A letter from me, myself, depression and anxiety.

As I am already introduced I bet you are super familiar with me. I am your everyday annoyance that sticks with you even through your sleep. Yes, that's me running through your head as you have those wild crazy dreams. I am the thing that doesn't let you get a break because I am literally the last thing you think about before you go to sleep and the first thing you think about what you wake up. Aren't you so lucky to have me?

You know when you're out with the ones you love and you're smiling and laughing but you have an odd pit in your stomach or a weird feeling in your chest, don't worry that's just me. Did you think you could go somewhere without me? Every morning that you wake up wishing for a good day but you can't stop crying it's just me raining on your parade. Some days I will even do this thing where I make you feel like you're totally alone and no one loves you, even though you know damn sure they do. Basically, I am your lifelong worst enemy. I am a monster that dwells inside of the most important part of your human life, your mind. I practically take over your mind on your worst days. Without you there would be no me, so I sure thank you for your existence.

As much as I love you as my host, there are certain days where you totally anger me. The days where I am knocking inside of your head, practically whispering in your ears telling you every worst case scenario, and you ignore me. Gosh, I hate that. I can't stand when you are out occupying yourself with something other than me. It is completely unfair because if you don't feed me by letting me consume you I could die off or something. Maybe one day you would wake up after depriving me of your time and I would be gone. Wouldn't that be horrifying? How could you deprive me, I am with you every single day and that is just completely rude. Every day that you lay in bed with me and cry or think about all the bad things you make me extra happy, but the days you run off and do things and laugh all day are just super sucky.

So as you can see, you threaten to abolish me by not giving me the time of day. I love to be on your shoulders, making you feel like the weight of the world is there. I love to be in your head as you zone out of conversations because you can't stop listening to me. I love to make you feel as if no one understands you because then, I get more time with you. Better yet, you get more time with me and who doesn't want that. You can't leave me behind, I am with you every day. After all, I am your best friend aren't I?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
