Depression

Is like you don't exist. It doesn't hurt,
it doesn't feel. You don't care about
anything. You don't even want to move.
It's like a long, long sleep, where you
never wake up. You're always cold, even when
it's hot. You're always sad, even when you're
not. There is no you. You might as well be
dead. It can't be any worse. You don't even
function. You're just there. INVISIBLE!

Author notes

This is just a simple attempt to describe this condition. Depression feels this way to me, lately
my depression has lifted, but it always remains a part of me.

Please tell me what you think

    So relatable!

    I suffer from a Mood Disorder with an emphasis on the Depressive side! I can totally identify with this write. You describe it well. Depression is a living hell & it's always so wonderful to be on the other side of it! Here's to the up side which always comes in time!

      Thanks, I'm glad it's clear.

      It's my goal to make people see that it is an illness, just like any other. It needs treatment, and understanding. No one questions if you need an insulin shot, but an antidepressant, that's another story. There were times for me when the upside didn't come, without intervention. Death was a better option. Now though that seems so unreal to me. It took a long time for me to get to this place. Now if others would learn to see it for what it is. Maybe this little poem will help. Thanks again, Connie.

      Thanks,

      That never ending feeling of being tired. I've literally had to make myself move, or time would just waste off. Thanks for the good wishes. Connie

      Knowing that , and feeling it are so very different. I know the light is there, and I can show it to everyone else. Yet at certain times in my life, I can't see it for myself. It's such a strange thing. Thanks for reading, and I'm glad to know that it expresses the illness so well. Sometimes people don't see it as that, it's like they think you chose it. Thanks again, Connie
