People think depression is about being sad. They think it’s just when you ‘feel down’. It’s not, it’s a darkness that creeps over you and fills you. It drains all your emotions. It takes everything from you, and leaves you feeling hollow and numb. It’s not sadness, it’s not anger, its hopelessness. Imagine waking up and feeling no wind. Eating a meal and tasting nothing. Holding someone and feeling completely alone at the same time when you’re depressed, it’s not a bad mood. It’s a numb, empty, hollowness that seems to never leave. It’s feeling alone in a room full of people. You feel like there’s no hope left.
