When you’re depressed, it’s not just about feeling sad or crying in the corner. It’s not the kind of pain that people can easily see or understand.
Depression is so much deeper, so much heavier.
It’s waking up every day with a weight in your chest, a constant sense of numbness, and this overwhelming need to grasp at anything, anything that might help you make it through the next 24 hours.
It’s not dramatic. It’s not romantic.
It’s not the rain-soaked scenes you see in movies. It’s a quiet, exhausting battle. A war you fight in your head, alone, over and over again.
You cling to the smallest things, a favorite song, a comforting routine, a distraction, or even just the promise of sleep at the end of the day, because they are your lifelines. They’re the only things keeping you from falling into that abyss.
