Depression

Depression is a serious mental illness. Usually people are depressed because something terrible happened in their life or maybe just because they miss someone/something. But not all people with depression have a reason to be depressed. Sometimes you’re just depressed because you need to be. Some people are constantly sad some are constantly numb. Some people talk about it and some people don’t. Some people show emotions and some people just hide it behind a fake smile all day. It’s like hating yourself and wanting to die but also being scared of death. It’s waking up in the morning, feeling like everyday’s the same. It’s when you know you have people around that love you but feeling like nobody cares. It’s when you cry yourself to sleep every night and cover your mouth so you don’t make noise. People with depression usually either can’t sleep or they sleep too much. Some people lose their appetite and don’t eat at all and some people try to eat the pain away by overeating.

When somebody tells you they have depression don’t act like it’s nothing. Because it is something and it’s very serious.

People with depression always lack confidence. They wear either oversized clothes or always wear sweatshirts because of self harm. They hate when other people make jokes about death, because for them it’s like talking about their dream. It’s wanting to die but not wanting other people to hurt the way you did so instead drowning yourself in your head with those horrible thoughts.

Person 1: “ Oh my god I’m so sorry, I had no idea. Thanks for opening up to me and don’t worry, we’ll find help together.”
