To all the people
Who think you're only depressed if you cut, starve yourself or kill yourself, you're wrong. Depression is an illness. It's something you can't even see for yourself to start with. It's like watching everyone around you living their life while you struggle through every day wondering if you'll end up crying. It's like going to sleep at night and hoping with all your heart that when you wake up, things will be a little bit better than the day before.
As soon as you open your eyes in the morning and you see everything is just as painful as it ever has been, and that heartache in your chest is still there, it's like the day just isn't worth living. You just want to stay in bed, you don't want to get up and get dressed because you know, you can wear nice clothes and put on your makeup and do your hair, but you'll feel like sh/t inside, like you always do. It's like you don't enjoy doing anything anymore apart from sleeping. You lose your temper because you're so tired of being trapped in your body, a body that's always forcing you to believe that you can't do it anymore.
This is depression. You don't need to cut yourself or kill yourself to be depresed.
I should know.
