Depression, here we go again. I feel everybody has been depressed at one point in their lives. Truth be told, I used to be in denial about depression. I guess it was because of the way most people spoke about it, always linking depression to having suicidal thoughts and I thought that was like the standard. If you haven't had suicidal thoughts yet then you haven't been depressed, and I haven't had suicidal thoughts so I believed I haven't ever been depressed.
But that wasn't the case, depression goes beyond suicidal thoughts. You can be depressed AND NOT have suicidal thoughts. The feeling of being tired of life, the sudden mood swing that you just can't explain but you can't shake it off either, these are all "depressovibes". It is so very broad, I can't begin to try to write all about it in these next few poems but I'd be writing about my struggles with depression and the struggles I've noticed in others around me that were battling with depression. And also, those I've heard of that gave in to depression and never made it out.
I understand that this can a trigger to some and I'd advise that it's probably best to skip this part if it will be a trigger for you. If you do choose to continue, I hope you will be able to relate with these words of mine and give your take on them through the comments section and also, please, don't forget to vote. Thank you.
