Depression is not sadness, it's more of a deep feeling of nihilism and lack of energy. Nothing seems to matter, nothing motivates or stimulates you, and you don't want to do anything because you feel it will be pointless.
-
But depression is not just sadness. That's just what people think. Its more than that. Depression is numbness, nervousness, being self conscious all the time. It's embarrasment, exhaustion, not being able to focus. Depression is not just sadness

"I'm ok, just tired."

I could remember several years ago, i suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Was actually addicted to alcohol and cigarettes. Not until a friend recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

Depression is real and only after you face it, you realise how DISGUSTING are people who think that its "cool".
-
Anyone else feel like they lost there childhood wonder and hope. As I grow older I start to become more sad because I feel that void that needs to be filled.
-
Telling a person with anxiety/depression to “get over it” is like telling a crippled person to get up and start walking. It just doesn’t work that way.
-
Man depression is the real deal. I pray and hope anybody going through this can keep their head up, and may god heal your soul
-
I feel like I can barely move. I don't want to bathe, get up for work, play my games, I have 0 energy for anything
-
its worse when people don't help you when you look depressed for a long period of time
-
Jesus christ the comment section is depressing. Im sending all y'all virtual hugs. Have a good day ✌️
-
When people say, “you must be so happy!” Because you act happy all the time but little do they know, you have the worst depression anxiety. And to top it all off have an eating disorder
-
The worst thing is having depression AND anxiety. It's like, I feel like dying but I'm afraid to die at the same time...
-
I wanna die but at the same time i don't
-
Did anyone else appreciate the lockdown because u could finally have the perfect excuse to not see anyone and just be depressed at home?
-
I just want to go to sleep and never wake up
-
I just wanna like...sleep forever and never wake up ...
-
Bruh I wonder how small my hippocampus is.
-
Too many self diagnosed angsty or edgy teens have been saying “I’m depressed” or using the world loosely, so now when someone gets diagnosed it’s hard to believe them
-
I sometimes wish that my mom had a miscarriage when she was pregnant with me
