People think depression is sadness. People think depression is
crying. People think depression is dressing black. But people are
wrong. Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. Being numb
to emotions, being numb to lie. You wake up in the morning just to
go back to bed again. Days aren't really days; they are just
annoying obstacles that need to be faced. And how do you face them?
Through medication, through drinking, through smoking, through
drinking, through smoking,through drugs, through cutting. When your
depressed, you grasp onto anything that can get you through the day.
That's what depression is, not sadness or tears, it's the
overwhelming sense of numbness and the desire for anything that can
help you make it from one day to the next.
Good definition.
ReplyDeleteI wonder, what's the cure?
Not just how do you face the obstacles...you addressed that (though I hope there are healthy ways too). But what's the cure for depression?
"You wake up in the morning just to go back to bed again." Love this line.
