Personal Narrative Essay: The Cause Of Depression

Improved Essays
I am sorry but there is no way we are ever going to be friends again. I have kept my cool, and controlled temper for a while, and now I just feel anger and resentment towards you. I don 't want to feel angry all of the time. If we talked in person I would lose my temper, and that is something I do not want to do. You may think that things are going to change, but I will honestly say right now that it is never going to happen. I am sick and tired of all the games you play with me.

Depression is a serious issue, and to be blamed for it is one of the most hurtful things anyone has ever said to me. Because of this I began to feel self conscience about myself as a person. On the topic of being self conscience…every time you told me I had fat hands it really hurt. I asked you nicely the first time to stop, and you never stopped. It might sound stupid, but to me my hands are one of my biggest insecurities. You told me that I used you. That I was just using you do “do cool things”, like going to disneyland. Let me tell you again that it is not the case. I never used you, and you know that.Your apologies were never sincere. In Florida when you forced me to talk to you….I hated it. You made a whole scene in the restaurant just to get my attention. You pressured me to be friends again which wasn 't okay at
