My depression feels like the flu without the flu. I get really sensitive too but I can keep face. Until I just shut down and stop responding or my suicidal/self harm thoughts get so bad that it's all I can think of and in-vision. This past winter was the first time I actually said the words "I'm depressed". Which is a big step for me. It's not that I didn't know but saying things out loud make thing so much more real.
