People who don’t suffer from depression, won’t understand it, I know I’ve said that a few times, but remember that. (And I don’t say “suffer” lightly, it is suffering. Your whole body hurts, your brain doesn’t work, you’re tired until you try to sleep and then you’re wide awake. You want to laugh, but instead all you can do is cry. You feel like crying and you just get angry, so angry, angry because there is nothing you can do to make yourself feel normal. You do something you absolutely love and you start to feel good and then you wonder why you feel good, you shouldn’t feel good, this isn’t right, you get anxious, you get nauseous, and you cry.)
This.
The effect depression has on me is similar, although it usually manifests in supreme lethargy. That then leads into an inability to concentrate or perform serious tasks, which means that getting worried about tasks and deadlines often leads to an evil soul-sucking downward spiral of doom and gloom.
Many thanks to Bailey for putting this into words.
