Drowning in Depression
A sea of despair and melancholy
It is possible to hear and learn about depression, however, unless you have actually experienced it you will never truly understand it - of that I am sure.
The doors of depression open only for a select few. Those who have crawled through her corridors and lived can attest that there is nothing in the world that can prepare you for the darkness you are about to face.
Days turn into nights, nights into weeks, seconds into hours, and hours into seconds - time no longer exists.
You exist but do not live. There is no amount of caffeine that can energize you and no amount of sleep that can refresh you. You nap to try and capture some sort of relief but awaken only to feel more drained than when you laid down.
Clothes pile up on the floor, dishes in the sink, you struggle to shower and get dressed. You can't accomplish anything.
