The best description I've heard of depression: "Depression isn't when things go wrong and you feel terrible about it. It's when everything is going well, and you still feel terrible about it."
-
The worst thing about depression is feeling guilty for being depressed because you know you shouldn't be.
-
Telling a depressed person to be happy is like telling a paralyzed person to stand up
-
The worst part about depression for me is that even though people say you should get help and talk to people, when you do, they don't actually help anything. They feel sorry for you. They don't want to be around you, because you're depressed. They think you're going crazy. Talking to people actually makes it even worse. That creates even more loneliness, and it's just a part of the downward spiral.

Depression is when ur body is alive but your soul don't wanna be inside it .
-
Even when im around people that SHOULD know what depression is like, i still get pretty much the silent treatment.
-
He explained it perfectly. Living life is hard. Especially when your empathic and feel everything! You get overwhelmed!
-
Depression is when sleeping is the only thing you like, because you don't feel anything.
-
depression is like living in a body that fights to survive with a mind that wants to die

2017 was a dark year for rock. I didn't expect Chris Cornell to commit suicide due to depression. Chester certainly didn't keep his depression a secret but I was still shocked and heartbroken about his death. RIP CHRIS and CHESTER

"Who cares if one more light goes out? Well I do." There is always someone that cares about you. Get well :)

Telling a depressed person to “be happy” is like telling an asthmatic person to “just breathe”

A friend of mine said to me that depression is like a cold: you have it for a while, and then it gets better. I said 'No... it's more like arthritis: you always have it, but some days are less painful than others.'

He's an artist. He felt too much. I will remember him as a happy guy as he was on Good Mythical Morning. Chester singing about food is life.

I feel this. I'm on medication and seeing a counsellor now, quit drinking, and I'm just barely treading water. Doing anything is still a struggle. I'm almost 40 now (elder millenial here) and it's brutal seeing where I feel like I should be able to be, but can't be. If you're like me, don't be ashamed to go on medication and seek professional help, because the shit does not get better on it's own. At least I've stopped it from getting worse.

Unless you have been there, you have no f--ing idea how awful this mindset is.
-
The worst thing about having depression is the fact that you have to try and be a "Different You" in front of loved ones so that they stay happy...while you just rot away slowly but steadily.
-
I suddenly burst into tears. RIP chester. You’ll always be missed.
-
As someone who suffered from depression pretty much all my life I just want to say the past 2 years have been incredible for me. I've never felt this happy. Just know there is hope!

It’s so hard being a deeply feeling person in an incredibly unfeeling world.
