Depression is not Lana Del Rey songs with tears streaming down your face. Its not a blood stained tub with blades all over the floor. Its not a boy rocking you back and forth as he whispers “I love you” a million times in your ear. Depression is disgusting. A low feeling. Not something that is beautiful and poetic. It is a dirty feeling. It is you sitting in a tub with scolding hot water trying to burn the feeling away. It is the stale smell of the clothes in your room because you have no energy to clean it. It is laying awake at night in your bed wishing that you could fall asleep trying to shut your eyes but you just can’t. The circles under your eyes that don’t fade. The fading of your skin and the paleness in your face. The sick feeling you have when you wake up in the morning. Its an unwanted feeling. Nobody deserves to have it.

I know and no one understands it. They think it’s laziness or pathetic, they don’t get the pain is worse than physical pain, it’s like mourning the death or your mum or dad everyday, like it just happened, it’s that ultimate pain and it never stops. To wake up like that everyday, it’s so painful.
Yes, exactly. People try to romanticize it all the time. These people have no idea the legit, burning feeling of not wanting to wake up. It’s actually not a feeling. It’s something so much more, ya know?
The absolute worst is when people say “snap out of it!” Like it was that easy. And the doctors don’t really have a clue. If they did, then antidepressants should help everybody but they don’t. No one should have to live like this. I’m 51 now and have struggled with this my whole life. It’s only gotten worse over the years. I wish I had ended it all when I was younger. I had my chances. One time I overdosed on narcotics and drank a liter of vodka. I could feel myself about to lose consciousness and all I had to do was lie down and fall asleep. It would have been so easy, but I got scared and woke my wife up and she called 911. Now it seems pointless to kill myself, plus I don’t seem to have the balls. I’m just so sick of it all. By the way, the wife who called 911 divorced me and it should be final any day now. Life just gets better and better – NOT!
I’m so sorry to hear that :c and yeah I’m a young one and will be taking my chance soon. I already tried once but had my stomach pumped and my arm sewn up. I didn’t cut up and dow I cut in a side and didn’t hit a vein.. I was so close. Nobody should have to take pills. Pills don’t make the sad memories go away. But if she knew you were going through such feeling why would she leave? That’s pretty messed up if you ask me.. Everyone needs someone to hold them up in life. Unfortunately, I don’t have that person. Only the lucky ones find such person. Oh well I guess. Life isn’t for everyone.
That’s where you’re wrong born. We don’t need people to hold us up. It’s nice to have a person to help you get back on your feet but relying on someone else to keep you up is a mistake. If they trip and fall, you fall too.
Very true
I used to be depressed-probably because I realized my life fell short in so many ways but tbh I can barely remember what it felt like or what specifically depressed me. I think it could be as simple as not finding someone to love (who’d love me in return), realizing there’s so much evil in the world. Realizing I was not rich and had to struggle for everything.
I could be wrong but I believe that most people who are depressed can maybe find a way to get over it first by understanding what in their life causes them to feel depressed, then making changes in their life to overcome it.
About 8 years ago my life was turned upside down and I was completely unprepared. For others it was just another ordinary month, for me it was a seismic, titanic event. I was unemployed and a number of very serious problems around at the time. I had panic attacks (for the first time in my life), was depressed and wished for death. Eventually I realized I had no choice but to keep going and I resolved our problems-barely made it by the skin of our teeth but things were fine after that.
I’m no longer depressed, but I’m still sad….I don’t like the life I have and find it difficult to change. I feel even if I improved it, it wouldn’t seem to matter anyway, unless I became wealthy.
What I’m saying is that perhaps you can find a way out of your depression. At the same time, you should think about your living situation. I know some of you might be unemployed living with family. What would you do if they lost their job? Or something radical like that happened?
You just don’t want to get caught off guard like I was-if you think you’re depressed now, imagine if you were going to be homeless in a matter of a month or so. That’s what I had faced in the situation I mentioned above. So just make sure nothing blindsides you while you work on your psychological problems and best of luck.
I’m glad your not depressed anymore-unfortunately I cant seem to get out of it. I can work on my problems I don’t even know where to start.. Ill try – its so hard to get better
You couldn’t have described it any better.
Depression is exactly this.
-You say you have no one to hold you up.. neither did I. I know the feeling of wanting that but in all reality you don’t need it. You need belief in yourself. Only you have the power to make positive changes for yourself. Now I’m sad that you know so well about pain and depression but it is all apart of life.. We all deal with hardships at some point. Stay strong, anything in life is possible you just got to believe. And for the feeling of not having anybody I’m here for u. Maybe not in person but on the site. Everyone that’s so far commented on here is too did u notice that? You matter. You do Bcuz if u didn’t no one would’ve left a comment. But we did 🙂 keep your chin up.
