Depression is….
The constant feeling of numbness,
The feeling of not being good enough..
It’s the days when,
You don’t even have the motivation to get out of bed..
People who don’t have depression say,
“Oh, you’ll be fine. Get over it!”
But those of us who do have depression(including myself);
Know that it’s really not fine,
You don’t just get over it..
Depression is,
An everyday fight with your mind!
It’s the feeling of wanting to be happy,
But mentally your brain saying,
“You don’t deserve happiness!”
While on the other hand,
Anxiety is….
Staring at the ceiling,
When 3 a.m. hits,
Thinking about everything you’ve done wrong in life..
Having people say to you,
“It’s all in your head!”
Really,
Do you seriously think we like feeling this way?
No, we do not!
Feeling like everyone hates you,
Feeling as if you’ve been abandoned..
Feeling like the most important people in your life are leaving!
Trust me,
We don’t like that feeling,
We don’t like it at all..
You wanna know what’s worse though?
Having both,
Anxiety and depression.
Anxiety and depression is….
Being scared and exhausted at the same time,
Fearing failure, yet having no energy to work,
Caring too much, or not caring at all..
Having anxiety and depression,
Is literal torture..
Because on a daily basis,
You feel as if you’re drowning..
You feel as if you’re in a hole you can never get out of!
So think again,
Before you say a smart remark,
To someone with depression and/or anxiety.
Because you know what?
It’s an everyday struggle for us..
It’s a life of pain,
It just doesn’t magically go away..
Just know,
We are trying.
You gotta be patient with us;
Don’t just give up on us!
