Depression isn't just 'feeling a bit sad'. It's waking up in the morning and counting down the hours until you can go back to bed. It's not having the strength to go to school, or shower or even socialise. People with depression aren't lazy, they're tired. They're tired of living. It's fucking exhausting. And when people say "why are you so depressed? You have a great life. Just be happy" it doesn't fucking work like that. It doesn't matter how much your family loves you, or how much money you have in your purse. Anyone can become depressed. For no reason whatsoever. Depression is a mental illness. It emotionally and physically changes you. It makes you hate school even when you used to love to learn. It makes you lie to your friends when they want to hang out with you because you simply cannot be bothered. It makes you so emotionless, yet feel everything so deeply. It makes you no longer see a reason to be here. To exist. Depression isn't just 'feeling a bit sad'. It's going to sleep at night and hoping this time you don't wake up.
