This Sentence Explains What It Really Feels Like To Be Depressed

Allie Brosh runs the well-known blog Hyperbole and a Half, famous around the internet for its unique illustrations and relatable confessionals. On the blog, she has detailed her struggles with depression.

Her candid voice, paired with the cartoons, capture the essence of what it's like to have depression in a way that few others have, as in her blog post/comic "Depression part two."

While depression isn't the same for everyone, this sentence from Brosh sums up an all-too-common experience:

At first, I'd try to explain that it's not really negativity or sadness anymore, it's more just this detached, meaningless fog where you can't feel anything about anything - even the things you love, even fun things - and you're horribly bored and lonely, but since you've lost your ability to connect with any of the things that would normally make you feel less bored and lonely, you're stuck in the boring, lonely, meaningless void without anything to distract you from how boring, lonely, and meaningless it is.
