Spike has always felt like an outsider in his own group of friends. And after learning what happened to Stygian, Spike realizes how dangerous he could be to his friends in the future. This leads him down a very dark thought spiral: he should kill himself before he ever even has the chance of hurting anyone else.

Criticism of “Just a Thought” by Chinchillax’s inner critics:

What is WRONG with you!?
—My conscious

You really shouldn’t put your mental health problems on parade for everyone to see.
—My anxiety

You really should learn to write someday.
—My inner editor

I'm another face in the crowd. Please. Somepony. Say something. Tell me I'm good. Tell me I'm not stuck in the background. Tell me I matter.

My name is Melody Breeze and I just want somepony to tell me it's be going to be alright.

A spin-off oneshot of my story, "What She Doesn't See". Bullied at school and close to invisible at home, Fluttershy felt hollow and heavy. Social anxiety and depression tie her down until her turmoil of emotions become too much to bear. It comes down to Rainbow Dash, the vivid and bold amaryllis of Fluttershy's life, having to show her that she isn't alone and that you need rain to make a rainbow. A Flutterdash shipfic.

Warning: contains attempted suicide, depression and depression symptoms

Applejack and Rainbow Dash spend a night on Sweet Apple Acres. In the darkness, they share a conversation.

(Sex tag is for very light implications.)

Black Paint starts relapsing into depression for the first time in several years, restarting his old habit of cutting and even seriously contemplating suicide. After failing to go through with an attempt, he accidentally gives Flutttershy his suicide note at her birthday party. When she confronts him about it, she gets him to open up about his thoughts and find another way to cope with the pain.

This story is a sequel to Scars

*Note, the suicide/self harm tag is only there just to be safe. I can't say any more without spoiling a huge part of the story.

*Note #2, This story is prewritten and will be uploaded bi-weekly.

After returning to Twilight's castle, Tempest is eager to find her place among ponykind. However, most ponies still only see her as the villainous commander of the Storm King. Despite Twilight's best efforts, Tempest just doesn't feel like she belongs with the rest of Equestria.

Takes place the day after Scars. If you haven't read that story, I implore you to please read it first. A lot of what happens in the first couple chapters of this story are going to reflect on that story, and you won't really understand what's going on too well or why Tempest's mindset is the way that it is throughout this story unless you read that story first.

Edited by my buddy AJ, as always.

Episode tag/companion to "Discordant Harmony". Written in second person for some inexplicable reason. In the course of trying to make sure Fluttershy is impressed by his tea party, Discord discovers some things. Some of them are good things. Some of them are very much not.

Fluttershy has been in a depressive state and hasn't been seen for the past few days. When a tramatic event occurs it will take all the friendship and comfort Twilight and her friends can muster to save Fluttershy from becoming an empty shell, or worse....

I am the original author of this story. This is the first fanfic I've ever written and I hope you guys enjoy it!

Comments below are greatly appreciated. I'd also like to hear about your favorite/least favorite parts in the story. If you have to ask, no I wasn't depressed when I wrote this. This was made in remembrace of my friend Nathan Maddox who commited suicide on February 12th, 2012. He shall never be forgotten.

Special thanks to MaliciousBadger on Deviant Art for his superior help in the editing process. He has helped me bring out the depth of my story into character.

Special thanks to Regidar on Deviant Art for first publishing it on FIMFiction. I have recieved so many comments that I felt the need to just post it myself.

Sometimes, when you've lost so much, when everything you do seems to come out wrong, and when you don't feel like anything but a failure, it can seem like there is no other option but to give up.

But when one pony feels so lost, so inconsolable, so forlorn, that she makes a life-changing decision that almost leaves her shattered forever, it is up to her friends to bring her back.

When you lose something that you can't replace, when you love someone but it goes to waste, and when the tears come streaming down your face, is there anyone who you can turn to...

...to fix you?

Everyone has depression, often it is the quiet one, the one that smile and do anything to make other happy. They get on a mask and learn to hide it, Applejack is one of those ponies that have learned about the mask of happiness. She hardly show her true self, she hide her real self. Nopony know about this, not even her family. And because of that, she don't get the help she need, the help she is in dying need of. But nopony is there, nopony is there to help her. They go on with their life, not noticing her sadness.
