Everyone experiences depression differently. The bigger problem is that people who do not suffer it view it differently than people who experience it. Depression is more than being sad and feeling blue. It can be life consuming. In this piece, I write about my personal experiences with depression and try my best to explain why it does the things it does to those who survive through it each and every day.
