Going Under by Shadderstag

Going Under

Shadderstag

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies.
(So I don’t know what’s real)
So I don’t know what’s real and what’s not (don’t know what’s real and what’s not)
Always confusing the thoughts in my head
So I can’t trust myself anymore

— Going Under by Evanescence


I’ve been in a bad Depression low, and it feels like no matter what I do I just keep getting pulled further down. And of course, with Depression (with a capital D) being an invisible illness, no one sees the struggles I hold in my mind each and every day just to get out of bed, to shower, to force myself to eat, to practice self care.

It’s exhausting.

    it is exhausting. three years of my life i spent like that. though it was more due to a self loathing that brought on the depression rather than a chemical imbalance.
    i hope you have someone to talk to when you need it. art sure is a good outlet when you are up to doing it.
    try to stay strong.
    -builds a blanket nest.- c'mon lets just be for a bit. waddaya say?

      I'm sorry to hear that you understand what I'm going through. I wouldn't wish depression on anyone.
      I do have an amazing support system, yes! Sometimes I just need to vent in a way that I don't feel is a burden on others.
