How depression feels

People always ask what depression feels like, how it feels, what goes through your head.
Imagine just existing not being happy but not being sad. Day to day nothing feels like anything.
Imagine eating your favorite food, you go to eat it but you can't taste anything, it's just gone.
Imagine listening to your favorite song that you know all the words to, but not having the energy to sing along
Imagine having a really great day, nothing went wrong you should be happy, but your not and you don't know why, your just numb
Imagine going through the day feeling nothing, putting on a fake smile,
Imagine taking your shower at the end of the day but just sitting in the bottom of the tub curled up not doing anything but breathing.
Imagine looking at yourself to see a distorted image, you don't even recognize yourself anymore, what did you use to look like? Do you remember? When was the last time you genuinely smiled or laughed?
Imagine being emotionless but being so emotional. You cry over the smallest things, you have so much anxiety doing the simplest of things, but you can't stop it because you have been consumed by that feeling of hoplessness  there is nothing but a dark cloud of dread hanging over you
That's how depression feels
