I appreciate how you said "how depression can look" instead of "how depression looks"! That's just a very big deal!

Your teacher comes up to you and says "why aren't you doing your work?"
"What's the point?"

You can be told by a million ppl that “you’re not alone” and have supports but at the end of the day, you’re the one having to face it yourself

Feeling like you have no energy is the most true statement i have heard so far 💔

My mom said that, and yet she can't see her own child...

My depression isn't Treatable, it comes back

[Dula]

I thought I was surrounded by really good friends, but then depression taught me the reality of the world. At that I realized that I was alone all that time.

What’s worse is when u have friends and u are thankfull that they are there but u know they’ll never understand no matter how much they try. Heartbreaking 💔

Remember, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.!
You may feel like your friends are getting all the attention but not you. It's not and nothing like that. Do well in your life. I'm going through the same phase of depression rn. But still I'm here to comfort you guys and comforting myself as well while comforting you guys.

I’ve been depressed for a while now. I’m very lonely at school, have no friends, and I am very suicidal. I’m trying to quit, but it’s just hard and complicated. I just wanna tell you guys that please don’t start doing what I did. Enjoy life, have fun! I don’t want u guys to feel like me and other people that are also like me, trust me. It’s terrible.

I love that anyone isn't making fun of those dudes like video like the poses he made. Because depression is a really really serious case.

I have critical depression but that does not block my path of life you never know what is ahead of you in life ❤

[Lion_King]

Thats me litterely in school, i cant concentrate, i feel like i have no energy left, and i do isolate from friends, but most of the time (right now im sad well i was the whole day, i even went to sleep and my dad woke me up for dinner) and in school it’s hard for me to learn because i can’t concentrate, i just dont know what to do anymore😔 but when i read your comment JakeGoodmanMD then its very helpful🙂

[muhadhbraden]

I am still in school and go through that every day you are not alone
