the world moves, you stand still

Depression…

Is more than just sadness—it’s exhaustion, emptiness, or even numbness that makes the simplest tasks feel impossible. Maybe you wake up in the morning and already feel drained, or the things that once brought you joy now feel distant and dull. It might seem like you're moving through life in slow motion while the rest of the world keeps rushing past. You’re not lazy, and you’re not weak—your mind and body are responding to something deeper, something that deserves care and attention, not judgment.

Sometimes, the hardest part is that no one seems to fully understand. You might hear people say, “Just snap out of it,” or “Try to be more positive,” but if it were that simple, you would have done it already. The truth is, what you're feeling is real, and it matters. You’re not broken, and you’re not alone in this—so many others have felt this way too. Your pain deserves to be acknowledged, and you deserve support, patience, and kindness as you navigate through it. No matter how heavy it feels right now, this moment does not define you, and there is always hope, even if you can’t see it yet.
