People think depression means your sad and crying all the time. Depression for me is being stuck in a twilight zone. i can't think , i don't respond to things , nothing is interesting , i just feel empty. not sad , just blank. I have a lot of days like this and they are hard .
anyone else really exhausted every single day no matter how much sleep they get no matter how many vitamins and minerals they take no matter how much they try to get sun and work out no matter how much the try and try and try
my anxiety has a loophole that if somebody else is equally or more uncomfortable i develop the sudden ability to DO THE THING. i can’t go and ask for more ketchup for myself but if my friend wants more ketchup i’m out of my seat in a second
anyone else feel this incredible sense of dread that hasn’t been going away and in fact has been building to the point where just waking up fills you with intense fear bc that means you Have to be awake and do stuff and exist and like be a person
no one talks about how draining it is when your mood constantly switches between "keep going, it will get better" and "i can't do this anymore, im about to give up." it's like living in emotional whiplash. one hour you're hopeful, the next you're spiraling
People think depression means crying or being sad all the time, but sometimes it’s just feeling stuck, like the world’s moving and you’re not. You’re not really thinking or feeling, just existing. Not sad, just numb… and most people don’t get how hard that is.
I realised its not laziness or procrastination, when you reach a certain state of depression you get so detached from reality and you don't wish to participate in anything in life, you just want to sleep and wake up and actually not speak to anyone.
