People 
think depression is sadness. People 
think depression is crying. People think 
depression is dressing in black. But people 
are wrong. Depression is the constant 
feeling of being numb. Being numb to 
emotions, being numb to lie. You wake up 
in the morning just to go back to bed again. 
Days aren't really days; they are just 
annoying obstacles that need to be faced. 
And how do you face them? Through 
medication, through drinking, through 
smoking, through drugs, through cutting. 
When you're depressed, you grap onto 
anything that can get you through the day. 
That's what depression is, not sadness or 
tears, it's the overwhelming sense of 
numbness and the desire for anything that 
can help you make it from one day to the 
next.
