What does depression feel like?

It's very difficult. Depression and anxiety are hard disorders to overcome. Some people treat it with counseling or medications, some overcome it themselves or with a little help from their friends and family.

I personally have depression and anxiety and both feel troublesome because you may feel anxious about situation and maybe you feel that way sometimes for no reason too

Anxiety - Like there's so much going on in one's brain, it's going to explode. Constantly nervous and it drives one nuts. Depression - Feel the same thing with the brain. Feel like crying and crying and crying.

If I can rattle your cage getting you emotional, it means you're still in one and that's the cage I'm trying to help you escape from....takes a ruthless unconditional love position to do that.

Everyone has an inner voice that only themselves can hear. Like our bodies, sometimes our inner voices can get sick too. Having anxiety is like having the voice within your head be under the weather; it's not quite acting as it should. It's telling you things that you don't want to hear, filling your head with irrational fears and worries. Even making a phone call is daunting thanks to your unhealthy inner voice; it tells you you're going to mess up or that you'll be bothering the other person. Your mind goes into constant over-drive thinking of all the bad things that could go wrong. It's very much a self-defeating type of illness and one of the hardest to cure.

You might be nervous around her because you don't want to displease but instead, impress her.

It's like this weight that no matter how hard you try, you can't seem to shake off. It feels illogical and causes internal anger. Because things that seem so easy to other people seem nearly impossible to you. Everyday is exhausting.

It is feels like your world is crashing down and you feel that life is useless and that leads to suicidal behavior...... It feels like lava is poured on you

To have depression is hard as you feel down and very alone as most people around you don't understand how you are feeling and don't know what to do around you. With anxiety as well you feel on edge and frightened all the time which can be worsened when you're having a bad day. Which can make you feel consumed by negative emotions

Having depression and anxiety is like being in a dark room, afraid to open the door because of uncertainty on the other side .
