Monologues on Depression

Someone was looking for scripts about depression. She said, "I want to get people thinking that depression isn't just an emotion which can be changed to just like clicking your fingers. I want to make it to show how it hurts people through their life how they hid the pain but inside they're dying. how people can say they understand but they don't and no one else feels the way they do."


Here some monologues I've written that talk about this:

"UNBROKEN"

***

You found me, cast aside, lost and broken. You searched through the rubble to find the severed pieces of my life, and slowly fit them back together again. 

Before you, I felt like I was dying. The panic consumed me and squeezed the life from my heart. But I didn’t care. When we are weighed down by the torture of hate, we don’t fear death. There was nothing to live for… until I met you.

You rebuilt me and fixed what was broken. You made me better and pieced me back together in new ways that improved me. With the right parts, I was reborn... and life felt real... and right for the first time.
