What does it feel like to be depressed?

Question

i think i am..im not sure tho

Answer 1

It differs depending on who you are, but from my experience depression is a sense of hopelessness about life. You don't feel like there is anything to look forward to. You are tired of life, don't enjoy doing most things, and getting up is a chore. You might have insomnia and over- or under-eat.

You basically just don't feel like you have a purpose for living. You don't feel you're making much of a difference. You don't feel appreciated. You might be upset with yourself for choices you made (or things you failed to do) and upset with others for not being able to do what you want. You can't accept life as it is or as you are perceiving it. It just sucks.

Answer 2

okay. so i was in a depressive state a few years ago. i felt gloomy all the time. i didn't want to go out. i lost my appetite and i did lose a lot of weight while i was depressed. because i was depressed from the way things were at home, i focused my energy on school. i did cut myself a few times because i liked the feeling of being able to control my own pain. i never wanted to smile. i guess that's what was the most obvious when it came to being depressed. i wasn't one of those people that cried a lot but all i know is that inside i felt like my whole world was crumbling apart and i was alone.
