Most people don’t understand the difference between “the blues”, situational depression, and clinical depression. I’ve suffered from clinical depression for as long as I can remember. I ain’t sad cause someone stole my cookie. I ain’t sad because I went through a breakup. I’m just sad all the time even “life is perfect”. You wouldn’t be able to tell because people with my condition are masters and smiling, laughing, to fool people. You’d never know I was sad unless I told you. That’s why no one could predict my two suicide attempts.
Clinical Depression is a real thing. No amount of “just be happy” or “find god” will change that. The brain is an organ that gets sick just like any other organ.
If you see me… no matter how much I’m laughing or smiling or joking, know that inside I’m really crying.
