A state of altered perception where one sees the world as bleak and dark. Feelings and actions such as purposelessness, disinterest, low self esteem, self-harm, pessimism, suicidal thoughts or tendencies and a lack of motivation or energy may accompany it. It is not simply the feeling of being sad, but is a lasting state of mind that could be caused by a number of factors. Many health problems lead to depression, poor sleeping habits or eating habits, stress, drugs. Somebody who lives a life of abuse or poverty would be a victim of depression. Clinical depression is a very serious problem, and those who have it should seek help. Often it is difficult to recognise due to the numbness it can bring, and usually people are not willing to admit when they are depressed. Depression is difficult to imagine when one is not depressed, and can therefore fall under the critical eye as something that does not exist and something people only whine about because they have nothing better to do. Nobody can know for certain what another person is feeling, so it is not something anybody can judge.
Your next door neighbour seems happy and normal. You find out he has killed himself. Nobody had suspected his depression, but he has been feeling alienated and could find no sense of living, the pain and torment he was secretly feeling were too much to take.

a horrible black hole with seemingly no escape as you get sucked in deeper. Death is like a gift that will never come and no matter how hard you try, you can't prove to everyone else that your not going to commit suicide.

Whether everything is wrong, or nothing is wrong you still just don't see a point in trying anymore and making an effort to even move is too much work and you just don't see a point in anything anymore and you can't control it and you just feel so awful all the time and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it and the worst part is that it never goes away. Even when you're having the best day of your life, it's still just lingering there in the back of your mind.

That feeling you get when nothing is right. Where your always sad, or you cant find any reason to live. When you walk around in public with a fake smile and a positive attitude. When you can save everyone but yourself. You feel alone, helpless, and abandoned. You feel like nobody loves you anymore- and you have nobody to talk to you. You feel so alone and scared- you want to give up. But you cant. Your losing losing your mind- your faith. Your falling from grace, and your just all over the place. There's nobody to talk to and nobody to run to. Your lost inside and want to give up.
Sad people that fake a smile everyday are usually suffering depression.
