Being depressed isnt just about feeling sad, unfortunately, it comes with a whole bag of ailments and the problem is there isnt a simple set of rules it follows, one person suffering may have the complete opposite symptoms to another. Therell be days where you feel like the whole world is crashing down on you, and then therell be days where you wish it would just so you can feel something. For some, you just want to hide under your duvet as you feel wave after wave crash down on you. Tasks that were once second nature be it something as simple as making a cup of coffee, or your coursework suddenly feel overwhelming and can reduce you to tears. On the opposite end of the spectrum, it can be the most boring illness possible. There are days you feel numb to everything, nothing that used to excite you does it anymore, be it sport, your favourite TV show or even a social life. You feel absolutely nothing or emotionally youre exhausted and you just desperately want to feel something, and this unfortunately is where self-harm can come in.
