I just had to repost this! I hope this get the exposure it deserves!

You sure it's depression?

I see you... In this shell, you see me stand, A figure, moving, yet so bland. “I’m not here…you may see me…but I’m hollow.” Echoes deep, a truth so hard to swallow. Beneath the smiles, a storm rages, Locked in silence, across unseen stages. Depression, a thief in the night, Steals the color, leaving only black and white. Invisible chains, heavy and cold, Wrap around me, in their tight hold. “I’m not here…” a silent plea, A cry for help, only few can truly see. The world spins, laughter, life, and light, But in my sphere, it’s eternal night. A specter in a bustling crowd, Screaming inside, yet outside, not a sound. “I’m hollow…” more than an empty shell, Trapped in a personal, living hell. Yet, in this darkness, a flicker of hope might shine, A gentle reminder that healing, in time, can be mine. To the hollow, to the lost, and to the seen but unseen, Your feelings, valid; your struggles, not serene. “I’m not here…you may see me…but I’m hollow.” Yet within you, lies strength to follow. Through the storm, a path, winding and steep, Promises of a sunrise, for those who dare to leap. For in the hollow, in the depth of night, Lies the potential for rebirth, for flight. So stand, though hollow, in the echoing void, For in the deepest darkness, you’re not destroyed. Depression, a chapter, in a story not done, For after the night, will surely come the sun. . . . #DepressionAwareness #MentalHealthMatters #InvisibleStruggle #EchoesOfSilence #HollowButHopeful #HealingJourney #StrengthInStruggle #UnseenPain #FightTheDarkness #PathToHealing #EmotionalResilience #BeyondDepression #InnerBattle #VoiceForTheVoiceless #SilentScreams ----

Depression, let’s get real for a minute. I see it breaking down into two main types: Clinical and Functional. Everyone’s fixated on tackling Clinical, but what’s quietly wreaking havoc for most is Functional depression. Here’s the deal with Functional depression: you’re going through the motions, but inside, you’re a mess. Dread, disconnection, a lack of drive, feeling numb. Sound familiar? At the core of this chaos? Unaddressed, festering anger, turning into a silent or loud rage. This is what’s truly pulling you under, masking itself as depression. Climbing out of this dark place isn’t about quick fixes or just talking in circles. The real battle is wading through those feelings, confronting the pain and trauma at the heart of it all. It’s messy, hard, and raw, but it’s also where healing begins. If you’re tired of the cycle, of feeling stuck in a fog of Functional depression, let’s talk. It’s time to tackle this head-on, to work through the mess and start healing from the inside out. Reach out to me. Let’s navigate this path together. You’re not alone in this. . . . . #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney #FunctionalDepression #EmotionalHealing #BeyondThePill #TraumaInformedCare #AngerManagement #InnerWork #TherapyTalks #BreakTheCycle #MentalHealthMatters #UnmaskingDepression #PathToHealing #DeepHealing #ConfrontThePain ----
