Depression

How did it get this bad?

“Did I really lay here all day?” The realization hits you like a ton of bricks as disappointment in yourself sets in.

You don’t even know why tears are stinging your eyes, but you let them fall.

Motivation has lost all meaning, things you used to enjoy now seem burdensome, and your hobbies have become hassles.

If you could melt even further into the couch, you would.

You don’t want them to know.

Some days, the minutes seem like hours, while other days, your best intentions are met with the darkest cloud that blurs out anything that could have mattered to you.

Friends and family call to check in, but a conversation with someone who cares seems overwhelming.

They know you well enough to know when you’re lying. It’s easier to just brush them off then let them in on how you’re really doing. You won’t be able to hide this cloud.

Even if you did tell them, they wouldn’t understand. So, what’s the point?

Depression would tell you that there is no point. I want you to know that there is!
