Depression is something many of us struggle with, but MANY of us don’t deal with. most times, depression to me feels like crying myself to sleep & not being able to feel my heartbeat.
I asked twitter what depression feels like to them & the answers I got were so triggering, I decided to create a list & share some of the responses:
“Depression feels like_________.”
