How would you describe depression?

Having a flat battery

a dark scary place with nothing but my monsters and pain.

My description of depression is a feeling of sadness and sorrow for a long period of time that the person doesn't cheer up.

Depression is a mental illness, that makes one feel extreme sadness and other negative emotions. But if you're asking how it feels? Depression is...a dark cloud or a shadow that follows you around wherever you go whispering doubts and fears to you, it feels like drowning and being set on fire all at once, it feels like too much but also feels like emptiness, a black hole in you heart that swallows all your hopes. It feels like you're alone in this world, the last one standing, and you're lost, you're walking down an empty road looking for a home you're not sure exists. Depression can be described in many ways, it feels different from one person to the next but at the end of the day it is what it is, a mental illness. An illness that needs to be helped, understood and stopped, no one should ever have to feel the way you do when you are depressed.

depression is like living with a leach attached to you, sucking you life and happiness away each and every day

Depression is like being stuck in a hole that's hundreds of feet underground; it's so dark, people will throw you a rope and you won't see it. When you do make the first step and grab that rope, you have to climb up the rope to get out, carrying with you the weight of yourself. That's the hardest part, but also the part that makes it all worth it. If you want my logical explanation, it's decreased mood levels, thinking one is worthless, a nuisance, and in some cases "better off dead". It includes disrupted sleep or oversleeping, low energy levels, a lack of pleasure in things once enjoyed, and in more cases than one would think, suicidal thoughts.

Hurting. Feelings explosion. Guilt. Sadness. Anger. Irritation. Blaming. Hate. Love. Obsession. Dying. Disconnection. Pain. Drowning while being able to see everyone around you breathe.

Everyone experiences depression differently, but in general answers, it feels horrible. For me, I didn't want to get out of bed. I slept a lot, I didn't eat much. It's just a really sucky feeling and I hate it.

heavy, painful, dark, lonely, stuck in a whole, crying, fear, sadness, pressure, lack of motivation,

It`s very difficult to describe depression to someone who has never been there, because it`s not sadness. You feel exhausted, devastated, lonely, crushed, trapped. . .all at once.
