When we think of depression, often the first thing that comes to mind is sadness. But depression
is so much more than just sadness, and we need to talk about the different ways it manifests.
Maybe you are perpetually exhausted and don’t know why. Maybe your fuse is shorter and you lash
out at your loved ones when you don’t want to. Or maybe you are “numb” and rather than feeling
sadness, you feel nothing at all.
2. Irritability
“Getting irritated at the smallest things and always carrying a n egative energy about thinking
everything is against me.” — Kazi H.
“Being grouchy. I’m not a grumpy person overall and when my depression acts up, I am irritable and
get irrationally angry over small things.” — Megan M.
“Becoming numb to everything — feeling like I’ve lost all my emotions.” — Han L.
“Losing interest in things that I absolutely loved. I love reading and crafts but when my depression
got really bad I lost interest, I chalked it up to me being tired all the time (another symptom I
missed). I would say when I’m not so tired I’ll do these things or when I feel better I’ll do it. When in
reality if I had done some of those things I would have actually felt a little better.” — Cally S.

7. Lack of Focus
“My inability to focus on anything. I couldn’t even just sit and watch a TV show. I had to also be
playing a game on my iPad, scrolling through social media and articles. Totally not my character.” —
Whitney F.
