Do you ever feel like there’s not a person in the world who loves you...?

It’s always worse than it seems.

What is depression like? It’s like drowning, except you can see everyone around you breathing.

If you know someone who’s depressed, please resolve never to ask them why. Depression isn’t a straightforward response to a bad situation. Depression just is, like the weather. Try to understand the blackness, lethargy, hopelessness and loneliness ther’re going through. Be there for them when they come through the other side. It’s hard to be a friend to someone who’s depressed, but it is one of the kindest noblest and best things you will ever do.

It feels like everyone else is moving on with their lives while I am stuck here in this hole that I can’t climb out of.

That moment when you can actually feel the pain in your chest from seeing or hearing something that breaks your heart.

Afterall, Everybody would be much better off without me right?

I am depression. I’m the emptiness you feel at 2am. the tears with no meaning. The pain when you smile. I don’t come alone. I bring my closest friends. We are the scars that cover your body. the voice you describe. But soon learn to trust. I am the only thing you will feel

Maybe this year Ill get myself off of the floor and try to pretend that things are getting better, That I’m changing but I still feel the same.

I don’t think anyone could ever criticize me more severly than the way I viciously criticize myself.
