Depression

A sickness that lots of people have no idea what it feels like; depression will get you to think in different ways than you're used to. Friends dissappear and nobody seems to care. Having depression is like being colorblind, and everyone keeps telling you how beautiful and colorful the world is. Yes, it might be there, it mighy be pretty, but we can't see it. We feel like we never will. Contrary to popular belief, depression isn't simply cured by smiling or laughing. A glimpse of color isn't enough to fix any of this damage. A lot of people will confuse depression with a call for attention, which is a stereotype, but 99% of the time not the case. If someone confides in you, let them know they'll be okay and you'll be there for them. They don't need to be treated different just because they're depressed. A lot of us are still normal and it's not a contagious disease. Prolonged contact with a depressed person might have an affect, but it is unlikely that they'll turn you into a fully depressed person.
