Depression is something people think they know I am here to prove whatever you believe depression is your probably wrong
It is said to believe depression is caused by bullying that is not for all cases and people believe depression is just sadness but its not and to prove this I went on a website were people with depression explained how it felt to them .
1. Depression is seeing no future, and no answer for any of the problems in your life.
2. When you have depression, nothing is enjoyable. Nothing can make you smile.
3. It feels like you're a ghost ... not a part of the real world.
4. It's like drowning ... except you can see everyone around you breathing.
5. Depression is a dark, inescapable place. It's like being locked in a room with no light, windows or door. It's so dark you can't even see your hands in front of your face let alone find a way out.
6. Slipping into depression feels like falling down a dark bottomless shaft, wondering if and when your fall will ever be caught. And as you look back to where you fell from--which is where you know you need to get back to--you can see it receding further into the distance, the proverbial light becoming dimmer and dimmer, while the shaft into which you are falling becomes deeper, darker, and all the more enveloping.
7. Depression to me is like having your mind replaced by another one that makes me feel worthless and numb to life--even to my own husband and son. It deprives me of feeling anything other than a sense of perpetual sadness, never quite knowing the source of it but knowing that feeling well. Depression has stolen my confidence and now I no longer feel I am worthy of anyone's love. Depression calls me names and makes me have awful thoughts, and there have been times when depression has won and I've taken an overdose.
8. Standing underneath a floor of glass, screaming and banging on it trying to get the attention of the rest of the world going about their lives without you. The problem is no-one can hear you or even knows you're trapped there.
9. Depression is a state in which nothing tastes, smells, or feels right and you are unable to think or make decisions--yet you still have to carry on doing all those things. And so much of the time you just don't have the energy or the desire. But you still carry on anyway.
10. The belief that you just don't matter.
11. Like the death eaters in Harry Potter have caught you and sucked all the goodness from you.
12. Being depressed sometimes feels like tunnel vision--regardless of anything going on in your life, you can feel miserable and overwhelmed for no reason at all.
13. Nothingness.
14. Cancer of the soul.
15. Torture.
16. It's just like being inside a wheel that's spinning and spinning and you don't know when it's going to stop.
17. Living in fog all the time--a world without color or laughter.
18. Like living in a dark tunnel with no light at the end, and no air to breathe no matter how deep a breath you take.
19. Feeling completely alone--even if you're surrounded by people.
20. Complete and utter hopelessness.
21. Like mourning the death of someone you once loved--you. When you look in the mirror you see only dead eyes. There is no spark. No joy. No hope. You wonder how you will manage to exist another day.
22. Trying to keep your head above water when it's up to your nose. And getting deeper. And you can't swim
Depression is an illness that many fight weather it be kids or adults you can have it for all of your life or for a few days depression comes and gos when it wishes a person has no choice when it comes to being depressed no matter how hard they try to be happy it may not work and its not because they aren't trying its because they cant stop it it trajes time and support to get rid of depression and sometimes it doesn't go away its still there in the back of your mind
