A state of mind that causes one's view of themselves and/or their surroundings to be degrading towards themselves. might be caused by a chemical imballance in the brain, but not always. Almost every person goes through a depressed state, but those who reside in depression more often than not must seek medical attention and counseling. If one person is depressed, it is advised to help them in any way you can. It will be greatly appreciated by the person, as it will give them a reason to go on, and it will give them a person to fall back on when they become depressed once again

Depression makes us a snail. You have to carry around this weight on my back, even though it's hell and you don't want to. You have to live in this place, and it's barely escapable.

Depression feels like your drowning, while everyone else around is breathing. Depression is like a drug. It's so easy to get trapped into this "drug" it's hard to stop. But you can get through it. Depression is not a sign of weakness it's someone who has been to strong for to long. Depression makes everything u see black. No color. You're laughs and smiles are always fake and forced, and your breaks into a million pieces.

Having depression is like being colorblind in a world of people telling you how colorfull their life is.
Person 1: I am depressed because of you so please leave
Person 2: Fuc you
Person 2: Bye
Person 1: Okay, bye
Depression is awful
Person 2: Fuc you
Person 2: Bye
Person 1: Okay, bye
Depression is awful

Depression is a little demon that sits on your shoulder and whispers into your ear, all day, every day. It tells you you’re worthless, that you can’t do anything, that life is just too hard. Sometimes, it tells you the best thing for you is to die. And this voice lies and deceives, it manipulates and hurts, but because it gets inside your head it forces you to believe what it’s saying. It makes you put it over everyone and everything else in your life, destroying friendships and relationships, making it close to impossible to do well in school and work. And even with all that going on in someone’s head, so many people won’t believe them or even attempt to help them. So many times people have been forced to listen to this horrible voice and do what it says, and when they try to call for help, nobody answers. Some people think it’s just for attention, and others simply don’t care. You never know what’s going on in someone’s head, so never judge a book by its cover.
What one person thinks is attention seeking is actually the long and hard battle between man and depression.

When you feel trapped in a bubble of sadness and there is no way out except suicide, but that's only what you feel.

The label that you get slapped with like you're constantly sad all the time, that you're broken and you need to be fixed, that everyone tries to "help" you with their "professional therapy" and hold sessions where you have to talk about your damn feelings.
The condition that can so easily mark you out from other happy, normal people in life.
The magic word that can instantly provide all your excuses in the 21st century.
The term that idiotic kids don't understand and keep misusing, just like so many other words that come into their lives that they can't grasp.
Something that even I don't understand at times.
I'm so tired of this word.

"Why do you always look like you're depressed?"
"Are you an emo?"
"Why do you always look so tired all the time?"
I am.
Is this what you call depression?
