I can really relate to this one!

That is how I feel in my depression 😔

It is like trying to dig out of your own grave or like half of you is always buried. Especially at its worse.

Yp.. looks accurate to me... :(

That captures my dread and feelings that I am trapped, but doesn't show the fear.

These are all absolutely incredible! Beautiful work. Disturbing. As they should be. Shows the world how we feel inside.

Looking back when I did suffer from major depression it was very much like this. It's like living in hell with no escape except death

Wow just wow. You've captured it.

This is exactly how it feels. Debilitating stress and anxiety dragging you down. Feeling unable to cope with everyday things. It's like everyone around you can see blue sky and sunshine but when you look up all you see is darkness and no matter how hard you try you can't see the sun. It's very isolating

Absolutely how I feel, dragged down by my own body 😞

This is it. This is how it feels.

I feel like I do have depression.. But my family keeps saying it's all in my head..

100% understand. Well drawn.

I know this feeling very well...when friends can't help you and at the end, they leave, because of frustration wich is causing my behavior in depression...depression is killing from inside and destroying relationships...

That's how I felt when I was depressed as a teen after my OCD disorder. I wanted to come back to life but was feeling too "melted down" to make any move... My therapist suggested that I did things I liked to make my mood better but I just couldn't find the strength... It only got away for some reason. Maybe the fact that I wasn't thinking about it anymore. Hope you guys recover and find your way back... Lots of support here and a big hug for you.

The moment there seems to be a chance of normality, someone else's expectations try to be exerted and I have to step back into this dank hole. I only feel almost normal when it's 3am, I'm locked in a room, and there is no chance on someone knocking on the door.

This is exactly how it feels. Debilitating anxiety and stress. Feeling unable to cope with everyday life. It's like everyone telling you that the sky is blue but no matter how much you stare at it it still looks black to you and there's no way for you to see the blue sky everyone talks about. Feeling trapped, cornered and the only escape is suicide.

So true

I always said it feels like I am being sucked into a black vortex, hanging on to edge with my fingernails trying to claw my way out. This drawing is perfect.

Haha a lot of days :/

I think of it more as standing, looking up at the distant light, with a heavy weight around my neck and shoulders, from the bottom of a deep well.

That's me!

This explains it perfectly ☹️️

That's pretty much how it feels.

I'm bipolar.......so yeah......

I feel like this 95 days out of 100 😢

I have major depression and this is what it feels like

Wow, I think you got that one spot on. I could almost feel that. god.

So f*****g accurate

Nailed it.

These are beautiful. thank you for these.

You should create a illustration for Gender Dysphoria. That's what I have. BTW, love the artwork presented here. Describes exactly what I'm going through.

This is more accurate than any words could be.

Yes stuck in something very sticky and can't get out of the dark deep hole

You have precisely manage to accurately describe how I feel on a daily basis.

I see, everyone has their own problem and their own depression. wish you all well.

Thank you. This feels and looks dead on. My heart now breaks for those with the other pictured illnesses. Thank you for sharing!

Not anything at all like what my major depression feels like

This is completely spot on! I've climbed out of the hole only to be buried from the waist up. And with every move forward you sink deeper back into the abyss....

I felt very depressed for a while, thanks God I went to see a therapist, she did help, not only by listening but because she recommended me an antidepressant, I felt so much better after 3 weeks or so, she explained that we are like batteries, we hold so much stress that we ended up depleted of whatever chemical in our brain, now I don't take it, depression us terrible, wish everyone happiness and hope

Accurate.

Can you make one for seasonal affect disorder?

For me, the severe depression has caused me to regress to the emotional state of a toddler. I don't watch tv, and when things get to be too much to bear, I go to open-world RPGs to escape reality. But, if something happens to my internet, I start shaking and, when I used to have issues with my computer, it would cause me to cry like an baby. I would be inconsolable and thinking would be impossible.

Cheer up

Disturbing. But this is how I feel when going through a major episode. One should wish for that others could see you like that.

Wow. This is.exactly the creature screaming in my head. Am just in awe of your understanding and talent.

This EXACTLY what it feels like, so impressed with this. the only thing missing is the large weight crushing your chest.

I both recognize and don't recognize this. When I'm not on my meds I'll have periods like this, heavy and sucked into a motionless void, but most of the time I'd rathe BE pulled down. I don't fight it, in some ways it feels comforting. Safe. And then I'll have bouts of grief/guilt that I'm allowing it to happen. Depression is very different for everyone, and it can be cery hard for outsiders to understand, because of that.

You do not have to go through this alone! Please check out my page for anyone who is suffering from Mental Health, Substance Abuse, Disease, Disability, Bullying, Grieving, or any other difficult circumstances. I want to build a community of people who feel as though they have no outlet. It's a page based on positive reinforcement and a clear view that there are millions of people suffering from the same situations. Please give it a look, it's something fairly new, but I would love to expand it into something extraordinary. If we can share our stories, more people will do the same and we can bring awareness to these causes and hopefully help build funding for more research! The page is called MindFelt, link is on the bottom! https://www.facebook.com/MindFeltHaven/?fref=ts

The struggle is so perfectly illustrated. To be brought down by your own mind and body, then feeling stuck there. Love the face because it's a so badly you want someone to understand but you're so deep in it seems impossible
