Okay so you know how people say that drowning is the most painful way to die?
Well actually drowning is only painful is you fight it
Once you accept it and just take a breath allowing the water to fill your lungs the pain goes away and it's peaceful despite the fact that your dying
I think depression is much like drowning in that way
We try to fight and we struggle and it's so painful and we do everything in our power to stop ourselves from drowning
The panic sets in as we can't breathe trying our best to claw our way to the surface longing for a breath of air as our lungs start to burn
After a while you have to accept the despair and the pain and the suffering and you take a breath and all of a sudden it's kind of peaceful
And all the chaos and hurt goes away and for a moment all is calm
So yes depression is like drowning in a way
It can be peaceful even though it's killing you
