Nobody talks about depressed Whumpees enough so here’s some prompts:
CWs: Mentions of depression (obviously), suicidal thoughts, mentions of self harm
- Whumpees who sit in bed for days at a time, wondering how their life would’ve been had they never been kidnapped.
- Whumpee telling Caretaker how badly they want to die to simply be free of the pain and the bad thoughts plaguing their mind while Caretaker silently tries to reassure them/ talk them down.
- Also Caretaker constantly keeping an eye on Whumpee just in case. Just in between fine line of being there for them in case they do something stupid but also giving them the space they need.
- Whumpee staying up at night with Caretaker and just sobbing to them for hours at a time, telling them everything they went through while Caretaker, who’s already tired enough, has to calm them down on top of that and reassure them for the 78th time that they’re not worthless.
- Whumpees who still hurt themselves the same way Whumper used to hurt them because they find comfort/ familiarity in it.
- Or alternatively, Whumpees who hurt themselves when they do something wrong because they’ve not used to going unpunished.
- Whumpee noticing how behind they are on everything (wether it’s schoolwork or even dynamics within their friend group) simply because of how long they’ve been shut off from the outside world/ everyone around them.
- Whumpee wondering if there’s even a future for them anymore since they missed out on so much of their life.
- Caretaker who helps depressed Whumpee with everything, bringing them food to their bed to make sure they don’t starve to death in it.
- Whumpee noticing how different everyone is (as opposed to before everything happened) and how they wish they could go back.
- Whumpee pushing everyone away because they’re scared to get close to anyone again.
- Whumpee taking out their anger on Caretaker, the person closest to them, being burnt out from having to act normal around everyone else.
Lol idk I’ll add more if I think of any
