Pinkie's used to bad days. She's had an awful lot of them since moving to Ponyville six months ago. She's struggled with being her normal, happy self ever since.

But her life becomes a special kind of hell when Pinkamena drops by for a visit. Which, of course, she's been doing increasingly often of late.

And today, if the feeling in Pinkie's gut is any indication, Pinkamena's already on her way.

A story about mental health and depression.

Rated Teen for heavy subject matter, as well as some mild profanity.
CW: depression, loneliness, vague allusions to suicide. I purposely tried to shy away from anything too heavy.

Special thanks to Krack-Fic Kai for reading an early draft! Your feedback helped a lot

Written as an entry for FoME's A Most Delightful Ponidox contest. The premise is a slight subversion of the prompt, but FoME has approved it

Cover constructed of vectors by Hokutto and... I'm not sure, actually. Found Pinkamena unattributed on an image-sharing site, and I can't find her on Derpi. If you have more info, please let me know!
