The difference between being "sad" and being "depressed":
- Sadness: Life sucks.
- Depression: Life sucks. It always has sucked, and it always will suck.
- Sadness: I don't want to get out of bed.
- Depression: I wish my bed would swallow me alive, so I could just sleep forever.
- Sadness: I want to cry.
- Depression: I wish I'd die already...
- Sadness: ... things are getting better.
- Depression: You'll never be happy.
- Sadness: I think I'll be okay again. It hurts right now, but...
- Depression: I'm never going to get rid of this... every time I think I'm better, I slip right in again. It's never going to go away, I'll always be in pain.
