Answers:
Feeling depressed feels like you are nothing, with you waking up everyday with nothing to do with it slowly making everything you do very boring , then the days add's up feeling the same way over and over again, until you start to be having those suicidal thoughts running though your head, making you think it's better for you to kill yourself then to keep on living this wayWww@Answer-Health@Com

Depression is a very real symptom and emotion!. I myself have been diagnosed with severe depression!. Not a lot of people would know that about me because I am on medication for it!. And also because i do not like to show that emotion!.

The best way to describe depression is!.!.!.its as if you have hit rock bottom, and it feels as though you are in a hopeless situation when everything around you just feels dull and blue!. Many people misunderstand people who are depressed as having mental issues or "crazy" but in the end everyone is different!. Im sure there is someone close to you who is depressed and you don't even know it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

no its real!. What happens is a person stops doing things, feels lonely, alone, sad, unwanted and sometimes suicidal!. Some people do use it as an excuse at times but there a lot of real depressed people who are on many different anti-depressants to get rid of depression!. Thats okay you guys have never felt depressed, consider yourselves lucky!. Depression comes and goes at time as well so depends on how the person feels base upon the environemnt that they are in and how they feel of themselves!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I've never been diagnosed with depression(as I have never gone to the doctor for it)but I would think I am, because I've had suicidal thoughts for quite a few months, then stopped, then began having them again off and on lately!. I also used to cut myself and still really want to, almost need to, but I was forced out of it by family and have to keep it that way to continue life as is!.

Ahem!. Hah!. Anyways, this is what it's like for me!. There are days where everything could be going completely fine, but all of a sudden I just get this horrible pang of something like wanting to die, or just lay in bed and cry my eyes out!. I've had times when I've layed in my bed crying and thinking how my life has no worth, no point, and how much better it would be to be dead!. I've gotten better about that, though!. I also tend to feel alone and percieved as different and a freak even around some of my best friends!. I also have a huge amount of self hatred!. Every time I do something I find dislikable, be it an action or statement I make, I beat myself up over it and I almost always regret anything I say!. I also find that sometimes it seems like I can't talk to anyone about it because no one can understand what it's like completely, and I feel so alone because of that at times!. Honestly, I would be much worse off if I wasn't a Christian, because then I would ahve seriously considered suicide!. Maybe even tried it!. I know my case isn't as bad as others, but it's really hard to describe for me!. I hope I helped though :) And I feel the need to add, I'm not always feeling depressed!. I have my moments!. :DWww@Answer-Health@Com

Yea, depression is very real!. Imagine if you lost something you really loved, like a pet!. Or maybe one day you wake up, and you suddenly don't care for your pet at all!. Imagine feeling really insecure and self-conscious, always doubting yourself, getting anxious over everything, and having no will or energy to live!. That's how I can describe it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It is definitely real!. There are different kinds!. One kind and usually temporary is situational depression!. That is when like someone dies!. The other is a chemical imbalance in the brain and a person cannot help that!. That one a person just feels blah!. They want to sleep a lot, don't want to socialize with friends and family!. They just want to be alone!. Medicine can usually help that!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes it is real, and i'd have to describe it as an empty, hollow feeling in your gut all day long, like theres nothing there!. Everything seems dull and you adopt a kind of pessimistic view on life, many things seem pointless etc!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its real alright!. and it sucks! have you ever had a pet or relative die!? imagine how you felt then times 500!. thats what being depressed is like!. ok that wasnt the greatest way to describe it but its all i could think ofWww@Answer-Health@Com
