Depression

Depression is different than feeling depressed. In fact, the exact definition is this:
"a mental condition characterized by feelings of severe despondency and dejection, typically also with feelings of inadequacy and guilt, often accompanied by lack of energy and disturbance of appetite and sleep."
You can feel depressed and not have depression, and having a mood swing doesn't mean you have depression. Also, you don't necessarily have depression if you have all of these symptoms, it's better to check with a doctor.
Depression is a mental condition.

Depression

A long deep dark hole of sadness that you can never escape. And no one understands how you feel so you out on a fake smile and act like everything is ok. You pretend that your happy but your really on the verge of tears every minute. You think the world has turned on you and you feel you have no purpose to the universe. Like your in grain of sand out of 7 billion people and if you were gone no one would even notice.

Depression

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.

Depression means an overwhelming sadness which isn’t sadness at all

depression

depression is... how should i put it.. it is basically impossible to understand it unless you have been through it yourself. but depression is like getting stabbed, every time something bad happens you feel as though you have been stabbed, and as those stab wounds build up you no longer have the energy to even try to take care of them... eventually most of them get infected and begin slowly killing you, eventually everyone around you gives up trying to help for the stab wounds have become to infected anyway. there is no healing from that. and even if there is it take more effort then most are able to input.
