What is depression?

Depression is not simply "deep sadness." Depression is like having your heart cut out. Once its gone you lose your feelings about everything.

It is like staring at a kitchen cupboard for 10 minutes, with no motivation to look away or to even make a decision. Everything is meaningless.

Where your life is just one big, dark hole.

Of course, somehow, almost mechanically, I still take care of others needs. Even if I can hardly feel anything at all, those motions are so familiar to me...

Depression is like feeling your soul taking up less and less space inside your body. Some kind of huge, immovable force crushes it, causing the soul to shriek in pain, feeling death.

We are all insane. The most insane thing about us all is that we believe what we think is right.
