I'd love to hear people's descriptions of their own depression in one sentence?

[FuneralCry]

Already dead but still conscious and breathing.

 

[RealLostSoul]

my only friend is my misery (rip 2pac)

 

[WornOutLife]

It's as if I was climbing a mountain, falling at the bottom of it and then trying to reach the top again everyday.

 

[NothingElseMatters]

I'm no poet, so I can't answer you that in a dignified way.

 

[killedbypsychiatry]

my depression consists mostly of grief, grief of all I lost. My health, my life, my vitality, my happiness… and grief of what could have been, if my life wouldn't been destroyed by this mf psychiatrist. I live in a constant state of grief and rage, flashbacks and intrusive thoughts about the past and all the events that lead to the destruction of my life, it tortures me mentally, along with the deteriorating body I have to live in since this happened :(

 

[BlankUser]

To me, depression is like watching a life through a dirty window - you see there's some beauty out there, but the window is so dirty, you can't see the vivid colors, you can"t enjoy it.

 

[GreenTree]

A bastard fucking evil hell, Torture every second.

 

[Anon123]

world

A giant hole I cant escape from with a daily war in my head

 

[Trannydiary]

life is soup, i'm a fork

 

[Diesel_Punk]

Just circling the drain, sometimes I'm further and sometimes I'm closer but I know how it will end

 

[newave3]

Feeling hollow but heavy and dead on the inside, unable to remember what it feels like to feel the warmth of an emotional connection with another person.

 

[SosoruzeDosukoi]

Like having a tv in the room that's never shut off - I can not focus on it some of the time, and its not always loud; but Im always aware of it being there.

 

[Scribble Fan]

Drowning in a bottomless well.

 

[Remember-Me-Not]

My one sentence:
Drowning in shallow water.

edit: I noticed how a lot of people use water as a metaphor. One time someone told me that depression is like wearing a pair of dark sunglasses. I scoffed at that metaphor (I personally don't like it) because it implied that I could just.... take off my sunglasses. As if I put it on in the first place. As if depression is just doom and gloom, when it's more... complicated than than that. Anyways, that was my thought.

 

[Snake of Eden]

It made me who I am today. Just a worthless misrable sack of flesh and blood wondering the earth seeking an end to it all

 

[Smily]

Imagine living through the worst scenario possible. Depression is worse and on daily basis. It is a slow and a silent killer.

 

[Bitterman1996]

unable to move while everyone else could

 

[Nightmare]

The expected biological answer for being perfectly capable of being the person i desire to be, yet born into a place where earning my freedom and dignity is all i must be concerned about

 

[aviation]

The pain of an alien left behind on earth.

 

[CatTheBus5689]

I am one in a million, within a sea of billions.

 

[seeking2learn]

Feeling alone in a crowded world looking in from the outside at others enjoying their seemingly meaningful lives.

 

[heretogethelp]

Realizing life is ultimately futile.

 

[RedPanda]

Fucked.

 

[Pisceslilith]

Ongoing cycle of misery and dread.

 

[NasiGoreng]

A constant pain of being alive.

 

[BrokenArrow]

Like I'm clinging to a cliff by my fingertips - I'm way too far up to let go and be safe, but I'm too terrified and exhausted to continue climbing, so I use all my energy to just stay in the same place knowing that one day soon I'll fall.

 

[NoPointToContinue]

I can't stay here I need to go somewhere else. But there is no place that I want to go.

 

[everydayiloveyou]

Depression is what I feel when I stop deluding myself, and accept that life is difficult, people are mean, and it's not going to be worth it. It's like an eerie sense of clarity.

 

[one.way.out]

An exhausting never ending struggle that's not worth the effort.

 

[seeking2learn]

Stolen Life.
