No Ship to Sail

This story will not sit right with everypony.

It's dark. Not dark in a "oh gross, she cut up Dashie and put her in a cake!" way, but dark in a "hold a mirror to your soul and see the monster that lives within" type of wickedness.

Depression and mental illness are very, very real subjects, and, as Americans, we dodge them. Every day.

Facing one's demons is something no one but the pony fighting that battle can do, but you don't have to do it alone. Friends and family WILL stand by you.

In the US, the Suicide Hotline number is 1 (800) 273-8255.

A list of international suicide hotline numbers can be found here.

You are not alone.

I am with you. I am one of the broken ones. And we will heal together.
