dealing with depression

Depression is being lonely in a room full of people

Depression is being constantly tired but never able to sleep

Depression is longing to be with others yet not being able to cope with company

Depression makes you lose your appetite and eat yourself fat

Depression is smiling to hide the pain inside

Depression is when the soul dies but the body keeps on living

Depression is forgetting who you used to be

Depression is not knowing if you could survive without it

Depression is being sad when nothing is wrong

Depression is not caring whether you live or die

Depression is having no interest in the things you used to love

Depression is lying awake for hours in bed at night contemplating the best way to kill yourself 

only to realise that you can’t be bothered.
