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.

Get the Post-bridem depressionmug. when someone says they're depressed, without actual evidence or diagnose to back that claim up. mostly suffered by 13-14 year olds who listen to Billy Eilish. even though someone does not have a diagnosis, that does not mean everything is alright. if they have no problems at all than it is fake depressed. semi depressed is more a way of saying that a person has problems, but not actual depression
Linda: omg Billy Eilish's music is so sad! i'm depressed now because i don't have any other hobby's due to my insecurity and so i only listen to sad music.
Bert: no Linda, your just semi depressed, come and sit down to talk if you want anything out.
Bert: no Linda, your just semi depressed, come and sit down to talk if you want anything out.

Get the semi depressedmug. Depression: the state of feeling everything at once, or nothing at all. The feeling of drowning without water. Feeling completely helpless. Being able to pretend to be happy, and not have anyone realise what your actually going through.
