As someone who has been struggling with depression and anxiety issues for over ten years, this kind of thread hits close to home.

I suggest, to anyone that has depression or has a close person who has depression, to watch this video from Ted Solomon (it has subtitles in multiple languages, if you need them) - it has one of the best explanations of what depression is, how it feels, and how it impacts our lives.

Now go hug someone you love!
