My depression comes in waves. I'll feel really really bad for a couple of days. Like so bad it feels like real physical pain sometimes. After a couple of days of this and crying and crying, I have a day of numbness. Not really better, but just nothing. It's like my body is just so exhausted from the process it can't feel anything. It reminds me of a child who cries and then needs a nap. I think sometimes it just wears people out until they can't feel anything anymore. Just all used up.
