Depression isn't just being "sad." I wish It was, because then it would be so much easier. Depression is when the things you enjoy are no longer enjoyable. Depression is when you feel no confidence in yourself. When you're wrought with anxiety and feel guilt and regret for everything you do and have ever done. You feel worthless and ashamed. But depression isn't just emotional, it's physical. Some days, I go without eating a single thing, some days I eat too much and still feel like I'm starving to death. There are days where I can't even sleep for more than a hour and spend all night tossing and turning. There are days where I pass out for 12-14 hours, but I wake up feeling like I just spent an entire day doing manual labor. My eyes don't want to stay open, my muscles hurt and my body feels too heavy. That's my depression, but there can be differences for everyone. Everyone feels and deals in their own way. Depression doesn't make me sad, it just makes me tired, more tired than I have any right to be. Every now and again, I suppose I just reach my limit and find myself unable to stop laughing at the dumbest things. Things that aren't even that funny. I don't know why. tl;dr srs stuff

Serious stuff indeed,but most of what you said i've went thought it back when i was 14-16(the darkest years of my life) and the only thing i didn't have progress are with games and food,everything else never bothered me again. Wish i can study more about this,if ever find someone willing to be my "test subject". Certainly is not my bussiness,but the only advice i can give about this is to focus on diferent things everyday,the brain works in quite a strange way,when you do/feel/see/hear/etc the same thing everyday loses its meaning,the same thing work with "love",you get tired of that special person over time,but when you focus on a completely diferent person(even objects,music,or phrases) you end up missing it,making you feel "happy" of being with that person once again.(i've just did a brief talk about it,i know it quite a lot more deep than this) There is a lot to talk about,and as you said,it doesnt work the same with everybody.You could probably meditate to pass some time when you get this kind of depression,thats my best weapon against it.
