Depression

When your entire world seems black and white. Certain people may alter that, colors may appear in a certain place or with your best friend. You are almost numb, and your happiness is pretend, vague, or a bit of both. A lot of people are afraid to get help because they don't know a life without it. In worst cases they've never or can't remember a life without it. You are often constantly exhausted even when you are not even close to sleep deprived. It's hard to do 'easy' things. There is a major lack of physical and mental motivation to wake up, leave the house, do homework, and other things. Combining depression with anxiety makes your life a living hell. The struggle to find someone who understands you is huge. Loneliness overcomes yourself and you fake feeling to please others. You pretend you don't think about killing yourself. You pretend you don't have several years worth of self harm scars on your arms. You pretend you don't think that the world would be way better without you. People underestimate people with depression. They are sensitive badasses.
