I am depression. I’m the emptiness you feel at 2am. The tears with no meaning. The pain when you smile. I don’t come alone. I bring my closest friends. We are the scars that cover your body. The voice you describe. But soon learn to trust. I am the only thing you will feel

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation. Depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness and loneliness there’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest noblest and best things you will ever do.
