Write a ‘Dear John’ letter to your depression.

This unusual and provocative prompt involves writing a letter as if depression was a person you were ending a relationship with. This may feel like a strange concept, but it can lead to a cathartic examination of how you perceive your depression, how it impacts your life and even a narrative of how you’ve grown over time. What message you would like to send to your depression? How does it make you feel? What would you say if you could communicate with it directly?
