How would you describe depression?

There's no one way to describe depression. For me it was like being trapped in a bubble. Sometimes that bubble would get really big and I'd be able to have fun and suck, other times it felt like that bubble was going to crush me with its weight.

Depression is like a raincloud that constantly looms over you, follows you everywhere you go. It's a difficult, but not impossible, thing to overcome and deal with. Especially on your own.

I tend to think of depression as a cloud that hangs over your head, and follows you to a lot of places! I don't really know how to describe it.

Depression is like suffocating. You just feel completely numb and heavy. At times it's hard to even take a deep breath. You can't even move. You just have to sit there, and let yourself sink lower and lower into never ending sadness. At times all you can think about is how you should just end it all. How this never ending pain could finally disappear, along with you. At other times all you can do is think about how alone you feel feel. No matter how many people are around you or try to help you, you just feel so unbelievably alone. Nothing ever seems to help. Sometimes you just take it out on yourself with a blade, trying with every bone in you're body to relieve some of the pain. Sometimes you just can't stop crying. But most of all, you just have to lay there motionless. You can't feel anything except you're paralyzing thoughts running through you're head. You lay there hoping maybe tonight you'll fall asleep. Or on really bad nights, that you won't ever wake up..

Depression is having everything else in the world - people around you, logic, rationale - tell you one thing and a part of your brain over-riding that with negativity, despair and confusion.

The state of emptiness. Feeling overwhelemed with feelings of nothingness. A kind of sadness but not quite sadness. Just the feeling of emotional morbidity

Everyone occasionally feels blue or sad. But these feelings are usually short-lived and pass within a couple of days. When you have depression, it interferes with daily life and causes pain for both you and those who care about you.

It's a black hole that keeps getting bigger and bigger sucking you in, unless you fight it over and don't let yourself go over.
