Depression is
Infiltratory darkness.
Persistent lethargy.
Numbness.
A warzone of the mind.
Overeating and undereating.
A happiness plug hole.
Confusion.
A stalking black cloud.
Insomnia and oversleeping.
Fluctuations between feeling ok, low and suicidal.
Binge eating and a loss of appetite.
Isolation and loneliness.
Anhedonia.
An anchor.
Disliking yourself and the world.
Feeling controlled by negative forces.
Finding ways to relieve the pain.
Sadness hidden by a smile.
Envy and frustration towards others for experiencing a taste of happiness.
Grieving the loss of yourself.
Hanging on by a thread.
Hopelessness.
Mind fog.
Swimming in clothes.
Frequent aches and pains.
Emptiness.
Tearfulness.
Wanting to die but also not wanting to die.
Desperation.
