there are different levels of depression ranging from the sad feelings for weeks on end, or severe cases that lead to suicide, psychosis, and years of rehab. I have been depressed for about 13 months, and it is starting to subside because of therapy and medicine. everybody's depression is different so I will tell you how I felt:
I had days where I would lay in bed not seeing a point in getting up because I had no motivation to get myself up. I did not care about anything besides my sadness, and continuing it because it was the last ounce of life I felt I had inside me. All happiness drained, everything doesn't matter- just a dark place inside your head you sit and don't do anything.
I had several weeks in a row where I cried every single day, some days for no reason, just started to be overwhelmed with sadness. When I did get myself out of bed, all I could think about all day was getting back in bed and shutting out everything because being outside forced me to act happy, hiding my intense sadness. All I could think about the past year was the one reason that made me this way, the person who did this to me. I became obssessed with knowing what they were doing, who they talked to, what they say- I wanted anything else to fill my mind besides my thoughts of y i was sad, and how i was feeling.
I wanted to grab onto somebody else's life because I wanted the pain to end. Lots of panic went through my mind fearing i will never get better, feeling i will never have a place to anybody again, and I wanted to end it all, and go home to God. I prayed many days for Him to take me home.
I've actually not been able to cry in months because I feel as though I've cried all my tears possible; I can get sad, and cringe my face as though I'm ready to cry, and feel myself crying, but there are no tears.
Hope I helped. Any specific questions about this, you can email me.

There is a place beyond just blue. Mitch tells it real good. Don't be fooled by the old story about depression is repressed anger. Lies is all. Depression is from chemicals after you had false hopes removed. It does feel bad but later it can cause your language to degenerate and fears to appear out of nowhere.

Depression is merely anger without the enthusiasm .
everyone felt depressed, one of its factors is boredom and not accepting the concept of death.
the problem is a biological one, hence depression can be cured by some medicines ( it works !!)
well, its awfull, u just wait the day to end ! and depression is a leading factor in suicide ( more than 1000 people commit suicde every single day !

I had the same thoughts looping through my head until I couldn't make the simplest decisions.

it just drives you crazy and you feel like you can't do anything and it's just not worth it. You don't want to do anything but sleep and even then it doesn't seem worth it.
