Depression isn’t “oh I feel sad today rip”
Depression is feeling so numb that you would give anything to feel some sort of emotion, even if it’s just sadness or anger. It’s feeling lost and alone, no matter how much others say they’re there for you. It’s losing interest in the things you used to throw your heart and soul into. It’s hiding how broken you are with a smile. It’s losing track of what day it is, because the days just seem to blend into one long nightmare. It’s the belief that you don’t matter anymore, that you’re worthless. It’s the feeling of complete and utter hopelessness that consumes your entire life. It’s going for days without eating because you simply don’t have the energy. It’s cutting yourself off from friends and family because you feel like you’re a burden.
It’s not just being sad, and it’s not something to joke about.
