In the past people told me that they suffer from depresion, and while I wish I could relate to them and empathize with them, I'm not sure that I've ever felt the same thing. I have, in the past, been overly saddened at the thought that only I existed, even to the point of crying and feeling great discomfort in my heart. But I don't know if that counts as depression. At that time I was not suicidal, but that distress lasted for many months.

So precisely what does depression feel like?
