What does depression feel like?

You're always exhausted. No motivation, you don't wanna do anything and you don't care about anything. You could just lie still in place and never move.

Having depression and anxiety is like watching everyone else around you swimming, while you're in the midst of drowning. You try to scream for someone to help you but everyone else is engulfed in their own thing.

Having both depression and anxiety sucks, they're almost complete opposites of each other which leaves you in the middle of an internal civil war.

its extra hard because you end up getting depressed about the things your anxious about

Sad, angry, hurt, pain, hate, negativity, pessimism. It feels like there's nothing to look forward to. There's this ache in the body that wouldn't go with any painkiller, a sinking feeling in the stomach that pulls you down, an overwhelming need to cry which wouldn't come out. Angry at yourself for even existing, angry that nobody understands. Fear of anything and everything, for letting people down, losing them. Hating yourself for feeling this way.. and the list goes on

It feels like being numb, except in your mind. It's like your almost too tired to gather up the strength to feel any emotions. You don't want to go out, but you don't want to stay in. It's not a good feeling.

Depression and anxiety can be very debilitating. It takes a lot of energy out of you and can keep you from doing the things you want to do. It keeps you from really enjoying life. I've found that going to a therapist once a week and going on medication for depression and anxiety has helped me personally. Sometimes you can feel like you are alone and feel like you will never get better, but it's not true.

It feels like you're scared of bad outcomes that you can't change by yourself, it changes the persons thoughts to negative ones that simply aren't true.

When you are depressed it's like you are loosing yourself.Nothing seems possible. Anxiety is like fear

We share a love and hate relationship with our beds. On one hand, we stay in our beds to feel safe but the anxiety keeps lingering in our hearts literally while we are in beds. So ironic! Complicated feelings.....
