Depressed!

Once bouyant and alive, now deep down, down! A sad state derived, you feel mentally bound. Life was a utopia, now ha! no appeal. It's like a coma; alive without life's feel! Now the dead laughs; the grave now surreal. Their troubles now passed, you a derelict being! Everything thrown at you, yes, all at once. Up-moments are few, alive without the substance. Lashing-out gives little relief; tantrums escalates the depressed! Depression the emotional thief, it leave you upset. People things and places, all play a part; often neither leaves traces, treatment, where to start? Depression oh! it hurts; a soul in torment. A head ready to burst, depression is hell-bent!

Depressed by: byfaith Its a sad place to be ...Anyone who never has had depression is a very rare and lucky person indeed.But! thank goodness in this day and age there is lots of help and treatment for depression .. usually depression is caused by a chemical Imbalance in the brains ie::the serotinin levels are out of balance which results in depression.But!!with the right help we climb out of it thankfully or sometimes it rights its self without medication-or counselling etc- But while in depression we cant see the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Im glad your ok now. but!! yes! as you say many many are suffering in this state of mind.
Everything thrown at you,
yes, all at once. Up-moments are few, alive without the substance. Lashing-out gives little relief; tantrums escalates the depressed! Depression the emotional thief,

Byfaith your words are very descriptive of this state of being.
Certainly we must always overcome these feelings as a positive attitude will go a long way to solve our problems. Good write.
