An Open Letter to my Bipolar Depression

Hey remember me? Of course you don't because you rarely give me the chance to be myself. I met you when I was 13 and you've violated me in so many ways.
I finally decided to get help to get rid of you and it kinda worked. It worked until I realized I was taking twelve pills a day at the age of 15 because my body wasn't doing what it was supposed to. You gave me insecurities, took away my friends, pushed my family away, and I lost myself. How dare you? How dare you come and go as you please?!
You take a hiatus every now and again and make me believe this is it, I'm finally happy and everything is going great. I build new relationships and begin trusting people again. You always know the perfect time to creep on me and shove away any happiness I have left. My world is turned into a lonely abyss. Those around me begin to congratulate me because I'm smiling. That's how rare you've made my joy. I have to work twice as everyone else just to get out of bed and do normal everyday tasks. I'm so sick of you ruining me.
You have even take away my ability to fight back. I promise to count my blessings when you make me feel this way because nothing anyone can say will make me feel better...there is no conquering you so I'll be having to learn to live with you.
