Depression is bleak. The things that usually give us joy turn bleak. It’s difficult to find pleasure in anything. It’s hard to function. We can experience physical symptoms such as no appetite, disturbed sleep, physical aches and pains.
It’s isolating – you can be in a room full of people and feel very alone. It’s like being in a glass box – filled with a gas of ‘doom’ – whilst the world carries on around you.
In these days of depression, the colour of life fades and everything is in monotone – the flowers, the trees, the beach. Reading a book is impossible. Music brings no joy.
Depression is cruel. Depression is painful. Respite is hard to find.
