I often tell people that MDD ("clinical depression&quot is devoid of feeling, rather than being sad or melodramatic. All of the passion is sapped from your life; no more interest in hobbies, friends, goals, reputation... Life just feels very mechanical.

You just feel like life is so pointless. You basically feel slightly more than 'sad'.

Ah man it's horrible.
My entire family lost their job to the stock market crash and our savings were depreciated over night. Work was tough, and unemployment was high.

I don't think I've ever felt "depression" rather than teenage angst and "sadness".

A lot of teenagers seem to confuse the two.
I should have grown a pair and sucked it up (at the time).
Some of you should too.
