Depression is sleeping through the day in a dark room. Depression is ignoring calls & text from family & friends. depression is feeling lonely, but not wanting company. depression is a disease. It’s called the silent killer for a reason. If you’re still here today, I love you.
depression isn’t always looking and feeling sad. sometimes it’s lack of motivation, excessive sleeping, poor eating habits, unexplainable anger/easily annoyed, low self-esteem, no strive to do things you normally do.
Depression isn't glamorous or a fucking aesthetic. Depression is ugly, it's raw, it's overwhelming. It'll leave you in bed for days at a time with no motivation to even take a shower. it'll make you push away everyone who tries to help. It'll make you insecure. It's horrifying.
"ur trauma made u stronger" no.
my trauma made me traumatized, it made me weak, it gave me memory loss, it gave me feelings i've never wanted. i made myself stronger.
healing is weird. some days you're okay and you're doing just fine. other days it still hurts like it's fresh. it's a process with no definitive time frame. you just have to keep going and know that when all is said and done, you're going to be okay.
