I'm falling apart. I'm barely breathing.

Depression is hard. Duh, of course. Part of what makes it so hard is that most people don't understand. They ask you, why are you sad? I wish I knew is my answer. It's the truth but it almost seems like it makes people angry. If you're life isn't a tale of woe and trauma they think you have no reason to be sad. So mostly I pretend to be okay.

Depression

I'm sorry to hear that wherever you're living at, people don't understand what depression is. But you're not alone. Many of my friends have suffered through it, and there is no reason for it besides it being depression. It's not sadness. It's different. It's something that you can't shake off because it's not circumstantial. From everyone that I've known who have dealt with it, something that's helpful is therapy and/or support groups
