🚩 Truths People Living with Depression Will Understand 👉 🙍♀️🙎♂️
✨If you are living with depression, I think these statements will sound very familiar to you:
1️⃣There is nothing worse than feeling depressed when by all accounts things in your life are going well and you ‘should’ be happy.
2️⃣You start thinking more and more negatively and while you often know what you are doing, you just can’t stop.
3️⃣You know what it’s like to sleep for a full 8 (or more) hours and yet still feel like you could sleep for days.
4️⃣There are days when all the money, chocolate, or love in the world couldn’t make you get out of bed.
5️⃣You know what it feels like to walk around with a smile on your face while on the inside you are barely holding it together.
6️⃣There is nothing more isolating than opening up to someone about how you are feeling and hearing things like “it is just a phase”, “you are just having a bad day” and the best of them all… “have you tried exercising”.
7️⃣You know what it’s like to feel completely hollow and numb even when doing the things you love most.
✨These truths are not to make you feel worse, rather to show you that you are not going through this alone. 👩⚕️
