When your entire world seems black and white. Certain people may alter that, colors may appear in a certain place or with your best friend. You are almost numb, and your happiness is pretend, vague, or a bit of both. A lot of people are afraid to get help because they don't know a life without it. In worst cases they've never or can't remember a life without it. You are often constantly exhausted even when you are not even close to sleep deprived. It's hard to do 'easy' things. There is a major lack of physical and mental motivation to wake up, leave the house, do homework, and other things. Combining depression with anxiety makes your life a living hell. The struggle to find someone who understands you is huge. Loneliness overcomes yourself and you fake feeling to please others. You pretend you don't think about killing yourself. You pretend you don't have several years worth of self harm scars on your arms. You pretend you don't think that the world would be way better without you. People underestimate people with depression. They are sensitive badasses.
My depression has gotten worse over the past year.
She had depression and no one knew or could help her.

Ok. Imagine this. You're in a group of people that are receiving balloons. Everyone is handed a dozen balloons, but when they reach you, you hold out your hand expecting balloons and are handed a bag of sharp rocks. People take notice, but instead of removing the rocks, some of them make them look nice or add smooth ones while others tell you that at least you're safe on the ground. It doesn't help. That's depression.
Depressed person: I can't take it anymore! Life is so horrible!
"Happy" person: You don't look like you have depression. At least you have nice clothes. Mine are ugly brown.

Depression is like a hole opening up beneath you. By the time you realize that it’s there, you can’t get out on your own. Two things could happen: Either someone hears your calls for help and saves you or it gets to a point where you’ve fallen to the bottom, too deep for anything to help you. If it gets to that point, you will most likely start to cope in unhealthy ways such as self-harm, drinking alcohol, or consuming drugs. Depression is not something that you can escape on your own; you don’t just wake up one day and discover it’s gone. People tell you to snap out of it, but you honestly can’t. The worst part is that you don’t know why you started to feel this way or if it’ll get better. You don’t know how to escape the feeling. A lot of times, teenagers will claim that they’re depressed for attention. That isn’t okay. You can typically tell when someone’s just seeking attention instead of being actually depressed. If you’re actually depressed, you don’t tell the entire world. You actually have to really trust someone to even suggest that you might have depression and you have your walls built up so high that when you find the one person who can make them come crashing down, you’ll try to push them away. If someone’s just looking for attention, they’ll tell the entire world all about how “depressed” they are. The only thing that can save someone once they are depressed is a person to stick with them every step of the way on the long road to happiness.
A poem I wrote about depression called The Darkness Inside:
The sadness that hides deep inside is my enemy.
All the shadows take over every happy memory.
My soul is bruised and battered,
And whatever I do, it doesn't seem to matter.
It controls every second, every thought, and every breath I take.
I can’t love because I don’t want my heart to break.
Fighting against my demons in a never ending battle,
The walls I’ve put up are starting to rattle.
Sadness like ink
I fall and I sink
Into the abyss of my thoughts.
I’m broken and lost,
And the light starts to flicker
When I look at old pictures
Of what it was like
Before midnight striked.
Believing is hard when your faith is weak.
I hope someday I’ll find the happiness I seek.
Someday I’ll wake up and I’ll remember I tried,
But I’ll realize I can’t fight the darkness inside.
The sadness that hides deep inside is my enemy.
All the shadows take over every happy memory.
My soul is bruised and battered,
And whatever I do, it doesn't seem to matter.
It controls every second, every thought, and every breath I take.
I can’t love because I don’t want my heart to break.
Fighting against my demons in a never ending battle,
The walls I’ve put up are starting to rattle.
Sadness like ink
I fall and I sink
Into the abyss of my thoughts.
I’m broken and lost,
And the light starts to flicker
When I look at old pictures
Of what it was like
Before midnight striked.
Believing is hard when your faith is weak.
I hope someday I’ll find the happiness I seek.
Someday I’ll wake up and I’ll remember I tried,
But I’ll realize I can’t fight the darkness inside.

Hell. A feeling of numbness and pain. You can feel intense sadness but you are too numb to feel it, you are so sad that you can’t even feel it. You are drowning and people walk past and ignore you. You feel everything but you feel nothing at the same time. You just want to give up you never want to wake up. You feel like your dead inside so you try and feel something either through drugs, self harm, alcohol or anything else that can take the pain away for even a second. But then you feel like nobody cares so you don’t want help. Depression is like a war, you either win or die trying. You know society won’t accept you so you don’t bother with trying to fit in.
Hi how are you?
I’m fine (I’m depressed)
Depression means an overwhelming sadness which isn’t sadness at all

It feels like no one understands you..you feel like your not happy with yourself & others. You try to make other people happy b it sometimes it doesn’t work. On the outside you seem really happy, but on the i aside it’s a whole different story. People think they care but they don’t. You try not going anywhere or don’t try anything anymore. You also do t ever want to wake up. You always put yourself down & try to hurt yourself.
