an ongoing battle

I scratch myself. Not everyday but it becomes frequent when I'm stressed. Lately it's been getting worse due to stress and my inability to cope with negative emotions. For most of this year I've struggled with depression. It comes and it goes but it's still there. And it's been hard but it's an ongoing battle. For the first time in a while I felt something. It's been foreign for a while but today it payed me a visit; hope.
