What It Feels Like.

by TamingOfSeaWolves

do you want to know what depression feels like?

depression is like you have ink instead of blood.

every beat of your heart hurts

until you are completly numb.

it feels like your lacking something...

but it's not oxygen.

Just your typical geek. If you care to look deeper though...You can see the layers I have created. The worlds I call my own live in my imagination. Creating riddles and poems and lives and characters to become and get lost in. No one knows me, or at least the me behind the blinds. PLEASE COMMENT instagram=tamingofseawolves

<p>i&#39;ve&nbsp;had depression since i saw six yrs old. whenever i tell someone that, they always ask whats its like. its hard to describe not knowing what its like without depression, so i wrote this to help me explain.</p><div class="ginger-module-correctionBubble-onboarding"><div class="ginger-module-correctionBubble-onboarding-bubble ginger-module-correctionBubble-onboarding-top">To approve a single suggestion, mouse over it and click &quot;✔&quot;</div><div class="ginger-module-correctionBubble-onboarding-bubble ginger-module-correctionBubble-onboarding-bottom">Click the bubble to approve all of its suggestions.</div></div>
