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.

Get the Depressionmug. 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 is depressing

Get the Depressionmug. The worst feeling in the world.
You feel like a piece of shit and no one can tell. You say you're fine even though you aren't. Sometimes you barly eat and if you go to school, you get bullied there. Sometimes you cut because you feel that worthless. You listen to music like p!atd and fall out boy. 'Emo' is your new nickname because of all the black you wear.
But don't worry. It gets better. You can take medication to make you feel better and hang out the few friends you may have. You slowly start to smile. It may take a long time but it's worth it. Just remember to get some sleep and rest. It's a long life. Take your time. It gets better.

Get the Depressionmug. 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.
