Depression scares people off. It makes me laugh that it has that kind of effect.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Depression is a horrible, potentially life-threatening illness - but the lives it threatens are almost always those of the people who suffer from it.
I felt like I was the only person on the planet with this 'thing called depression', and I remember being frightened. I was knocked out and dopey, and I cried all of the time.
Depression is something that makes you lose your sight.
Depression begins with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to discouragement.
Instead of seeing depression as a dysfunction, it is a functioning phenomenon. It stops you cold, sets you down, makes you damn miserable.
I do suffer from depression, I suppose. Which isn't that unusual. You know, a lot of people do.
A lot of people don't realize that depression is an illness. I don't wish it on anyone, but if they would know how it feels, I swear they would think twice before they just shrug it.
Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.
Depression is an illness. It is not a ticket to genius. It is not an interesting personality quirk. It is horrible and all-consuming and really hurts.
I can certainly see how people are overcome by depression.
