Pictures That Represent My Depression

I don’t know what to tell you. I’ve dealt with depression since I was about 16 years old, but only recently have realized what it was and why I feel the way I do. I have good days, and I have bad ones just like everyone who lives with depression. A few years passed, where I felt healthy and balanced. Then six months ago it hit me like a truck in the middle of a highway, thankfully I understood what was happening.

This thread contains a series of pictures. Each one represents my own interpretation of my own experiences with depression. Click the exit button if you like or continue reading, the choice is yours, my friend.

I know you’re probably thinking that’s just a picture of a lamp and you’re right. But to me, this lamp represents the inability for balance. It’s not standing upright as it should, and the light shines the wrong way. In a way, this reminds me of myself. I’m never sure if I’m going the right way in life and my thoughts definitely have times when they ‘shine in the wrong direction.’ In reality, this is just a picture of a lamp that was standing in temporarily for a broken light bulb. I don’t know why it had fallen on its side, a little like myself. Who knew something so plain and straightforward would strike an interpretation such as this did.
