depression

Depression is like drown in the sea but seeing everyone around you breathing perfectly fine.

It feels like you're walking upstream through a current strong enough to pull you under four times over. There are others, with you but they are walking along the banks telling you to "just get out of the water." Every once and a while you find a rock that is strong enough to lean on, and you just rest for a bit. But the rocks always get tired of holding you up, and when they let go, your left drowning, thrown 50ft. under and you try to get back to the surface. But nothing is harder than to stand back up in the current when everything in you is telling yourself to just give up and just drown to get it over with. To just get dragged under the water and just die.

Depression is a serious thing and people pose to have it but it's not something you want to have anyway so why pretend? When you go around telling your friends you have depression just know that there might actually be a depressed person right next to you. You maybe think that you're depressed but you aren't you're just sad for the time being if you are doing that.

To people actually fighting depression reading this... Stay Strong because stars can't shine without darkness.

Person 1: "I'm sorry for anyone with depression they have to be really strong."
Person 2: "I hope they get through it."
