Being depressed Quote by Hannah Cole
“You say that everyone has depression at some point in their life. No. You have never had depression, or you would understand me. Depression is not simply being sad about your boyfriend dumping you or getting fired, they can be part of it but depression is this feeling like nobody wants you and there's just this empty void in your chest that you can't fix.”
