What does depression feel like

Hello every one and wellcome,
Depression feels like walking through thick fog.Completely unaware of what should be done and where you should be.
Everything is blurred around you. Time passes quickly,nothing
gets done and you feel useless at the end of the day.

Depression feels like nothing more than to go to bed, hide under
the safety covers and stop the day or days. It is exhausting from head to toe and stop like the only way out.

Depression feels like disappointing, especially when it resurfaces
again and again after you had thought it off. You do all the right
things, and still sometimes creeps back in, placing you back on
square one.

Depression feels like being a complete fraud. Putting on a happy
face in front of freinds and family members, so nobody will
know how broken you feel inside. Your worst fear is someone
asking you, what's wrong or are you okay, because of the flood
of sadness the innocent questions might initiate.

Depression feels like being a big fat liar. Rescheduling a meeting
at the last moment, because you cannot face the world that day.
You dont have the courage to simply say "I am depressed" so
instead  you make up a better story.

Depression feels like being cheated out of living life. Seeing others move forward with their lives and their successes when
you feel paralised and stuck. Seeing a beautiful day outside your
window, while depression keeps you from enjoying it.

Depression feels like all,some or none of these things.

Depression feels different for everyone. This mental condition is
so complex that it takes a lot of time and considerations to
determine the stage of depression and set a comprehensive plan
for redressal.

I will conclude here today with the hope of coming back to you
with a new post. Bye for now and warm regards,
Kalyan.
