Depression Scale

When you suffer from MDD (depression), some days are better than others. You may feel fine one day, but the next day you'll feel like you want to die.

The following is a "scale" of how a depressed person's days can go. To make this less confusing, the person will be referred to as "Bob."
The Depression Scale

LEVEL ZERO: Good days

Bob exhibits absolutely no symptoms of depression, and may even appear quite happy.

LEVEL ONE: Standard days

Bob will appear fine on the outside, but on the inside he feels gloomy and disinterested. Don't expect him to tell you about it, though.

LEVEL TWO: Bad days

Things haven't been going well for Bob. Unlike level one where he just feels down, level two depression is where he actually has a reason to feel the way they does. He will most likely want to be alone, and will deflect all forms of conversation.

LEVEL THREE: Mental Breakdown

Bob has had an absolutely awful day and cannot suppress how he feels any longer. He'll tell just about anyone who's willing to lend an ear, and will probably start sobbing halfway through.

LEVEL FOUR: Self-harm

Bob feels so numb inside, he has resorted to physically hurting himself in order to feel something, anything. He doesn't care how dangerous it is for his health; he stopped caring about himself a long time ago.

LEVEL FIVE: Ending it all

Bob is done. He's been pushed around and bullied enough by the universe, and has decided that the only option left is to take his own life.

Depression

It was always something more. They aren’t “just” sad. Talk to them before it’s too late.
Person 1: Honey, you don’t have depression. I feel sad sometimes, too. Don’t be so dramatic and stop begging for attention, you seem desperate.

Person 2: Thanks, mom. I felt comfortable enough to speak about my rapidly diminishing mental health and you turned it against me. Wow, by depression is cured! I am no longer depressed.

Depression

Not a thing caused by listening to Billie Eilish. It's a mental desease often cause by school, loneliness and social anxiety in some case, some toxic families, and this little shit wants you do die.
Me: Shows visible signs of depression.
My mom: Is that laziness?
