“What's wrong with you lately? You seem to be checked out & not yourself.”
Me: I'm grieving a life I thought I would have, battling stuff that no one knows about, & craving a future that I don't think exists for me, so yeah I'm pretty checked out. I'm fine though.
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 .
