Depression can be as crippling as any physical ailment. Often times loved ones believe that a depressed person needs a little push or a reality check when in reality they could use a friend.

Below are some essential social and sentimental facts about depression that you should be in tune with.

I think about dying, but I don’t want to die. Not even close. In fact my problem is the complete opposite. I want to live, I want to escape. I feel trapped, and bored and claustrophobic. There’s so much to see and so much to do, but I somehow still find myself doing nothing at all. I’m still here in this metaphorical bubble of existence and I can’t quite figure out what the hell I’m doing or how to get out of it.

A little about me

When I look at my life now, sure there are things I would love to change or times I feel down, but it’s so much better than it used to be. My goal is to share my story and hope some can relate to it and hopefully not feel like they are alone in this world.

You see since I was 13, I was depressed, I had an abusive sister than taunted me emotionally, manipulated and tortured me mentally, hurt me physically and my parents didn’t know how to deal with the situation, so they mostly avoided it. I would always ask myself why me? What did I do in life to deserve this?

I felt like it was unfair that I didn’t chose to be given a life and then have no one support me to want to keep it. Having such an immense pain inside and knowing nothing would change for as long as I lived there was unbearable. My pain built up and whenever I would find myself gasping for air through my tears, I felt like it was impossible, I needed to get rid of the pain, I needed to acknowledge that it is real. I inflicted my internal pain externally, and it helped me in that moment, it didn’t hurt me but calmed me. I remember how I would almost automatically stop crying, get up from the floor and go on with my day. It started on my leg and eventually went to my wrists.

A lot has happened since then, I went through worst but I still ended up better. I gave up, got a second chance, and tried again. This time I’m here to stay. I am currently 21 years old, I live on my own and support myself, I have a career and I’m good at what I do, but most importantly I’m so much happier. It breaks my heart when I hear about others going through the same thing and feeling alone, having no one to talk to and feeling isolated. I’m here to say it gets better. I’m begging you to understand that I’m not just saying those words as words of encouragement but because I have experienced it, and when I think that I might have left all of this, I’m glad that I didn’t. Do it for you, because you are all such beautiful and amazing people and you deserve to save yourselves.

Other People: Why do you always wear the same pair of pants.

Me: I have three pairs of pants that look the same but have holes in different places.

Other People: So why....You know what... nevermind.

Me: *smug grin*

I'm not dirty. Just really favoring of red plaid bro.

i go through waves of productivity and creativity. i used to think i was bipolar or something, but i'm beginning to grasp my creative cycle better. when i'm most creative, i get extremely anxious because the ideas flow faster than i can physically create. and generally i'm so anxious it's debilitating. i cant leave the house or get comfortable anywhere or organize my thoughts properly. does anyone know how to manage episodes like these and channel them productively? -SB

I have just realized

Tumblr is literally the sea

It’s huge

It’s blue

And the deeper you get, the weirder and scarier its inhabitants are

On my 20th birthday I went out for breakfast with some of my friends and I ate so much I could barely breathe. Later on we went out to dinner to celebrate me and my dad’s birthday, I still wasn’t hungry since breakfast but hey food right? NO. At this point I'm dying and the waitress overheard about our birthday and came back with two slices of cake, I wanted to cry because we already had two birthday cakes ready at home. Did I mention I choked on a piece of toast during breakfast almost died and no one realized.. it was still the best birthday ever

I love it when a guy is trying to take off my bra and they struggle and I just wait for them to give up and once they do I manage to only take 0.5 seconds and it's already on the floor.

I was really high once and I went to eat at thai express and the whole time I was eating I was wondering how is it possible that it didn't cool down yet and once I was done eating I realized that they made it spicy

In a way I hope this is a joke because no one actually thinks they will be taken seriously doing this..

I like to think that through our lives, our relationships and our personal experiences, we lose a part of ourselves.. so the more you go through the more you lose yourself and the more we learn to accept what has happened we start creating new pieces of ourselves to one day become a whole new person
