***Depression is an illness! Not an emotion!***
You know what depression is, right? If not I will tell you. You know those days when you feel really down, and low, but worse then sadness? That's basicly depression.
Depress
-To press down; let fall; lower.-To lessen the activity, value, or the like of; make dull, as trade, etc.-To lower pitch of, as the voice.-To sadden.
Depression
-Act of depressing; state of being depressed.-That which is depressed or is made by depressing, as a hollow.
The word Depress, of depression means to feel so low, in like a "sickness" Sometimes you just want to hurt yourself when you feel like this, but don't! You'll feel sorry for it later. As you know you can't turn back time, so don't do something you would wish you have never done. If you hurt yourself, it will effect evreyone around you, not just yourself.
When I get depressed, I find the source. If the place and/or people that make me depressed online, I tell them. Remind them a few days stright, I let them know the status I'm in. Just don't blame people. If they don't listen, and/or make it worse, just dissapear. Don't show fo a few days. They'll feel sorry for the whole thing and they will feel a little sad, so don't leave for too long. You don't want to make them feel depressed! If you come back, and nothings fixed/better, then leave again. Yes, talking things out does help, but it may also make things worse.
If this is a depression from family, or school, talk to someone. If you don't talk this one over, it will follow you around and get worse the longer it goes on.
Depression is an illness thar can cause someone not to think right. It can also cause you to say or do something you normaly would not do, like hurt youself, or someone else. Just try to stay happy, even if someone is pushing you off the edge. Trust me, I know what its like.
I can help if you need it
