Depression Quotes 2- Depression is feeling numb all the time. This feeling may become very overpowering at times. You hold on to life as if it were the only thing which is making you go through your day.

Depression Quotes 3- You might feel so exhausted and overwhelmed from everything in life that you describe yourself as being ‘tired’ constantly. Not even resting or sleeping may help you fix this feeling.

Depression Quotes 4- Colourblindness is a deficiency in the way we perceive colours. Depression is like colourblindness as people only see one side of the world and getting indulged in their own thinking. Like colourblind people are consistently being told how colourful the world is in reality, depressed people also are told how the world is much more than solely their thoughts.

Depression Quotes 10- During your battle with depression, it is important to remember that someday, sometime you will feel better. Someday you would feel awake and alive instead of wanting to feel awake and alive.

Depression Quotes 11- There are times when explanations, no matter how reasonable, just don’t seem to help.
