My constant battle with feeling down and depressed. Yes, I'm talking about depression. It's like this dark cloud that just won't budge, no matter how hard I try to shake it off.

For me, depression isn't just about feeling sad now and then. It's not fake it's not made up it is really and it's like I'm stuck in a never-ending black.
