Through the eyes of depression

Depression can be overwhelming. It can make you look at life through a rain-soaked window that refracts reality into chaotic images. It’s easy to feel like you are falling away from what’s important to you. Sometimes when the depression is bad, the world looks grey and colourless. It can be hard to make sense of things when you’re depressed, like looking at the world through a fish-eye lens that distorts your view on everything around you. It can feel like there is a wall between you and the people around you, making it hard to communicate how you are feeling and what you need. There are many ways depression affects your thinking, even making it hard to remember where stuff is, or to concentrate on things you once found easy. When depression gets worse, it can become harder and harder for anyone else around them – friends or family included – to help them see beyond their own despairing thoughts of failure or self-blame

Depression can be overwhelming.

Depression can be overwhelming. It can make you feel like you are falling away from what’s important to you, and it may feel like there is a wall between you and the people around you—even those who love and care about you. Depression might also make it hard for you to think clearly or remember things that happen during this time.

When you’re depressed, it can feel like there is a wall between you and the people around you, making it hard to communicate how you are feeling and what you need. You may feel that no one understands your situation or cares about what’s important to you.

As someone who suffers from depression, I have found that this is incredibly lonely—it feels like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest. I know my loved ones want to help me, but they can’t understand how much pain I’m in and why talking isn’t helping me. They don’t see the world through my eyes; they haven’t lost their footing on reality as often as I have during episodes of depression. As tough as it is for them to watch me struggle with such an intense illness, sometimes it feels like even more of an effort for me because being around others drains away any energy I have left after trying so hard not to let them see what’s going on inside my head.

It’s easy to feel like you are falling away from what’s important to you.

Depression can make you feel like you are falling away from what’s important to you. This is one of the most common symptoms of depression and it is often the reason that people reach out for help.

For example, a close friend has been battling depression for quite a while and I have seen her go from being a successful business woman to someone who couldn’t put together 5 minutes of positive thought or action on any given day. She became so despondent that she was unable to see how much joy she brought into our family’s life through her service as a wonderful friend, despite me telling her this every single day during those dark times.

Sometimes when the depression is bad, the world looks grey and colourless.

When depression takes over, it can make you feel like the world is grey and colourless. This is a common symptom of depression, and it’s common for people who suffer from this illness to describe their experiences as such. If you’ve ever experienced this feeling yourself or know someone who has, here are some ways to help them get through it:

Depression can make it feel like there is a wall between you and the people around you. This wall makes it hard to communicate how you are feeling and what you need. It may seem like they just don’t understand, even though in reality they want to help.

In this section we will look at how depression affects communication with others, including:

• How depression makes it harder for people to communicate with others
• Some strategies for being more open with friends and family when experiencing symptoms of depression

There are many ways depression affects your thinking, even making it hard to remember where stuff is, or to concentrate on things you once found easy.

There are many ways depression affects your thinking, even making it hard to remember where things are, or to concentrate on things you once found easy.

These problems with memory and concentration can make it difficult for a person with depression to do something as simple as making dinner or doing the laundry. They may find themselves forgetting what tasks they’ve completed and what they still have left to do. This can cause unnecessary stress, because when you have difficulty remembering something, you’re less likely to trust yourself or others’ perceptions of reality. You may believe that people are judging you unfairly or questioning your ability when in fact they aren’t at all!

When depression gets worse, it can be hard to think clearly, or even see anything other than despair and self-blame in everything that happens.

Depression can make you feel like you are the only one who has ever felt this way. But you’re not. You may be the only person who is experiencing these exact feelings, but everyone experiences depression differently and in a different place at different times in their lives. Depression is universal, but it isn’t static or stagnant—it comes in many forms and affects people differently depending on where they are in their lives and how long they have been struggling with it.

Depression can distort your thinking so much that you forget what is real, what is true about yourself, and what makes sense for your life right now. Sometimes when I am depressed I think everything will get better if I work hard enough at it—but that doesn’t make sense because sometimes even when I’ve been working really hard on something for years my life still hasn’t changed much at all!

Sometimes though there are things we do everyday (like our jobs) that aren’t exactly fun but help us pay our bills so we can buy food or clothes or whatever else we need to live day to day…and sometimes those things do make us feel good about ourselves even though sometimes they aren’t exactly fun either…but that doesn’t mean doing them makes everything else okay forever; sometimes things still suck even if we work hard enough at them over time!

All sorts of things can trigger off your depression, so it helps if you recognise when these things are happening so you can watch out for changes in how you’re feeling and thinking.

These are just some examples but there are many other things that can trigger off changes in how we feel or think – if you find yourself experiencing any of them then try talking to someone about it before they become serious problems for you!

Conclusion
