Common ways people with depression describe how they feel
People with depression often describe their condition in ways that reflect deep emotional, physical, and cognitive struggles. Here are some common descriptions:
1. Emptiness & Numbness – "I feel empty inside," "Nothing makes me happy," or "I just feel numb all the time."
2. Heavy Weight – "It feels like a heavy blanket is suffocating me," or "I'm carrying a weight I can't put down."
3. Exhaustion – "I'm always tired, no matter how much I sleep," or "Just getting out of bed feels impossible."
4. Foggy Mind – "My brain feels slow and foggy," or "I can't focus on anything anymore."
5. Hopelessness – "I don't see a future for myself," or "Things will never get better."
6. Isolation – "I feel completely alone, even around people," or "No one understands what I'm going through."
7. Lack of Motivation – "I used to enjoy things, but now I don't care," or "Everything feels pointless."
8. Physical Pain – "My body aches all the time," or "It feels like my chest is being crushed."
9. Self-Criticism – "I'm a burden to everyone," or "I hate myself."
10. Desire to Escape – "I just want it all to stop," or "I wish I could disappear."
Not everyone experiences depression the same way, but these descriptions capture the essence of what many people feel.
