A sickness that lots of people have no idea what it feels like; depression will get you to think in different ways than you're used to. Friends dissappear and nobody seems to care. Having depression is like being colorblind, and everyone keeps telling you how beautiful and colorful the world is. Yes, it might be there, it mighy be pretty, but we can't see it. We feel like we never will. Contrary to popular belief, depression isn't simply cured by smiling or laughing. A glimpse of color isn't enough to fix any of this damage. A lot of people will confuse depression with a call for attention, which is a stereotype, but 99% of the time not the case. If someone confides in you, let them know they'll be okay and you'll be there for them. They don't need to be treated different just because they're depressed. A lot of us are still normal and it's not a contagious disease. Prolonged contact with a depressed person might have an affect, but it is unlikely that they'll turn you into a fully depressed person.

Get the Depressionmug. The feeling when nobody appears to care for your existence. So you just become completely insensitive and numb to everything. Nobody cares.
There is no way do describe depression, it's different for everyone. But there are only two ways out of it.

Get the Depressionmug. it’s a lot like love. everyone around you seems to be under it’s spell. it looks better than it is. the way people describe it never makes sense to people who don’t have it. not everyone who has it has it in the same way. it varies for everyone. people like to brag and say they have it when they really have no idea what it even is. and of course it’s thrown around way too lightly in conversation.
“dude my depression is really fucking me up this month”
“ah that sad movie gives me depression!”
“no you’re just sad. don’t throw serious words around trying to sound cool”
“my depression feels like i’m in a blocked off cave that i know is there but i keep pretending isn’t.”
“oof, mines like being in the deepest part of the ocean and feeling comfortable but still worthless, but when you’re out of the ocean and look down at it, it’s the most terrifying thing you’ve ever seen and u can’t believe u used to be there and u didn’t hate it at the moment.”

Get the depressionmug. 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.

Get the Depressionmug. 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.
