Top 10 Worst Things About Depression

The Top Ten
1 There is no promise that it is going away

It's really bad because I can't do it on my own. I tried to get better, but it's only getting worse. I really want to talk to someone, but I feel really ashamed.

2 Just about anyone can get it
3 Attempting suicide

This is the most important thing to consider: Never, ever, attempt suicide because it is one of the deadly sins. There's also a lot of life to offer. You are strong, and you can ask anybody for help. It is important to know that you can continue your life until it's over.

Please, don't kill yourself. Life has much more to offer.

I've thought of suicide before. I felt, and usually still feel, like no one cares about me, like no one loves me. But I know it's not true. Please, don't commit suicide. I promise with my whole heart that there's someone out there who cares about you, who would give the whole world for you.

4 It can lead to more severe issues
5 It's too common
6 It can affect the people around someone who has it
7 It decreases motivation

Learning new skills is much harder.

8 It can change a person's lifestyle
9 Losing interests
10 Loss of interest in things

I used to love reading, going outside, and creating things. Now, that's just a distant memory.

The Contenders
11 Sleeping
12 The pressure

Ugh, I hate the pressure so much! It just makes my anger bubble up so much that at any second I'm liable to snap someone's neck.

13 The sad emotions
14 The feeling that no one understands

No one even understands what it is like to just be bothered by many things. To have many weird habits and interests. To be slow and incompetent compared to everyone else both physically, academically, and socially.

To want and need to be alone for long periods of time to function properly and feel calm. To not have a desire to live and get better. To have depression so badly, to so badly desire a whole other life and want to be a whole other person with whole other relationships and just forget this current life and live the dream life in peace.

I know there are people with worse lives, but it's just how I feel. Call me stupid or insane, but it's just how I have felt for many years and still feel this way to this day.

15 It is difficult to come to terms with it
16 Hopelessness
17 Loss of focus
18 Anxiety
19 Bullies

The bullies only make it worse for you guys. This is why I hate bullies.

20 Low self-esteem

That's me on a daily basis. I act like I have high self-esteem when in reality I don't.

I have no self-confidence whatsoever.

I've always had pretty low self-esteem, but depression can completely destroy your self-esteem and make you hate yourself.

21 It can be difficult to open up to others
22 Regret
23 Being told you're just attention-seeking

People say I'm "fake depressed" or goofy and immature. They then say that I'm playing the victim and that there are people with worse lives, and that my life is just fine and I do things just fine even though I don't.

24 Insecurity

A year ago and this year, I was bullied. It made me feel very insecure, and I fell into depression/bipolar. I wanted to attempt suicide, but when I did, I stopped and felt how life was. It was beautiful, and I will get over this. I still have depression today, but it's not as bad.
