This is a page from the book of my life, retold in horseform. Minus the
child slavehelpful assistant.There really isn’t any other way to describe it, is there? Everything is just so exhausting, everything makes you feel world weary...

that was entirely the aim. thanks for sharing :)
This... is so relatable, and so sweet to read. Wow I did not expect to see this in my feed but I'm so glad I did.
Loved this. Quick question, though: why is it AU?

I'm not up to date on the show, so I covered my bases on the whole "school graduation."
CONCERN. INTENSIFIES.
Do I know that feeling.
I like this... Good job.
Well, this was a damned fine read. And yeah, a bit of a peek into my own life too.
Also, holy shit are you all right?!
A story we can all relate to.
We all hit our highs and lows sometimes, and some of us have it worse on the latter than others for one reason or another. Sometimes... The bad can get to be too much, and something bad happens. Sometimes we just contemplate the things we do during the bad times, and we wonder if it means anything at all in the grander scheme.
But then, there's always something to keep going for, even if you can't see it. Something is always there, waiting just over the hill or around the bend, only you can't see it for how far you've fallen down. That's when you need someone to come along, take you by the hand or arm, or shoulder your weight and burden with you, and guide you on until you can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
This was touching to read, and a bit of an eye-opener as well. This same idea has struck me at times, and I myself have wondered if anything any one person does matters. The answer is a loud, resounding "YES", and to think otherwise is to let the despair win and steal another precious star from the skies. you, friend, are an excellent writer. Don't stop, whatever you do, and here's to hoping your situation turns around soon. Remember: Happiness can be found in the darkest of times...if you only remember to look for the light.
This feels like me quiet often......But it's written well, and I can take it seriously.
I like this a lot. Made me tear up a bit. Tahnk you.
Nice how brief the bit about medication is. Makes it come off as very natural.
the sad part is is this is a very realisitic portrayal of the day in the life of someone suffering from depresion
not all of them have someone like spike to pull them out of a tailspin like that...
A crime! We need Pinkie on the scene!
Well then, you just need to have a wizard or witch to vanish you.
A hundred points to the house of whoever gets this reference.
Take note: This sentence is the number one sign of having a problem.
Wow, Twilight. That's... sad. I can sort of understand: I have, sometimes, my moments of gloom where I just hate the world, some part of me, and most everything else.
Hope you get better.
That bad, huh?
While I don't know exactly what it is you do, Twilight, I know that it isn't meaningless, even if it does seem that way to yourself. A mare like yourself can't just do meaningless things, but great things, that's what you can do.
I like that ending. A sentence that would usually be so nondescript and unremarkable, but in this story and context it has that sort of shine to it, that feeling you want to describe but can't find the words for (rather like me right now).
Beautiful.
Anyway, I'd just like to make a quick quote.
"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." – Dumbledore
It might help, it might not, but just wanted to say it. Might be useful, some time in the future.
"Mutters" is in present tense for some reason.
Also, "and" should be "an".
Missing an "a".
P.S. Sorry for clogging the comment section with three comments. I have a quirk that someone makes me divide comments.

thanks, fixed these
This is pretty violent, but it seems relevant

Well... I'm in that situation where I just need one bad thing to happen so I snap like a twig in a dry Autumn. Funny enough, I had multiple moments where I just should've snapped but didn't.
Relatable on so many levels. I'm glad Spike is there to help balance her out.
Too real.
Hm...
Its good to have someone you care about bring you back up if you're in a stupor. Great story.

I think part of the problem is that we can't all relate. I don't think I can. This feeling that is described here, it sounds to me like depression. Something I luckily never suffered from and I doubt ever will. South Park did an episode about the subject and portrayed it as everything looking, sounding and tasting like sh*t.
In a world where that is the case, you can sorta imagine there is no point in getting up in the morning. There is no reason to, nothing in the world gives you a reason. As lowbrow as it was, I still feel that is the closest I have gotten to understanding depression. But the feeling itself? I don't think you can understand that unless you have experienced it. Which also makes it hard to know how to help I imagine. A listening ear is easily given, but is that enough? What other ways are there to help? What should you and what shouldn't you do? For both your sake and the sake of the one suffering from depression?
Twilight can always rely on Spike to pick her up. We can only hope to have a friend like that, or to be a friend like that in our lives

The best way to describe depression is basically everything has "but why" tacked on the end.
