@ OP
Wonderful post Mama.
I agree with you Rob, that depression is something impossible to understand unless you have experienced it.
I have experienced it in the past and attempted suicide once. I haven't felt it for years thankfully.
Here's how I would define depression, in my own words:
It's when you experience chronic sadness, despair or emptiness that occurs without any reason at all and yet still intensifies even further when there actually is a reason. When you just want the world to go away and you want your brain to turn off forever. When you feel unloved, unwanted and completely pathetic. When it either feels like you are indifferent to death at the best and at the worst you crave it like it's the most appealing thing in the world.
