The Year I Wasn't There

2018 is a total blur for me: I spent all of it grappling with clinical depression and finding the right medication by trial and error.
Most of the time I felt my body was a mass of bones totally empty of any vital energy and the only place I felt safe in, was the bed.
If I count the hours I spent lying down, they far surpass the ones standing upright.

People seem far away, no one seems to really understand or care and everybody seems impatient with your state.
All your sense of guilt for being ill is projected onto the people witnessing your weakness.
Depression is utterly isolating.

I wanted to share my experience so that whoever needs it can find a tiny bit of solace in knowing they are not alone.
