I get how you're feeling I can help you No, you don't get it just because you're sad sometimes, doesn't mean you can understand depression just because you cry sometimes, doesn't mean you can feel the amount our pain just because you have mood swings, doesn't mean you have illness depression feels like you're drowning, but you can see everyone around you swimming depression is like a monster in you head, which is always weighing you down even when you think you're happy, something clicks you and you realize you're sad again when everyone around you laughing, you feel SO alone depression makes you drift from people I'm not the same anymore depression stops you from wanting to do things that you used to love like you're not good enough hating every inch of yourself you wake up every morning know how hard and long day is going to be thinking about how to end things planning escape routes the worst part? knowing how hard it is to get better I won't ever get better because I'm me A FAILURE and that terrifies me so NO, don't tell me you understand how depression feels and that you can help me because NO ONE does NOT ONE PERSON AT ALL
