Thereās something I feel is not talked about much when it comes to depression:
Everything is a chore.
When it starts, getting up in the morning, going to work, doing housework starts feeling more and more difficult, itās hard to function as a ānormal human beingā, a lot of depressed people write and talk about this and the responses are mixed, but there are a good amount of understanding.
I want people to understand more. As the depression takes over more and more, itās not only the chores that are hard to do, everything that takes any kind of effort feels exhausting and pointless.
All the things that used to keep you going starts feeling like chores, even if you still enjoy them. Whatever used to make you relax, art, reading, sports, friends, sex, itās a chore. You start feeling nostalgic for painting or a show you used to listen to, those things are still there, you could pick them up whenever, but you donāt, because it doesnāt make you feel like you used to.
Writing this was a chore.
I can actually totally relate to this. This is exactly what life feels like when you're depressed, and it sucks. Everything that got you excited before, everything you love, doesn't simply make you jump out of bed like before. You either let it be because you feel like it's not worth it, or you do it "because you have to", not because you love it... I wish more people would try to understand depression, instead of insisting that you start to think positive and only focus on the good things. While that's all you can't do. Not because you don't want to, but because you simply can't do it. Not with a fucked mind and even more fucked up hormones.
