Description
Depression is an ocean,unpredictable and unwavering.
Its depths are deep.
Its Highs are shallow.
Depression is the sky,
amazing and determined.
Its depths reach our soul.
Its highs touch the heavens.
Depression is the sun,
Mysterious and huge.
Its depths are unimaginable.
Its Highs wish to swallow the earth.
Depression is...me...is it you?

Depression is like the friendliest visitor who comes often. Great words!

I hope you can find happiness
I hope you are not romanticising this topic of depression as many people do
And it's sad as this topic has ruined my life (depression, not you)
Poetry is a great way to get all your feelings out and I hope you are on a steady path to recovery β‘

I do. Actually I did, but they says like: "Many things that makes you depressed is so easy to deal with".

"Easy" is a term I wouldn't recommend using towards someone who is suffering from depression.Β
It might seem easy to one person, sure, but to the other it might just be the biggest deal there is.Β
Perhaps you can find someone else to speak to about this, someone who understands the seriousness of this mental illness

I've always likened depression to that of the sea, like you have in your first stanza. Always crashing against you, threatening to envelop and consume without a trace or remorse for its actions. Nice work with the symbolism in your poem!

Yes, it is. This analogy is perfect. Sometimes it makes me feel like I'm drowning in my own despair or that my problems are monumental when they're barely annoyances. Sometimes I don't feel safe in my own skin. You hit the nail on the head.

Sometimes I feel like just killing myself. I hate my depression. It's just another weight on my shoulders that brings me lower. I was bullied throughout most of my school years, so I never had many friends. My parents divorcing mad my life even worse.

First Of All, bad grammar. Second, You have obviously never had it. It's a living hell. How dare you say it's not real and just an excuse.

First of all, claim bad grammar is argument of kids discussing to "own" the discussion, not to find the light of the reason.
Seccond, yes I had, how can you say it's clinical at the same time say it is obvious someone hadn't it just examinating the person by 1 line text? (stupid)
And yes... you are responsible for yourself, so get better and succeed inside you is your first task in your life! If you fail, world won't stop because of you.. Maybe one or another will cry on the day you suicide, after a week you will be forgoten.
Accept that. (This is my way of treat friends... i don't cuddle people to make them suffer.. I kick they ass to make them happier, but you choose what you want, whore attention to hang on others shoulders or grown up to support others.)

Well, I guess we all have our different personalities. Even though I'll say that it's a mental illness and yeah, human comfort helps. I'm just not that tough. And after a week I'll be forgotten? I have a family that cares about me. That is just incredibly rude.Β

I'm trying to find a solution! I'm taking anti depressants and exercising. But in the end, I do have depression. And I can promise you that it is NOT an excuse to "be a stone" or "whore attention". It is a REAL mental illness. Not an excuse for anything. So please, whenever you finally process that, be respectful.Β

So here go you some advice...
I use to be quite bad... and there was nothing that could me get better.. for years.
I use to have people around me to makes me distract from my life.. but as soon as I got alone it was terrible, grey and sad.
But I am a man... and I need to go ahead.
One day.. i was living alone and it would have football on the tv, live.. and I was preparing some thing for eating during the game and some beer...Β
then i sat on the sofa and I turned off the mobile for nobody distract me..........
o.O
what did I do?
Yes... I was fully well by myself, without anyone... That was one of the best nights of my life and I really enjoyed to be there alone.
Then I start to search what was different and what was making me feel good.
(well .. it don't work for others maybe... each one has it's specific things i think)
I CAN'T LIVE IN A PLACE WITHOUT TREES........
Too much sun makes me feel very depressed.
As soon as sun light get my eyes the day turns meaningless... so, my house need to be dark, and cold (hard to do that in Brazil by the way)
I am a winter autumn person.. I don't deal good with too much sunlight and dry weather. (it may be hot, but not dry)
So .. all that bad feeling was coming from things outside myself, from the environment and it makes a lot of sense. People are like water, that shape themselves according to the environment they are.
There is no "MYSELF", but "myself in one place" and "myself in other place".. I'm not always the same...
From them on.. my life changed completely and then I didn't need to be with ANYONE but i was able to choose who would be inside my life, and this changed everything.
But, for this to happen, I had to follow my life, stop complaining with people and foccus in what I have to do to keep life possible, work, pay my bills, make myself usefull for others, don't be selfish, be a good person (who could stand live being bad person???? or fake!!!!)
So that's my advice...
Notice... things outside you are so powerful.. they can change the chemicals inside Β your brain..
Here goes you an example..
Tells somene something disgusting and this person will stop to wish have a dinner.
Show a man a picture of a woman and his dick will become harder and bigger
Tell a woman his boyfriend betrayed her and she will become sad and will cry.
So... all those information can change and create chemicals inside your brain without the need of a medicine or a pill.
(We have a speech here, that the best VIAGRA is to hire a 17 years old hot maid who dress a short dress)
DEPRESSION IS CHEMICAL yes.. but you can have this chemical you need just giving to your brain the right information and your brain creates it by itself, it's the best way.
So.. easily speaking.. Try to do what you likes to do.. something that gives you pleasure even when you are alone.
For me, it was be among the trees, shade, no sun, low light... and my brain had produced so much good feeling that I tell you I am the most happy and positive person you can find.
Try to find your way.
It took me so long to write this all, so don't waste, maybe no one will ever tell you this again because it's not scientific, but personal experience. (by the way science would just tell you to go to a doctor, PAY, then receive a direction to by a pill and PAY again, but you can do this for free by yourself, just stop hanging on people's shoulder and lead your life as an adult, to start).
Bye

From the deep of my heart, I wish you become a succeful person with happiness..
But remamber, evil is one of the most complex gift god gave to humanity, without evil nothing would make sense.. without something to fighting for life would be not black or white or colour, but grey and meaningless.
Count on me if you ever want to talk of other things like share with me how is it the place you live, tv shows you like and things like that.

Who whispers sweet nothings into your ear,
Latching onto you,
and never fully letting you go

I don't want to die.
I don't want to be forgotten.
I want to be remembered.
Remembered by the ones I love.
But they will die.
They will be forgotten.
And I will be too.
I don't want to be in this cycle.
This endless cycle of pain.

I think you've managed to find the words I've been looking for to explain it to others.
It's beautifully put, well written well done, but at the same time, I am sorry you've had to suffer with Depression.
