The Pretty Good Depression

The current economic downturn, which is declining quickly toward a depression. No breadlines yet, like in the *Great* Depression, but still, it is significant - let's say *Pretty Good*

(In the year 2020)

Joe History Teacher: The Pretty Good Depression started in late 2007 as wild speculation in the housing markets fueled by artificially suppressed and lax credit came to a crash, lasting until through 2011. Unemployment didn't reach Great Depression levels but did peak at over 15% in the United States.

Depression

Depression feels like your drowning, while everyone else around is breathing. Depression is like a drug. It's so easy to get trapped into this "drug" it's hard to stop. But you can get through it. Depression is not a sign of weakness it's someone who has been to strong for to long. Depression makes everything u see black. No color. You're laughs and smiles are always fake and forced, and your breaks into a million pieces.

Depression; something we all don't deserve

depression

The word depression is a strong word it’s like a darkness a cold alone feeling that takes forever to get over. You just want to be the way you feel, you want to be alone. You can’t understand that the world is a hard place to be if you don’t surround yourself with the right people… Being put down by yourself and by others hurts so much so when you find someone who treats you the way you deserve to be treated you don’t know what to do..After a while you get anxious and you just get worse the darkness gets darker… You shut yourself out you have no idea why you put yourself through it all and you get scared of leaving your bedroom and if you do it’s for the shortest amounts of time that you can.You feel like there’s no one to turn too.. You distrust your beliefs and go down a dark hole and find it’s a really deep hole that you have to fight to get out of the spot you’re in… But the more you try the darker the hole gets because you’re scared to let the fear come back into your life but being scared of fear coming into your life you make it worse. The darkness has taken over everything. Your grades, your social life, your friends, and even your family. You feel like there's no way out... You're alone in the world..

In a deep depression.

depression complex

Depression Complex is that of a person who does not believe in depression as an illness, yet they appear to be dealing with it themselves, while it is impossible to prove that they have depression, they seem the most conflicted and unhappy.

Guy 1: Hey man you alright you seem a little depressed.

Guy 2: I'm okay, I don't exactly believe in depression, i mean, i believe people can be sad, but I don't believe it's an illness.

Guy 1: I understand, you must have a

"depression complex", but ya know others won't understand right.

Guy 2: Yeah, I know...

Depression Matrix

A series of clickbait thumbnails found at the end of an article on a webpage, generally taunting leaked pictures of celebrities, DIY cures for genetic diseases and simple recipes to become a millionaire (or whatever your browsing history says you're in lack of).

- Dude, what I don't get is how everybody else seems to be successfully navigating the vagaries of life while I remain eternally stuck in mediocrity.
- Don't tell me. You've been staring at a Depression Matrix again.

Depression

Depression is a mental illness you can't be deppresed for like 2 days. Depression is not sadness. Sadness is when you feel sad depression is when you feel nothing. Depression is NOT something to joke about.

Sadness:

"I'm so depressed that I couldn't buy that chocolate bar!"

"You're sad not depressed."

Depression:

"I feel worthless and like everyone hates me. :'("

"So you have depression :'/"
