Depression is like a black fog. It captures you and makes it hard to breathe. You can"t see anything except darkness and when you try to walk you stumble. You can feel the sting on your knees from falling so many times. There is no defining moment of depression, no one event that led the black fog to come over you. Instead, it was a slow procession of little dark puffs of the fog until all you could see was blackness. You wish you could get out of the fog and see the light, but you don"t know the way. You call out, but no one hears you. You hear laughter, but you are unable to feel the joy that laughter should bring you. You hear talking but no one can see you in the black fog. Sometimes people come along and pass you in the blackness. They do not seem to notice that the fog is dense and dark. They don"t seem to recognize the cuts you have on your knees from trying to walk in the darkness. They talk to you but you are too embarrassed to ask them about the black fog. They are striving in the fog, you should be able to also. You feel a heaviness on your body that you can"t escape. Lifting up your hands is even a trial because the fog is so dense. The world around you contains all the weight because on the inside of you there's only emptiness. You are hollow. You try to be hopeful and wait for the fog to pass but after so many days of waking up to blackness: it becomes your reality. You begin to forget what the world was like before the black fog crept in. You adjust your life to the fog and try to survive in the darkness no longer looking for the light you once had.
