depression for dummies

by sinking-ship

"So what does depression feel like" It feels like trying to run through the sand after you have just climbed out of the ocean. Like trying desperately to hang on to the merry-go-round spinning out of control. Like struggling to keep your head above water in a wave pool. Like trying to climb up a steep slide and slipping down just as you almost reach the top. Like gasping for air after you've had the wind knocked out of you. Like having a crush on life knowing life will never like you back. Do you understand now?
