A very serious mental illness/disorder. That is hard to get through but many people can do it. You just have to keep going. You can be having the best time of your life, and it will still be there. The guilt, the anxiety, the hate, the disgust. It is horrible and absolute hell to go through. I suffer from depression and I have for years. I have been diagnosed aswell. But they're is still people who dont believe or who use the word depression like it's just sadness. It's not a feeling!

Everyone around you is breathing so easily, and you sit alone gasping for air. No one bothers to check if you need help because why would you? why would anyone need help with all this air? And you keep on choking and gasping watching everyone breathing easily.

person 2:Why would there be? Life is so good!

A clinical condition caused by an imbalance in the levels of Serotonin in the brain.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter in the brain which is responsible for feelings of wellbeing and contentment. A decline in the level of Serotonin present in the brain causes severe feelings of anxiousness, lethargy, tiredness and a prolonged sadness.
Depression is a lasting condition, and is not to be confused with being an emo wanker who sits around slashing up for attention.

Emos are milking the whole depression card. They're ruining the seriousness of the issue, much like they ruined checkers, skating and punk music.
If you know of somebody that is legitimately depressed, tell them to seek medical help.

John used to love hanging out with his friends and playing baseball, but ever since his mother passed away, he sank into a depression and didn't enjoy these things anymore.

Something which someone goes through because of difficulties they are having in life.
People stereotype 'goths' of having depression. Not all 'goths' have depression. Anyone could have it. Don't stereotype.
