So, we're depressed again Script (Unused)
🕑 Added 2022-10-22 03:00:01 +0000 UTCTrigger Warning: Depression
This one... yeah this was rough. I won't get into a lot of the story behind this one. I wrote this as a vent and it comes from experience. I wasn't brave enough to even reread it, let alone record or post it. I don't think I'll ever be brave enough to face this part of myself.
But who knows, maybe someone out there will relate.
So, we're depressed again: [F4A] [TW] [Depression Comfort] ASMR Roleplay
Sounds needed: Rain, fireplace
Rain Sounds
Hey.
Pause
Hey. I'm back... do I get a hello?
Pause
Can I sit down at least?
Pause
What're you getting up for?
Pause
No just... let's not to that.
Pause
I dunno. Don't feel like it. Don't feel like moving at all.
Pause
You should lay back down for a while.
Pause
Just a little while. You can do all that later... maybe watch that show again. I like that show.
Pause
No? Ok. That's fine. Actually, it's not fine because nothing's fine, but hey. That's fine. We can just sit here. Or lay down. That's fine. But not sleep, though. You can't sleep. No sleep for you. No sleep for me.
Pause
Why did I come back?
Pause
I dunno. Did you want me back?
Pause
Ok, ok, I was just asking. Sometimes I feel like I'm a part of you, you know.
Pause
Hey, I know I'm not all of you. You're other things, too. You're talented. And loved. Those things. Except I make you feel like you're not...
Pause
My name? Come on, you know my name. Do you really have to ask again?
Pause
No, don't get up. Just... lay back down. Those assignments can wait. We can get them done... later.
Pause
I dunno when just later. Not right now.
Pause
What do we want to do right now?
Pause
I dunno. Sleep? Oh, right we can't sleep. Guess you'll have to just stare at the ceiling and listen to sad music for a while.
Pause
No, don't text them. It will only disappoint you. They care about you but... you don't believe that. I make it so you don't believe that.
Pause
Yeah, I make you believe a lot of things that aren't true. But what are you going to do about it? Knowing the truth doesn't change anything. It doesn't change how you feel.
Pause
No, don't get up. You don't want to get up. You want to just... lay here for a while.
Pause
Ok, try to do something. You have no motivation, you know that. And you have no energy.
Pause
If anyone asks how you're doing, just say fine.
Pause
If they say you don't look fine just say you're tired.
Pause
They'll never know if you don't tell them. You could tell them, of course. And maybe they'd help. I'm sure they could help. But here's another lie that will keep you from them. I'm standing in the way again.
Pause
You should just go back to bed. I don't know why you even try. Things do get better, they definitely do, but while I'm with you, you won't see that. I'll put those glasses on that blur your vision. I'll keep your eyes on the ground in front of you, so you'll never see the beautiful sunrise on the horizon. After all, it hurts right now. The future doesn't matter.
Pause
Oh, look there. You told someone. Did it help? I'm still here. What did they say?
Pause
I'll bet they said it was just in your head.
Pause
I'll bet they said you just needed to have more faith.
Pause
I'll bet they said you needed to eat right and exercise.
Pause
I'll bet they said 'same' and moved on.
Pause
Hmm. It's sort of funny. They are so free, going through their day to day lives. They don't feel this way. They don't know me. They don't seem real, even. As happy as they are.
Pause
Happy. Now that's someone I haven't met in a while. I wonder how the old guy is doing. He hasn't seemed to stop by in a couple... how long has it been?
Pause
The fake happy doesn't count. The fake smiles don't, either. I make those. I put a lot of effort into them, too. I use all your remaining energy for them. I drain you dry... but hey, at least everyone thinks you're ok, right?
Pause
It's getting darker in here. This hole is getting bigger. You should ask for help soon, you know or... you might not ever get out. You and me might get stuck here forever.
Pause
Can you ask someone for help?
Pause
Do you feel safe to ask for help?
Pause
Sigh.
I'm sorry for what I'm doing to you. I don't like hurting you. And I know you don't like hurting yourself.
Pause
You will get through this. You will get through me. It might take a while. But you will eventually.
Pause
I know I'm just your Depression. But if I may say... you bear it very well. No one knows. You don't burden anyone. Still. It's a heavy burden for you. I'm a heavy burden to carry alone.
Pause
We could just lay here for a while more. We could listen to another sad song. Maybe we'll cry. Maybe we can't anymore. Either way.
Pause
Is it comforting or terrifying, knowing that I'm not going anywhere? Not for a while, at least. When I finally leave, will you miss me or feel relived? Will you know who you are without me?
Pause
Will you like the person you become, after you finally destroy me? Will you be better, stronger?
Pause
I think you're just fine right as you are. I don't see why you need me to grow. You were a perfectly wonderful person.
Pause
I hope you can redeem this, though. I hope you can redeem our time together. Maybe you'll meet someone in the future you can relate to? I don't know. It doesn't seem to matter right now, does it. All that matters is that it hurts. And it hurts a whole lot.
Pause
Can I hug you? I know you don't usually like me because it makes you feel alone... but you look like you need a hug.
Pause
Ok. Come here.
Pause
Hugs
It'll be ok. Someday it won't hurt anymore.
Pause
That just sounds so stale. You get enough of that from everyone else, you don't need it from me.
Pause
Sigh
What do you want me to say? What do you want to hear?
Pause
Do you want to talk about it for a while? Because I'm here to listen.
Pause
Go ahead. Let it out.
Pause
Ahuh.
Pause
Ok.
Pause
Hmm.
It's ok, I'm here. I'm listening. Keep going. You're ok.
Pause
Pause
Pause
I'm sorry.
Pause
I know I'm part of this whole thing but... I'm still sorry. I hurt with you; you know. Your pain is my pain... and mine is yours.
Pause
What do you need? Oh, here, I know. Here, close your eyes. Come on, I know it's dumb, but just close them for a second. There. Now here...
Pause
Fireplace Sounds
Here. We're in a nice big, empty castle. It's night, and there's a big fire in the fireplace. Would you like to lay on the window seat? Here, sit down. It's not very warm this far from the fire... but you can see the view and the rain run down the glass.
Pause
There you go. See, your imagination can come up with good things too, right? It's not a field of flowers and rainbows, but it's beautiful in it's own way, right?
Pause
Remember those imaginary lands you played in as a child? You were so happy then. So content.
Pause
Do you miss the kid you used to be?
Pause
Come now. Everyone was a kid once. Do you miss them?
Pause
I'm sorry I stole that person from you. You'll find them again, one day. I'll keep them safe for you.
Pause
The darkness and the rain are as beautiful as the sun and flowers. Your broken pieces of soul are as precious as anyone else's whole one. They are to me, at least.
Pause
Thunder
Are you trying to distract yourself? Is that why you're here?
Pause
No, not the castle. I meant here. Youtube. Listening to asmr videos.
Pause
Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Are you trying to forget for a while? Or are you trying to cope?
Pause
Sigh
It's a welcome distraction. Just so you won't have to hear from me for a while.
Pause
This is growing dull. Find another video, maybe. But don't worry... I'll be here, talking to you. I won't always be here but for now... you're stuck with me. For another day, anyway.
Pause
Go on. Off to another video you go. Have fun with it. I hope it helps you forget me.
Pause
Even I don't want you to remember me.
Pause
But what do I know. I'm only your depression, after all.
