no words.

It is 11:46pm and I have no words

No words to describe the feeling I have right now, no words but I understand. I understand this feeling yet it has no description; not quite numb and not quite nothing. I did nothing this weekend once again, I only slept and worked.

Welcome to the young adult life Tabby! We go about our business, pretending nothing is wrong and feeling horrid inside most of the time. We live for the bright days, and some of us even have faith that the feeling goes away eventually, or at least subsides. I've been thinking about doing a depression post for a while now. To put my thoughts down, ironic considering the title, can be difficult so perhaps I'll start with the facts and see how I go...

According to the World Health Organisation an estimated 350 million people worldwide have a form of depression. Only a fraction of these people actually pursue help, whether it is medically or therapy. According to BeyondBlue it affects on average 1 in 6 people, more commonly in women. I wonder why that is.

My depression I do not know the cause of, it could be a number of things. However, I am trying to get through it and I am getting help which is what I would suggest to anyone who feels numb or tired with life (I'm not talking physical tiredness, although that can be a symptom too) or even if your emotions are just getting too much and too intense, seek help. Never self diagnose and Do Not Label yourself, if you suspect you are having a worse time than you really need to, seek help from your local GP or family doctor.
