Depression isn’t just about sadness. It’s a complex and often invisible struggle that affects how you think, feel, and function. Some days, it feels like you're drowning in slow motion, like even brushing your teeth takes more effort than it should. Other times, you might feel absolutely nothing at all.
People with depression often describe:
Feeling empty or numb
Losing interest in things they once loved
Struggling to sleep, or sleeping too much
A deep sense of guilt or hopelessness
It’s important to understand that depression doesn’t have a single face. It can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or personality. And while it can be incredibly hard to live with, support, therapy, and treatment can make a real difference.
By creating space for these conversations, we help break the stigma and remind each other: you’re not alone.
