Depression is not a mental illness
Depression is a feeling
Depression is a weight
Depression is an emotion strong enough to break up
Depression is not a joke
It should never be treated lightly
It should never be used to bully
Being depressed isn't being ill
It's being hopeless
It's feeling hopeless
It's feeling lonelier than the lone candy in the bottom of your halloween bag
It's feeling hopeless like trying to win an argument with an idiot
It's feeling like everyone is better off without you
Like everything would be better if you're gone
Like the only way to make the pain go away is to die
Depression is feeling tired
It's when you lose the will to live
To keep fighting
To trust
To love
You lose the will to do anything
Or even feel anything
Depression is feeling nothing and everything at the same time
It's when you feel like your chest is an empty atrium where your heart should be
It's when your mind is busier than a New York street because of over thinking
Depression is when you feel worthless
It's when you feel you're nothing but a waste of space
It's when you feel alone and lonely and sad and hurt and empty
Depression is not a joke
Please
Take it, take us, seriously
We are hurting
We are not okay
We are not acting
We don't need your pity
Sometimes we need advice
But what we really need
Is love and support
And really, just someone to listen to our ranting without interrupting
Without judging
Without wanting to leave
Please be what I need
I don't need much. Just you.
