Depression isn’t always sadness.
Sometimes it’s:
• Not having energy to shower or eat
• Feeling numb instead of sad
• Wanting to talk but not having the words
• Smiling so people don’t worry
• Feeling guilty for struggling
It’s heavy. And it’s misunderstood.
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.

does anyone else with ADHD create elaborate fake scenarios in their head as they fall asleep. alternate lives. romantic plots. comforting storylines. full soundtracks. i've been directing my own bedtime cinema since i was 6.
Suicidal ideation, for many, isn’t about death.
It’s about relief.
From shame.
From feeling overwhelmed constantly. From feeling like a fucking burden.
The goal isn’t always “not wanting to be alive”
It’s just not wanting to live like this.
Depressão é uma doença complicada, hoje sem nenhuma vontade fui para a academia, conversei com algumas pessoas, dei risada, falei com uma guria deveras bonita. A minha mente mesmo dormindo bem, estava em um estado de exaustão e desligamento de tudo... é um esforço enorme
