Yeah that is a pretty good description of what it can be like. I am pretty good now. But some years ago I had serious depression and anxiety attacks and the whole nine yards and it was awful. People who have never had it that way don’t know how bad it can be.
I wish you WELL. Hang in there. If you want to chat hit me up.
I have it all day and it’s always hard to breathe people are so lucky when they have friends and when they have time on there side to help. As For me time forgets about me and friends don’t care about this topic. So I live with this and no one even knows because I’m so good at hiding. Depression is what kills people not by suicide by sadness. It’s tough some have support some don’t but I envy heavily those around me who are easily able to be cool and breath as I suffer. Hah go figure
I like your point “Time forgets about me and friends don’t care about this topic.”
I’ve found the same thing. Friends get sick of hearing about it, as if we should have “gotten over it” by now. They don’t understand it’s a long-term thing which has no simple causes and no simple answers.
thank you glad someone agrees and that I’m not the only one going through this but at the same time I would wish that no one has to go through What I’m going through. its definitely a long term which has been going on for 9 years which is why I am able to pull out strong points regarding the topic.
Really good description. However, sometimes it feels you get a breath of oxygen only to have to let go again. It’s on and off a lot. Some days, I forget about my depression. Others, I feel like I need to die right now.
That sounds about right.
It’s like we keep cycling through the various stages of drowning.
Sometimes we’re close to the surface and can almost see the sun shining.
Other times we’re at the very bottom, next to creatures that haven’t even been discovered yet.
I liked it too. Very poignant.
I wish I could take credit for it, but I didn’t make it; I found it during a google search for something or other, and the raw sentiment hit me so hard I knew I needed to save it.

I definitely agree that people who have never experienced it have no clue at all.
I’ve recently been thinking of it as emptiness with a desire for nothingness.
That description fits also.
There are probably as many definitions as there are people who have it, I suppose. :/
