Metaphorically Speaking depression is: the awful, miserable despairing state of mind and emotion. These words mean nothing alone; as they fail to convey the wretched feelings that are particular to YOUR depression experience.
Metaphors; words of the soul, have been used by others and are a useful way to help describe how we feel when in our depression:
- Dark Night of the Soul
- The Blues
- Black Hole or Deep Pit
- Fallen into a Deep Dark Well
- Walled in … Caged in … Locked in …
- Unable to Get Out … Trapped and Cannot Escape… Stuck like Glue
- Drowning … Overwhelming
- Life is in Slow Motion
- In a Dream … A Nightmare
Depression of the human spirit can be like falling down a long, dark, deep pit. Sitting there, alone, frightened and isolated from life without hope, stuck and not being able to move, weeping in pity, shameful of the wretched creature you feel; helpless at times to ask or seek help! In retrospect recognising how worthless it all feels.
But then, there is a “spark” an experience that is truly felt by all of us – at some point! Whether angrily we cry out or shout for help,or as we take the last gulp before we sink deeper, drowning in all we see of our depression. It is this “spark” to seek help, that is our saviour. You must have this “spark” to be reading here now! It is this spark that motivates us to seek help, shouting up from the pits of depression.
