Drug Facts: Escaping Reality

Drug Facts
------------------------------------------------------
Active Ingredient      Purpose
Melatonin……………….Escaping reality
------------------------------------------------------
Uses temporarily relieves the user from the excessive daily struggles of existing. Additional benefits and side effects include: 
•learning that it’s better to be unconscious than sad  •quieting the voices telling you to cover your stomach or stop laughing so loud or skip another meal or chew your already torn up fingers apart even more  •allowing you to envelop yourself in a soft blanket and find comfort in the closest thing you’ll get to a warm embrace 
------------------------------------------------------
Warnings 
Using this product may increase the risk or continuation of unhealthy habits such as procrastination, excessive isolation, loss of social skills, distancing from friends and family, and still feeling more tired than ever and having no energy to properly care for yourself. You may wish to sleep all the time rather than work on what is troubling you, which can lead towards the decline of your mental health. Don’t ask your friends if this product is right for you because it’s not. Just know that it will trick you into thinking you’re okay and let’s admit it, that’s all that really matters. 
------------------------------------------------------
Directions 
If you’re even considering using this product, you already know. Take it when you feel the world crashing down on you, take it when you need an escape from consciousness, take it when you’re tired, and take it when you’re tired of being tired. The Internet calls it a “depression nap”, but we don’t use that word around here. What you’ve been diagnosed with in the past means nothing; your psychiatrist couldn’t have been able to tell you had clinical depression after giving you a series of random math equations with a few “do you like yourself?” questions thrown in there. What we know is that sleep is an escape and you can use it to your advantage. Why be sad when you could be asleep? Right? 
------------------------------------------------------
Inactive Ingredients 
Dreams. We can’t control the dreams. You will probably continue to have graphic nightmares of your family dying and they will inevitably stay etched in your mind for weeks. None of it actually matters; it's just the little dream team up there finding ways to entertain you with mini horror movies while you're busy trying to stop existing for a while.

Wow. So much reality in your words. I suffered depression for years (still do a bit). Wow. Great piece of writing!
