What do you think depression is? I would say it is an emotion. I think people who dont experience it commonly misunderstand it as something like “series of bad thoughts” or just some unhealthy way of thinking. I dont think its about thinking. It is not rational but emotional. It is a feeling not a thought. When Im really fked up at my lowest I dont think. I just stare. I stare and stare and stare at anything (any object rather, I have problems looking on people especially in the eyes). I stare and my mind is empty. No thoughts. Just this feeling. I would describe it best as the opposite of feeling in love since that is also irrational, and kinda on the edge between chemical and psychological but the emotion is positive. Maybe it is a bad definition. I have never been in love so I dont know.

I would say that depression is all those things. It effects every aspect of your life. Mood, emotions, thoughts, actions, and sleep. It’s everywhere. At least it is for me.
Well ye but I would say the core is the feeling/emotion which then impacts ur thoughts and thay impact life…
I could be wrong Im not even sure if what I experience is really depression tho.
Apparently it eats away at you slowly? Don’t know
And you never will be in love because it’s a social construct! Make it up though. I think it’s just when your chemicals go to brain like slots hitting 7s and then you wake up but you’re still you and you realize there is nothing special about the girl. Haha
As for depression
Tiredness, sadness, hopelessness
