I woke one morning and couldn't stop crying
Couldn't move forward and couldn't go back,
'Depressed' said the doctor - 'Depressed' said nurse,
Depressed stated the dictionary (di'prest)
Adjective - Low spirits, downcast- Lower
Than the surrounding places - pressed down or
Flattened or distressed as in economic
Hardship - Lowered in force, intensity
Or amount. That's what the dictionary said.
I am low spirited, moody, glum and
Low. I do feel melancholy and sad.
I am unhappy, morose and fed up.
Pessimistic, down in the dumps all day.
I am crestfallen, dejected with life.
Discouraged, dispirited, down hearted, down
And despondent and totally downcast.
I feel in a black hole, lower than my
Surrounding places. I am pressed down and
Flattened by my inadequate feelings.
My family is distressed and suffering
Hardship by my inability to
Join the path of life. Feeling good is lowered
In intensity and can be found in
No amount in any part of my life.
'Depressed' said the doctor, 'Depressed' said nurse,
'I AM A DICTIONARY DEFINITION
A FINE EXAMPLE, AN EPITOME IN FACT
DEPRESSED! WHAT'S THE POINT OF LIVING LIKE THAT?'

Indeed, what's the point? Even though I am not and never have been seriously depressed, my wife has been going through some stages of depression a few times (is better now too!), so I do know about it. You captured it perfectly.
btw, will do the same as James. He is right, there are so many poems every day and just not enough time to hunt through them. So I too will ask you to join my circle of friends, which makes it so much easier to find your poems.
It does affect those around you too. Hope your wife battles through.
They say, "When you hit rock bottom, the only place to go is up. sue, we've all been here at one time or another. When I'm down like this it doesn't last too long. I turn it around and I bounce back. But it's good that you're writing about it and getting it out of your system. Hugs from all of us to you.
Thank you
Been there and will be there without knowing when. I am OK at the moment. After experience depression, I realize it is such a blessing to wake up with a light heart. Thank you for sharing and nice writing.
Thank you for your positive compliments about my writing. Hope you have many mornings where you wake up feeling positive.👍
