Depression...

What people think it is:

Sadness, crying, dressing in black.

But they're wrong...

Depresion is:

always feeling numb....

Numb to emotions,

numb to life...

Wake up in the morning, 

pretend you're okay,

then sleep again...

Repeat daily.

You smile, but you want to cry...

You talk, but you just want to be quiet. 

You pretend to be happy, but you aren't!

Depression is feeling trapped, 

abandoned, 

lonely,

scared,

tired,

lost.

Depression is feeling like you're suffocating,

like you're never going to breath again.

Depression is those times when you're happy, 

and then suddenly, 

for NO reason, you become hit with sadness,

and you break down again.... 

Crying those tears,

those tears that hurt to cry.

Your body racking with the pain.

You're crying so hard 

that you can barely breathe,

you clutch your stomach, 

trying to breath or keep quiet,

trying to make it stop!

You sink to the floor, 

holding your body,

trying to hold yourself together.

That's depression...
