I found this online and found it to ring true for me on very depressed days.

Depression is:

Wanting to be alone,
but not wanting to feel lonely.
Being too tired to get out of bed,
but having your mind so full of thoughts you are unable to sleep.
Wanting to be with friends,
but feeling unable to socialize.
Worrying about everything,
but at the same time caring about nothing.
Wanting someone to understand how you feel and why,
but being unable to put "numb" into words.


Would anyone like to share, in your own words, what depression feels like or means for you?
