I don’t want to be that guy but, i would say the feeling of being depressed, years ago i had that feeling but how would you describe it? it isn’t just being sad, i know that the feeling of sadness is part of the depression equation but it’s not just the sadness what describes the whole feeling, you could describe it as lack of motivation or just unhappiness, but is it really just that?
the closest i got to the describing depression was during a lonely winter night, i was feeling desperate, lonely (as mentioned before), unhopeful, anguished, you just get a blast of all those feelings combined with the uncertainty of what will be of you in the future if you continue feeling that way, hoping that someday you’ll just feel free and calm once again.
for people who have not felt this way seems just like sadness right? at least that was what i felt from them when talking to different people about it, most would say “ you just gotta focus on the good things, do exercise, go out and meet people.”, but they dont really know whats going on your mind even if you try to explain it, cause you can’t really express how you feel on the inside in a way they’ll understand. its like if you were living in a whole different world.
also, sorry idk if yall will understand my text 😅 im a lil bit rusty on my english, also i hope its not a sensitive topic to some people here or even a topic i shouldn’t be talking about in this section, it just felt like something i never got to talk about.
