Depression is a mental illness you can't be deppresed for like 2 days. Depression is not sadness. Sadness is when you feel sad depression is when you feel nothing. Depression is NOT something to joke about.
Sadness:
"I'm so depressed that I couldn't buy that chocolate bar!"
"You're sad not depressed."
Depression:
"I feel worthless and like everyone hates me. :'("
"So you have depression :'/"
"I'm so depressed that I couldn't buy that chocolate bar!"

Depression is when you get super sad and become quiet. You stop talking to people and think poorly of yourself. Depression is usually caused by being treated poorly such as bullying. Depression might make you cry a lot, cut, starve yourself and not want to do anything.

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

My wife's depression is really interfering with our marriage, I just want to rip out the depression from inside of her, shake it and scream "LEAVE HER ALONE!"

Depression is a word commonly associated with emotions that encourage it. Commonly, depression is used to describe the aftermath or late symptom of something, like death in the family. For some reason, depression induces more of what the depression came from in the first place. In example, if someone developed depression from guilt, chances are depression will make them feel more guilty than they were before.
Assume that you got someone fired from a job they really needed. At first, you'd just feel guilty. Over time it may heal up, but for some reason, at some point or another something will rear the guilt back up. Only the guilt will have gained enough strength to induce depression as a resulting symptom to guilt.

An terrible mental illness. Sadly it's also used in an normal way, like: I'm depressed we have history now', used by many girls at my school. They aren't depressed, they are just annoying and hurtful to people who have REALLY suffered depression. If you're depressed, you aren't that because of a lesson you have twice in a week, it's way and way more complicated. When you are using lines like 'I have a depression now because I couldn't sleep a long time', well, you won't remember that when you're 40. If you're really depressed, then the doctors can even SEE it under a narcose or something (when you're depressed you have a missing part of your brain and you'll always miss that part. It's just.... Gone.).
Lesson: Never. Never ever ever use a mental illness like depression to describe your feeling.
Lesson: Never. Never ever ever use a mental illness like depression to describe your feeling.
Some lines from my classmates:
Saying:
'I'm depressed we have history now'
'I have a depression-day, I have to wait one hour for the bus'
Thinking:
Booh it's so bad.
Real depressed people:
Talking:
'I don't wanna talk about whatever. Leave me alone.'
Thinking:
Just let me alone. I feel like exploding and empty the same time, let me be...
I'm sorry if you find these examples horrible, but I can't imagine how those girls think and what depressed people think.
