Much has been written and talked about depression until now, still, not everybody understands the concept of this mental distress. Some call it an endless dark phase of life, some say its continuous spell of insomnia, for some it’s about ‘feeling dead inside’ while some others say its all about ‘switching off your feelings’.
Depression is truly tough to understand, even tougher if you’ve been lucky enough to never have felt it yourself.depression, to understand what you or your loved ones are going through, and to support yourself and your dear ones in the difficult phase of life.
But, it’s indeed important to try and decode depression, so as to better understand what you or your loved ones may be going through. So, the people on the internet are trying to explain what depression feels like to them, so that fellow netizens help and have a better idea of it.
Some of the things shared by people on Twitter about depression are downright relatable to me, while some others give us a better insight into the condition. Have a look:

It takes a very imaginative mind to get depressed. I have never seen a dumb person who is depressed. That means if you can get yourself depressed, you also have the power to come out of it. Depression is a mindset & environment. Change one/both to reverse it.#DepressionFeelsLike

#DepressionFeelsLike something that you can’t turn off with the flick of a switch in your brain, despite what ignorant people think…

#DepressionFeelsLike All hope and ability to think rationally has been sucked from your body.

You have to pretend you’re happy every day until it’s all just over..
Not having the motivation to do things you once loved doing..

#DepressionFeelsLike An endless loop of the same bullshit. The things you used to love have become irrelevant, the things you once used to cope become hollow. You think every single day, why you? You live hopeless, you merely live to die, you eventually lose who you once were.

#DepressionFeelsLike nothing. You can't feel anything even if you want to. Empty in the chest and don't know what really happened. Everything seems wrong and tight. Wanna get free but dont know from what. Sometimes, wanna ask for help but don't know what is happening.

#DepressionFeelsLike having a big hole in your chest, and no matter what you do there's just no way of covering it. You feel empty and that's just it. You don't feel anything other than that. You're just done crying, done hoping, done with everything.

Cn depression#DepressionFeelsLike coming home from 3 hours of work but need to sleep because you're so exhausted. Not feeling like you're able to do anything like cleaning the dishes because once you sat down you just can't get up again

#DepressionFeelsLike living in a void, a psychological and spiritual haze or pit of empty and aimless suffering.
Friends, reach out if you need help. Regardless of its cause, don't try to get through mental illness alone.

#DepressionFeelsLike being so wiped out you have no desire to do anything. But you can’t really sleep either so you just lay there lost in your own head….she says while laying awake at 4am, having slept 5 hours in the past 2 days.

#depressionfeelslike being tired all the time, being miserable because you're tired, losing the motivation to do things because you're so tired from being sad and sad because you're tired, then getting yelled at for being lazy so you stay in bed out of misery. and youre tired.

#depressionfeelslike Emptiness, isolation, no hope, no dreams, no light. It feels like darkness seeping into your soul. It feels like nothing you would ever want anyone else to ever feel. It feels like there is no connection, no love, no way to make a path through the forest.😱
