What does depression feel like?

What does depression feel like?

it feels like you’re stuck in the tides of a

roaring ocean, tearing you down with each and

every wave. it feels like you’re trying

to save yourself, struggling

for a breath of air, but every time

you get a chance to breathe, the waves

push you back down again. it feels like there’s

no hope in saving yourself;

because you are

drowning, drowning, drowning.

it feels like the waves are the weight of the world, and

they’re drowning you, pushing you down every

second you try to push

yourself up again. it feels like you’re hoping; hoping

for someone to save you, but the waves keep

pushing you back instead, you see, the waves

are the sadness,

and in each tide, the sadness pulls you in deeper,

and at one point,

you just let yourself

drown.
