People think depression is about being sad. They think it's just when you feel down. It's not it's darkness that creeps over you and fills you. It drains all your emotions. It takes everything from you, and leaves you feeling hollow and numb. It's not sadness it's not anger, it's not hopelessness. Imagine waking up and there being no colour. Walking outside and feeling no wind. Eating a meal and tasting nothing. Holding someone and feeling alone at the same time when you're feeling depressed, it's not a bad mood, it's a numb empty, hollowness that seems to never leave. It's feeling alone in a room full of people. You feel like there is no hope left.
Depression is real. Don't miss the signs.
Depression is not being able to talk about your problems, while taking on everyone else just to hide your own.
