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.
Hi how are you?

I’m fine (I’m depressed)

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

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.

Depression

The constant feeling of being trapped and forgotten. Feeling the world wouldnt change without you, feeling like you have nothing to love for. The feeling that no one will ever understand you so much, that you don't even understand yourself, so you don't want to exist, you want to disappear and never come back.

depression

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.”

Depression

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.

Depression

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.

Depression

Depression is not a joke it is when you don’t care about anything and you start feeling like there is no purpose of living in the world and you are sad because you have a lot of feelings inside you that you can’t stand and want to tell someone but you can’t because you don’t know if they will continue to be your friend like how everyone else did, depression is a horrible thing every acts like that have that but for attention. Depression is a feeling like you can’t stand nothing and the slightest things bother you, everyone you have becomes fake and back stabs you. You feel it your worthless and on now cares about you and you just think about how if you died no one would care.
