Challenge
I wanna meet the gnarled, twisted bits of you.
I've been dealing with my depression by personifying it (like in "a conversation"). I'm kinda obsessed with the idea of making something more "alive," giving it more power almost, to make it easier to deal with. If you were to give them character or a face or a body, what would your mental illness/troubles/dark emotions be like? How would you interact with them? What would they do on a day-to-day basis? Written however you like, no limitations. Please tag me @wabisabi.

The trapped, the weak, and the ruler
Three girls sit in my mind.
The first is giddy and bubbly. She wants move, do things, have fun. I'll call her ADHD. The other two have built a cage for her, for if she goes too far. This happens often. She is used to her cage, but she wishs she could come out and create things with me.
The second girl is Logic, always hard at work. She is pedantic, always seeking new information. Unfourtunetly, she is weak and easily manipulated by the third to become Anxity. Logis and Anxity are the same, yet fundmentally different.
The third girl is in charge. Her name is Depression, and she rules with an iron fist. She kept ADHD inside her cage for years on end, only finally letting her come out in 6th grade. I don't want to dwell on her.
