Depression Satire

792 Words4 Pages

A Fight That’s Actually Worth It Have you ever found yourself sad for absolutely no reason, or just suck in a rut that you couldn’t get out of? Well, combine those feelings, emotions, and thoughts and multiply that by 10. And just that alone barely describes what it actually feels like to have Depression. It’s a feeling that is inescapable, indescribable, and unbelievably unbearable. The best description of Depression would have to be a childish shadow, an ignorant pest that walks with you and waits for the perfect moment to strike. That moment is always the most unexpected moment, the moment when you’re most happy and at your peak. Depression comes and goes as it pleases; it has no schedule. For as long as I can remember I’ve been trying …show more content…

An unexpected turn for the worst, the destroyer of lives, a mega disaster. But most call it Depression. And as with anyone else, it came out of nowhere and hit hard. And to this day it’s a thing that’s been bothering me every waking moment of my life. Depression. It’s a terrible feeling. It’s not something you can just automatically know how to deal with. I’ve been battling Depression for maybe five or six years now. And in those years I’ve grown weaker and weaker from it. It shuts me down at any time, gives me frequent panic and anxiety attacks, and doesn’t go away easy. Depression is basically a monster, a pest, someone that toys with you until you can’t stand it anymore. It’s one of my many demons; one of which I can’t shake. The shadow that walks with me and tries to end my life. My number one …show more content…

I can’t escape my own thoughts long enough to hold a conversation with anyone. Constantly having to deal with the inner demon whenever he comes out to play. I can’t even focus on making myself happy anymore because i have to tend to his every need 24/7. Everyday i have to plaster on a smile that hides all the horrible emotions i don’t want anyone to see.

    Courting the Beast Imagine yourself in an empty, soundproof room; white padded walls, a lonely lightbulb flickering above. Depression feels very much like the aforementioned scene: desolate, monotonous, and helpless. Despite the wide variety of demographics affected by depression, our society devalues the physiological effects of depression and instead portrays it as a mood––or even worse––a phase. This notion is further amplified in our modern society through the way depression is depicted by pop culture and the mass media. For instance, a movie mocks a girl suffering from depression and instead showcases her as the anti-social geek who refuses to make friends––as if it were a conscious choice.

Eventually I began making friends, but they did not bring me the same feelings of joy the others had, so I never allowed myself to be any closer to anyone. I would often spend the lunch period hiding in a bathroom stall crying, not because people had been mean to me or I had problems at home, I just felt so deeply unhappy with myself that I did not know how to deal with it. The sadness was then accompanied by numbness, and I finally thought of a way to deal with it. I started inflicting physical pain upon myself as a way to distract from the emotional turmoil I had been in for so long-- and it worked.
