Depression is both the most godawful, visceral agony, and a numbness so
overwhelming you can't imagine ever feeling real again. It is an inability to
feel or be affected by anything other than your own intense pain. It is
frostbite of the mind. It is that dream where you want to scream but no sound
comes out. Depression is the feeling of walking through glue, both physically
and mentally, which reflects in the effort it takes to open your mouth to speak.
Depression paints the world monochrome and muffles all sounds. Depression strips
away your personality and leaves you two-dimensional. Normal human functioning
diminishes; sleep dwindles to nothing, food becomes an alien notion, weight
falls from your bones in a physical representation of your character and the
person you have forgotten you used to be. Depression is crawling on hands and
knees to get to the bathroom; it is lying in bed and wondering if you would be
able to move if the house was on fire. It is trying to carry out a familiar
activity and not having the first clue what to do.Things have been going well these days and I am neither miserable nor depressed anymore ( Thankfully! because of the meds!)
