Dear Depression,

You did not win today, I did!  Today, my Mental Health Ninja Skills were much better than yours.

For every attack you made, trying to put dark thoughts in my head, I countered with my positive thoughts.  You almost were able to slip in through the Gate of Unnecessary Worries, but I was able to stop you in your tracks by  using logical thinking and problem solving skills.  You and I both knew the fight was over when I was able to defuse your bombs that were meant to destroy my self esteem and self worth.

Depression, I really do not like to fight with you. You are a part of me and there are times when you serve a purpose.  However, you must understand, that you are no longer in charge.  I am.  The sooner you accept that fact, the sooner we both can move forward.

Wishing you a positive day,

Melissa
