It’s a lack of existence, especially if you don’t dream. Unconsciousness is bliss to someone who finds the waking world miserable. It’s not wishing for death.Īnd every day, the pain goes away for a short amount of time-when we’re asleep.
The first level of depression has nothing to do with actually dying. Check out the “Depression is my personality” premium hoodie. The lowest level (which is still a completely miserable way to feel) is not wanting to exist. The 12 Steps are nice and all, and they keep me sober, but I suffered from deep depression and suicidal thoughts since I was a child-this is clinical depression that only medication can address (usually). Thankfully, I’ve found freedom from depression through medication. In my experience, these are different levels of depression. There’s a huge difference between wanting to die, wanting to kill myself, and just wanting to not exist. This can be even more difficult when you’re dealing with someone who has been depressed while drinking or getting high, only to suddenly have the depression lifted once they get sober. It’s even harder to explain clinical depression ( major depressive disorder) to someone who has experienced situational depression (like how you feel after losing a loved one or a job).
It’s hard to explain the difference between being depressed and being suicidal. It’s hard to explain to someone who’s never suffered from it. “I don’t want to exist,” is so much different from “I want to die,” and actually being suicidal, but normal people… well, they’ll just never get it.ĭepression is a bitch, and I’ve suffered from it my whole life.
