Depressing Quote by Anonymous
“People think depression is sadness. People think depression is crying. People thin depression is dressing in black. But peopple are wrong. Depression is the constant feeling of being numb. Being numb to emotions, being numb to lie. You wake up in the mornings just to go back to bed again. Days arent really days; they are just annoying obstacles that need to be faced. And how do you face them? Through medication, through drinking, through smoking, through drugs, trough cutting. When you're depressed, you grasp onto anything that can get you through the day. Thats what depression is, not sadness or tears, its the overwheling sence of numbness and the desire for anything that can help you make it from one day to the next.”
