Depression literally bores a hole into my chest. I can physically feel the sadness and anxiety taking a toll on my body. Thoughts rattle around in my brain but they seem incomplete and scattered. The tears lie behind my eyelids but refuse to let go, so the pressure continues to build.
Depression feels like a weight on my chest. Every breath takes tremendous effort. After 5 minutes I am worn out. After 10 minutes I want to quit.
Depression goes away when I lie down and sleep. But even in my dreams those sad, horribly negative thoughts persist. I awaken with a start and the nightmare thoughts come flooding back.
I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time, Cindy. I wish I could make it go away.
