Depression isn’t always crying or staying in bed.
Sometimes it looks like:
• Laughing with everyone while feeling empty inside.
• Leaving messages unanswered for days.
• Losing interest in things you once loved.
• Feeling exhausted after doing almost nothing.
• Letting little jobs pile up because everything feels enormous.
• Saying “I’m just tired” because you don’t know how to explain it.
• Looking completely fine to everyone around you.
Sometimes the people struggling the most become incredibly good at hiding it.
a girl on tiktok said “healing is so hard because it is a constant battle between your inner child who is scared and just wants safety.... your inner teenager who is angry and just wants justice.... and your current self-who is tired and just wants peace." and it hits me hard.
