Seeking Comfort

Write a conversation with your depression, trying to reason, comfort, and understand it.

This prompt encourages writers to personify their mental illness, to give it a voice and face that can be more directly confronted. Addressing depression this way can stimulate dialogue about feelings of sadness, anxiety, and fear. This process may lead to a better understanding of one’s emotions, worries, and stressors, potentially outlining methods for managing depression or attaining professional help.
