How Does Depression Feel? 💙

How Does Depression Feel? 💙

I often find myself wondering how to explain to people who haven't experienced depression what it feels like. I've come up with two ways I think that people who haven't experienced depression can relate a little bit to how depression feels. 💙

So the first one is when you're ill. If you have a cold and you think back to how you felt when you had that cold, the lack of energy, the tiredness and fatigue, that's part of depression. The irritability, that's part of depression. 💙

The wanting to hide away from the world, that's part of depression. And being antisocial, that's part of depression. And the other thing is we just had a couple of warm days here in England. It was very interesting because the heat for me, it saps the energy. 💙

I feel slow, I feel lethargic, I can't think properly, I can't concentrate. All those things also happened in depression. Depression was like that, but by a factor of 10,000. 💙
