts that you would do that. I don’t understand why you do what you do.  

You’ve also tried to take me away from my friends and family, but you’ve failed. However panic and anxiety have taken the biggest toll on me.

Both have been with me my entire life and will probably never go away. Depression has been with me for a few years. Each time it tries to take me away I say no.

I say no to it because I don't want to leave… I don’t want to leave my friends as they’re always been there for me and will always be with me. However out of everyone that I know I refuse to leave my family no matter what. My family has been with me my entire life and that won’t change. It doesn’t matter how hard you try… I WILL NEVER LEAVE MY FAMILY!!

That won’t change not now and not in the future. I will never let you tell me what I can and can’t do. You can’t dictate my life. It’s my life therefore it’s my decision in what I do. I care what you think. You can’t control me… I control myself, that won’t change.  

No matter how hard anxiety, panic, and depression I will continue to live my life my way.
