People think depression is sadness.
People think depression is crying.
People think depression is dressing in
black. But people are wrong.
Depression is the constant feeling of
being numb. Being numb to emotions
being numb to lie. You wake up in the
morning just to go back to bed again.
Days aren't really days; they are just
annoying obstacles needed to be
faced. And how do you face them?
Through medicine, through drinking,
through drugs, through cutting.
When you're depressed you grasp on to
anything to help you get though the
day. That's what depression is. Not sadness,not tears,it's the
overwhelming sense of numbness
and desire of anything that can help
you make it from one day, to the next.
