Depression. The feeling of drowning while everyone around you can breathe. Struggling for air, knowing that you won't get it. Oceans of pain that you cant seem to escape. Depression is a war. You either win, or die trying. People tell you to just 'be happy' like that's even possible. They don't understand that you don't even know what happiness is anymore. You doubt that you'll ever feel it again.
