Depression doesn’t always look like sadness.
Sometimes it’s:
Constant brain fog.
Leaving laundry in the machine for 3 days.
Not remembering the last time you laughed.
Saying “I’m fine” and meaning “I’m drowning”.
Feeling exhausted from doing nothing.
Crying when no one’s around.
Wanting connection but isolating anyway.
This is what depression can really look like
no one talks about how draining it is when your mood is constantly switching from "keep going, it'll get better" to "I can't do this anymore, I'm about to give up".
