How would you describe depression?

Like your drowning and eveyone else is able to breath and you just have to watch everyone carry on with your normal life while you struggle.

When you have your favorite food everyday and then one day your favorite food is not on the menu anymore.

Depression, atleast to me is feeling empty. Feeling like everything is meaningless. Being constantly sad.. And most importantly, feeling helpless.

Depression to me is someone who wants to give up on things. Its someone who rather be isolated from everyone because of how down they feel. Its a struggle they are dealing with that got them to that place and dont know how to get out of it.

Something that eats you away from the inside, a little black monster in your head that tells you that you're worthless and you can't handle it anymore

Depression is this soul-sucking thing that makes your life terrible. No one should ever have to go through it, but millions of people do everyday. It's a very serious thing that more people need to take seriously. In my own opinion, it feels like being empty and dead on the inside and just waiting for the outside to be the same way.

A pit of nothingness, you feel helpless and worthless and you want to disappear. Depression feels like trying for centuries to succeed, but never doing it.

I would describe depression as a feeling that holds on for dear life and pulls you deeper and deeper eventually taking you to rock bottom, sometimes and tricking your brain to make you think that you need to harm yourself to feel better. Sometimes also making it feel like comitting suicide is the only answer and it is not. That is why us Listeners are here, we can help.
