CN #depression

I think it is so hard to communicate with people who do not experience depression because they cannot understand what it is, what it feels like to do the same things but like ... different.
How can I tell someone that I was lying in bed for 5 hours this morning not able to do anything but dream and cry and then after finally standing up and eating something that I actually tidied up the kitchen and my room ...
and put away some stuff that was annoying me since my birthday and then shaving and showering and feeling almost human and being so god damn proud of it that I had to write a twitter #thread about it?
For most ppl this is just another Monday and for me this is #NotJustSad.
Not being able to talk to most of my family and friends about it, not because they don't want to be there or help but because sometimes we experience the world so differently on such a basic level that there are no words.
And not to be mistaken: I am so happy for all the people in my heart who do not and never have experienced any depression. I am so happy that most cant know what it feels like because I don't want any of them to feel that way.
But this is all the more reason, why a well-written character in a movie or book with depression is so important for me.
Because I feel seen and validated well beyond what is possible when talking to my friends or associates or even strangers who share their experiences.
Any especially in this trying times, where we are forced to stay home for long stretches of time and cant see the people we love and where the bad news just keep on coming it is easy to give in and give up.
And I know.
I really , really know.
Because I am there constantly.
But please hold on.
Even if it seems impossible.
To steal from one of the best:

The most important step you can take is the next one.
And I am there with you.
Every step of the way.
And so are hundreds and thousands more who have walked this way and who still are walking it.

You are not alone.
