For me depression feels like a heavy weight bearing down on me. It sucks the life energy out of me and makes every little thing exhausting. And yet, despite feelings of exhaustion there is also an inner agitation and restlessness that offers no chance of peace. It's a very physical feeling in my body. My limbs feel leaden. I have aches and pains and a general malaise similar to being sick with the flu. I don't want to do anything. And yet I can't stand doing nothing either. I have feelings of sadness and grief. Sometimes I have feelings of anger. Almost always feelings of self-hatred. I want to escape the feeling, but don't know how. I feel trapped in my own mind.

That's how I feel when I'm depressed.

Wishing you all the best (((((radio flyer)))))
Thanks for this!
