Depression can be difficult because sometimes you try to tell people and they don't seem to understand how deep you are in the hole.

...See more Depression doesn't start from nothing, the majority of time. In my case, it started from giving too much to the world and not getting it in return, which has made me feel selfish that I even have the expectation. The feeling of selfishness makes me feel even worse. At first there's a voice in your head saying "you deserve better" but eventually that voice gets worn out from trying to convince you so much. Once that voice is gone, the only thing left are the millions of others which seem to be only the one's who look down at you. You try to flip the script and convince yourself that those voices are wrong and the one who got tired is right. You try to push yourself into the light so you can get that voice back. You try in every way imaginable but then you try reaching out to the ones who don't understand because that's all you have close to you. This leaves you feeling the same exact way you did when it started, a constant cycle.. A part of me knows that there are people in the world who care. This network is a perfect example of that. But, in the real world, where are they? While don't they speak out publicly like you do? Well the answer is they do, it's just they are in a similar cycle which makes them difficult to find. Just like you, choosing to suppress their feelings in public..
