Author's note: This is going to be a bunch of one-shots about the turtles having some sort of depression. Then there will another one-shot after it with them being comforted. I'm not sure how exactly this is going to work out but I'll try. I don't know of all depressions that are out there but I'm just going to do some random things. Leo will probably have two depressed one-shots because there's so much to write about for him. I don't own T.M.N.T at all.

Leo (blaming himself for splinters death)-

Leo blames himself for everything bad that happens to his family. He feels like it's his fault most of the time with him being leader and all.

It's hard to keep going through the days all happy like his little brother always is. He wishes he could be optimistic like Mikey he really does but he can't.

It's all his fault that Splinter died he would tell himself wanting to take the blame. He knew he should have known they were being led into a trap if they split up.

If he would have said something maybe he could have prevented it. They still would have had a father, Karai would have been able to get to know her real father more.

Instead he didn't and now it's his entire fault that they are orphans. They were never going to see him again or even hear his voice.

His heart broke when Mikey cried out Papa when holding their fathers cold lifeless hand in his own.

Raph had seen it happen on the roof and he wishes that he would have been up there instead of Raph to carry the burden instead.

He doesn't know what to do anymore, he doesn't feel ready to be the 'father' of the family yet but he has to.

He has got to look out for his family no matter what he's feeling. He doesn't care if he's feeling so upset about something; he needs to be there for his family.

They're the ones that need to be looked after not him. He's fine; he's not going to break down. He's not going to cry, he'll do that when he's feeling better and Shredder is gone for good.

It will all turn out okay, hopefully….

Author's note: How was that, probably not that great. Please R&R. I'll have another chapter soon I hope.
