This is how depressed person feels:

Have you ever wondered

what depression feels like or if you

have depression do you struggle with

describing how it feels to others what

most people don't understand is that

depression is much more than having a

bad day or an off week it's a mood

disorder that causes constant feelings

of sadness disinterest and emptiness

because it affects someone mentally

physically and socially most people

don't have a good understanding of what

it feels like so to try to describe what

it's like to give you a better

understanding of depression here is how

some may experience depression on a

daily basis.

 

number one:
waking up exhausted and drained:

 have you ever stayed up really late and woke up feeling awful imagine that but every day often times regardless of how much sleep someone with depression gets they'll wake up without any energy this lack of energy makes it hard for them to get out of bed and do daily tasks that seem.

automatic to people without depression

you can think of depression as an

invisible weight that brings you down

everywhere you go you may not be able to

see it but it's always there making life

harder.

number two:
feeling as if there's no joy in life:

have you ever tried to pay attention to

a class you didn't enjoy at all

time seems to go slower and all you can

do is count the minutes until it's over

people suffering from depression might

feel as if there's no joy or pleasure in

their life at all.

making them uninterested in everything

in everyday life.

everyone has a hard time concentrating

on things they don't enjoy such as

homework or chores...

what happens when someone doesn't enjoy life in general.

likely they'll become unresponsive and

unfocused on the world around them so

far.

number three low self-esteem:

do you compare yourself to all the

models and influencers on social media

people with depression often do the same

but on a much larger scale it goes much

deeper than thinking that their body

isn't Picture Perfect instead they'll

relate it to thinking that they're a

failure as a person family member friend

and everything else they may see.

everyone around them living happily and

think it's their fault that they're

struggling of course that isn't the case

since depression is no one's fault but

just like trying to stop comparing

yourself to social media,

trying to stop thinking you're a failure

is extremely difficult.

number four:
 complicated relationship with th food:

do you ever eat because you feel sad

bored or lonely.

even though you're not hungry

much like eating to Pastime people

suffering from depression may use food

as a coping mechanism To distract themselves from how they

feel otto avoid feeling numb or on the

other hand some with depression may also

under eat.

they may feel too numb or uninterested

to the point where they see all food to

be unappetizing in cases like this it's

important you avoid phrases like you

should be grateful you have the option

to eat or you're taking what you have

for granted instead you might want to

listen to why they're not eating

healthily and try to keep in mind that

it's not something that can be fixed

overnight.

 number five Everything feels hopeless:

do you ever feel like things will never

get better, whether pandemic related or

not everyone can think of a time where

they felt helpless and hopeless.

but people with depression feel hopeless

not just about this state of the world

but about themselves as well.

they may think they'll never amount to

everything or that they'll never learn

how to cope with depression

this constant state of hopelessness can

lead to them feeling exhausted and

unmotivated all the time

number six: 
unhealthy sleeping patterns

ever had trouble sleeping maybe you were

tossing and turning because you were

nervous about a job interview in the

morning.

many people with depression struggle

with this every night.

depression is sometimes linked to other

struggles such as insomnia and anxiety

both of which make sleeping even harder

on the other hand someone with

depression could also sleep too much as

well since they may see it as an escape

from their daily struggles either way

having a healthy sleeping pattern is

important for your mind and body and

without one you're more likely to feel

exhausted irritable and stressed.

Number seven physical pain:

imagine the worst headache you've ever

had now imagine getting that around once

every two weeks while many people think

mental and physical health are

Completely separate they actually

Overlap in many ways:

for example people depression are more

prone to body aches headaches nausea and

muscle tension.

so while you may have trouble

understanding the complex thoughts and

feelings people with depression have

you may be more able to empathize with

them knowing what physical pain is like.

 take care and see you soon..
