Depression feels like emptiness, the constant feeling of no feeling at all and a crave to feel. It feels like you're 10 feet underground and no one can hear your screams for help. Depression feels like a whip that slaps you at random. Sometimes you're hanging out with people, at school, at work, etc. and then the whip comes and slaps you again. You feel like you can't talk to people, you feel like if you open up to them they'll think you're weird or just say, "Get a physiatrist." which is easier said than done. You have to keep in mind that it gets so much worse before it gets better. You might lose friends along the way but true friends will alway be one text or call away. Don't worry about your depression because it will go away. You just need time and patience and some things that can make you smile or laugh. If you're pretty much fully recovered and you get a wave of depression again it will pass in one to two weeks. <3 (This was all from past experiences of me and a friend recovering. If your depression does not start recovering after 10-24 months I recommend seeing a doctor for a proper diagnosis.)
Girl:"I'm finally starting to feel genuinely happy and more confident with myself!"
Boy:"Do you mean your depression is starting to go away?"
Girl:"Yes! I haven't been this happy in so long!"
Boy:"We should celebrate!"
