Depression

People who think depression is a choice, take a second to think. How would it feel to wake up and not have the emotional strength to face people? To think time is passing by with no real reason... To feel so alone in a room full of people. To cry yourself to sleep, then when you wake up you are exhausted from the night before and it starts all over again. You try to hide your feelings, hoping no one would notice. Why would someone choose that? Depression is an illness, not a choice.  It's one thing to repost this and another to actually understand.
