What does depression feel like?

Anxiety makes you scared and worried to do anything, even as small as going outside or going to a public place (for me anyway) and so anxiety keeps you inside a lot and for me, it makes me a social hermit (meaning I can't take the first step to talk to someone in person, I get too nervous) So that results to not going out, not talking to anyone, being scared to go out of your comfort bubble and doing something and so that eventually turns in to depression, (once again, for me. Everyone deals with it differently) and depression for me is when all of you energy has been drained out and you have no motivation to do anything and all you can do is think about how terrible your life is at the moment. And all you can do is focus on the negative.

Imagine living in a world where you're not interested by anything, where you have no energy or emotion left to do anything or care about anything. Living in this gray scale world leaves you with no joy or love but just your own brain constantly thinking about whats coming or whats happened, always worried about whats around the corner.

Over thinking things, not able do work on what you want to do, thinking in all-our-nothing terms and thinking everything is your fault

It's not a fun feeling. Depression makes me feel like I have nothing inside and I'm just sad. Some people experience it worse than others. But as for me when I really had it, it was bad and I even thought about suicide. I'm better now and I got stronger from it.

Anxiety and depression are like bff's. They both work together to make life tough. It's a challenge.

It's like your mind is trapped inside of a cage that only has nad memories or bad experiences, you feel like drowning and no one can save you, because you don't feel safe with no one. It's a lonely "place", something that i don't wish to people. It's hard to get out of there but i trully believe that everyone can do it.

To have depressiona and anxiety feels like lightning and thunder at the same time. It is a storm brewing.

Its a cage inside society everything goes on where you just stand still afraid to do something wrong

It sucks. With me I feel like they can both contribute to the other and that sucks. It can be hard to deal with sometimes but talking to a counselor or professional helped me.

To have depression and anxiety its like always being sad and nervous. For me i am always tired and i dont eat that much. With depression its like carrying around a 50lbs weight with you all the time.
