I feel depressed everyday
undeniably at some point in my day depression will overwhelm and capture me.
controlling my thoughts weaving them with darkness and negativity.
Depression can burn out even the brightest of my bulbs, shatter the hardest of glasses.
Tears never do spill down my face because the emotion is so strong it leaves me feeling almost emotionless.Imagine the emptiness your bath tub feels when you drain it of water. Depression drains me of emotions.
Some days I can smile living seems worthwhile.
some days I just lay there motionless , weighed down by my spiralling cascading thoughts.
Lets make one thing clear. I do not choose to feel this way. I cannot just switch on my happiness. So do not call people with a mental illness weak because we are fighting battles.
depression is my battle and I will not let it win.

I love that you are spreading awareness. I too do so every chance I get. Fuck stigma and Lord help us in our darkest emotionless days. #notalone
