Depression is like drowning, but you see everyone else breathing. But apparently, to him, it's like holding a loaded machine gun with no trigger, and the bullets don't stop. Sometimes, it's being choked by everyone, and they laugh at you.

Depression isn't just being an Emo and hating life - it's many things.
