What is depression? What's it like? Why shouldn't it be a joke?
It's like drowning, but you can see everyone around you breathing.
It's like being murdered inside, but your scream is silent.
It's like you're unable to get any help, no matter what you do.
Everyone laughs at you. No one thinks that you're really sick. That you really need help. They make jokes about you. They think you're taking the easy way out and making something up to get out of doing the work. They don't understand that you're really sick. They can't see it, so they think it isn't real. They think your pain is fake. That there's no reason to 'waste money' helping you feel better when you're clearly just making it up. There are entire websites telling you that what you have doesn't exist. That you're selfish. That you're making it all up. That you just need to get over it, or make yourself feel better. No one understands. It's so, so lonely. And there's nothing you can do. You drown while everyone around you swims and no one can hear you screaming for help. Not until it's too late.
