It is not just a matter of feeling sad; discover an honest view of the mental, emotional and physical toll of clinical depression.
Trauma, Grief and Loss
Growing up crazy is what I believed was going on with me earlier than most, and some may say I was just lazy. In my family, old men were alcoholic and old women were crazy. Lazy meant I wasn't exercising or eating right, and I had too much time on my hands at night.

Depression Increased By 18% In The World. Why Are We Becoming Sadder And Sadder?
According to WHO (World Health Organization) figures, depression has increased worldwide. This is a worrying statistic. The truth is that we have all felt sadness for some reason. Death of a loved one, breakup of a relationship, unemployment, etc., but when that sadness is prolonged and there is nothing to help us remedy it, we can fall into a depressive state.

Depress one for five
As I type this, I want to be dead. This feeling may pass and lodge itself back in some recess of my brain, only to resurface whenever it bloody well wants. I have just Googled, yet again, the easiest ways to end one’s life. As usual, the first item is the number for the Suicide Prevention Hotline. I often wonder if anyone, contemplating these mortal coils and the shuffling off thereof, would be in the least affected by seeing this number. I hope some are, but I cannot imagine wanting to talk to anyone about anything when I feel as I do.

Depression on Deck
*The article below originally appeared on my personal Tumblr blog The Octopus Sleep in 2019 and I added a post from 2013, editing both to reflect my current circumstances and progress. Both reflect on what I went through when I was manic depressive for many years, finding out the root cause nearly 40 years after my birth. I must advise first that the video that accompanies this article may be triggering to others who have been through similar. It is not my intention for that to occur, but I want everyone to know just how BAD depression can get and the ramifications of toxic relationships that result from its aftermath. I mentioned She but it applies to ANYONE, man or woman. I'm putting myself out here just to remind others who are going through the fire: There is a way out. It may get worse before it gets better. Seek professional help and if you can't there are resources via YouTube than can help. Always consult with a professional before implementing any type of treatment."

Art.
Art. It’s all around us. It’s not just the picasso hanging silently in an art gallery. Art is loud, and it is the essence of the human expression and emotion. Art is what gives the flesh, bones, and cells a meaning. Art is beautiful in that it is boundless. Never too much emotion, never too much passion. The brain creates images, motions, sounds, and gestures in a way that gives just a little meaning in a world of greys and blacks. Art not only represents those that are giddy and untroubled. It provides an escape for those with nothing else in the world. It creeps from the greys and streaks across the blacks, creating bleak yet colorful and passionate images for those without a voice. Only the ignorant ignore the passion that can be found in the darkness.
