What is Depression

Depression is like a product that you get when you're born, its just there. Its like a care package but it doesn't care. Its most like a ferby that stays alive and talks when you try to turn it off. Its something you have to deal with when it pokes its ugly little head. It helps you feel dead inside. But wait, there's more! It caters to each person differently! It pops up when you least expect it or want it! It treats everyone differently. If you're a person able to deal with depression because you've done it for so long, awesome! But some people have been struggling with theirs so much for so long, more intently, that it doesn't seem worth it after a while. Sometimes you think about killing yourself, not because you're trying to be selfish but because that deep obnoxious feeling would actually go away if you were gone and people wouldn't have to deal with your random break downs if you were off this earth. It sounds peaceful while the absolute chaos is running through your head. Peace sounds amazing and it almost feels attainable for a second while you jump towards it and everything just feels so much calmer but that seems to last seconds... Not the lifetime one would hope for. Its so painful and hard but I am so fucking proud of everyone dealing with this and having to deal with those that have no understanding and standing in such ignorance that they think its something you suddenly get over. Its harder than that for some people. Everyone deals with it differently because that's what life is. Its kind of like dealing with kids, not one child is like the other. You have to deal with kids differently the same goes for depressed people. You and me will get through this. I believe in you...
