I am a newbie to this site also but not to anxiety and depression. I'm on my 16th year of dealing with it. I understand about having no one to share your feelings with. To someone who has never had depression there are not words to accurately describe how horrible it is.

Especially day after day. Have you seen the commercials for anti-depressants where the person is holding a wooden sign in front of her face? The sign has a smile on it. She is out and about with friends but is depressed so she has the sign representing a smile on her face. When I can be out and about with people I consider that a good day instead of being curled up on the bed in a fetal position. I have learned that when it's at it's peak and it's unbearable it will not last. I hate making plans for future outings as I don't know how intense the depression will be that day. You are very correct "Depression Sucks".

Sometimes it feels like stop existing for a moment and start all over again just to feel alive. I have seen many motivational and inspirational videos asking you to go out and socialise but there's no point even considering it cause I don't even know who to socialise with. It gets super hard when you can't talk about it to your close ones
