"Fortunately, Ponyville is more accepting to ponies like us. That is why I moved here in the first place, " AJ said.

AJ and Imagination were sitting at a table in the dining room eating breakfast, which Imagination made. Imagination had made eggs with potatoes which was a family recipe. The German dish that ran in her family was absolutely delectable and delicious. As they gobbled up their breakfast, Imagination and AJ participated in a conversation with one another.


“So how are you feeling today? Perhaps, you feel better with me to support you,” AJ hopefully said with a tiny bit of curiosity.

“I guess I am doing a little better, but I still have those suicidal and self-harming thoughts. Um… they kind of happen quite a lot actually. These thoughts happen…every second, every… every… every day… non-stop… all the time. My miserable existence in this world hasn’t ended yet. Those… those… thoughts… I just can… not… not stop them.

It is just… just… they keep on coming like an invasive animal or plant species. I do feel a tiny bit better and a little bit more worthwhile to the world and to other ponies, now that I have a friend… I have a friend like you. Even the nurse and doctors that worked with me might become friends with me.

You have helped me along this large, taunting, long road through my depression, which seems endless at the moment. But this depression is too much for me to bare still. My body, my mind and soul ache with extricating, threatening, infinite pain that can’t be described through my words alone. I might try to describe them to you, but even the worst, most terrible, words known to pony can’t accurately portray or paint the deep, tragic emotions I feel right now,” Imagination sadly said and then sighed.

“I am glad that you are feeling a little bit better, but we need to take you to a special doctor that can help you. A type of doctor that’s specialty is working on the mind. This doctor in particular is a psychologist and physiatrist. You probably know him from his Youtube Series where he helps patients with their life problems. (Of course the patients gave him permission to do this first.)

I was even a part of that series called AMWDW.I set up an appointment with Dr. Wolf about your problems. Dr. Wolf will give you some therapy and prescribe some medicine that will help with the depression. He is a really comforting guy that just wants to help others.  Dr. Wolf is actually a wolf too! How do you feel about this," AJ said.

"I... actually feel okay about this. I feel good about getting the treatment I needed for so so so so many years now! I might even be able to function like a normal pony would after this!  It is going to be such a relief off of my chest. I am finally going to be at the very least, a tiny bit happier. I had to struggle for so long! 

I have had these negative emotions nearly my whole life! I can't believe it! Thank you. Thank you AJ. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to feel better bro. I can't believe that I keep contemplating taking my own life away," Imagination said. 

" I scheduled the appointment with Dr. Wolf a few days ago. The day that you were in the hospital actually, if you want an exact date. It was 3/10/2018 at six thirty one when I scheduled it! You can see it in my recent call history, if you would like to. How I remembered that is beyond me," AJ said. 

"Okay, then that is all fine and dandy. When you scheduled the appointment doesn't concern me right now. When is the appointment taking place and where? I know Dr. Wolf from his Youtube Series, but I do not know his office location. I never thought to search for it, since I was so far away from Ponyville, " Imagination said. 

"Oh sorry I forgot to let you know that information. My bad, oops, I am really really sorry about that! The appointment with Dr. Wolf is at five thirty pm today. As far as location goes, you don't need to know, since I will be taking you there myself. I know where it is by heart," AJ said.

"Oh! That is splendid! Once that appointment comes around, I can add a bandage to my wound and start healing, metaphorically speaking, " Imagination said.

"Also remember to be honest with Dr.Wolf. The only way to overcome your depression, is to be honest and open about those feelings you have about this, "AJ said.

"Okay, I will be open and honest about my feelings. I know you are probably tired of me saying this, but thank you so much big bro," Imagination said.
