You know what people get wrong about depression? I grew up thinking depression meant you can’t get out of bed because you’re too sad. This is what I believed it looked like all throughout highschool and college. And because I could get out of bed I thought I couldn’t be depressed. And then the years went by and I continue with that belief. I’m 29yrs old female and I recently discovered I am extremely depressed. I get out of bed but I dont want to. I don’t have any optimism about the future and I’ve isolated myself entirely for well over a year. I just thought it was “a phase” of some kind.  But depression consumes you slowly.. and by the time you realize something might be seriously wrong, it’s nearly the point of no return. Anyone else feel this way?
