And that’s the most frustrating thing about depression. It isn’t always something you can fight back against with hope. It isn’t even something — it’s nothing. And you can’t combat nothing. You can’t fill it up. You can’t cover it. It’s just there, pulling the meaning out of everything. That being the case, all the hopeful, proactive solutions start to sound completely insane in contrast to the scope of the problem.

It would be like having a bunch of dead fish, but no one around you will acknowledge that the fish are dead. Instead, they offer to help you look for the fish or try to help you figure out why they disappeared.

You know when you read something that’s so accurate that you don’t know how to words?
Yeah.

How I feel almost every night. D:

People, for the longest time, just have no way of understanding something that is completely outside of the realm of their own experiences. And then someone comes along with the eloquence to express something like depression for a whole lot of other someones who’ve never been able to say it. And a whole load of other other someones who’ve previously been unable to understand suddenly have an insight.

You just don’t know how much this sort of skill is sorely needed in the mental health world until you’re mentally unhealthy and you’re surrounded by people who are literally unable to see what you see.

Stuff like Allie’s beautiful-because-they’re-SO-true illustrated stories about depression, this is what changes the world.
