Lets be real

Lets be real I'm 23 years of age what could I possible know

I know that life is hard yeah

most people don't really understand what depression is,

what anxiety is,

what obsessive compulsive disorder is.

But I do!

Depression is like drowning in a sea of your unhappiness sometimes not even knowing why you're unhappy but its there the sadness just lingers like a dark cloud. you try to fake a smile but well its fake. Its always fake so fake that you even believe its real. The numbness so overwhelming, all the time. Or its the pain that's too much. You feel too much or you don't feel enough that's what it amounts to.

The anxiety is thinking a a tad too much sometimes a single thought can or action can bring about a torrent of doubt about anything and everything. People laughing to loud as you pass by, they must be laughing at you. Anything can trigger an anxiety attack at any time, even when you know you can't control the situation. Then the tears come, the difficulty breathing, the sweatiness, and the clammy hands. Then the fact that you can't control your emotions simply causes more anxiety and then you shut down.

DEPRESSION.

OCD

Is it straight? have I switched off the lights? is it on correct? is it on the right order? is it sitting according to my order? have I packed my keys? have I packed my lunch? do I have my lucky pen? do I have my underwear? yes underwear. did I switch of the stove? I don't remember switching it on but I must check at least twice.

Need I say more?

There are many other things that many other people experience daily, think about the ones you experience and then have a little patients because they might not be able to speak up about it like I can.
