"Depression looks like a room. A regular office room you might see in the city. I can be in the room and it can be completely normal.
When depression hits, when I have an episode, that room starts feeling smaller. The walls become things i can feel no matter where I am.
I"m not claustrophobic, but when it's bad there's no room for the things I have or the things I am.
The room is a room that everyone else is totally fine in
but I don't fit in it, I can't find anywhere to put
my things down and there's no room for me and there will
never be room for me and it's too small and i can't move and

Room

New Comic! I asked MZ to tell me what his depression felt like for him, and he wrote this for me. He said I could show you. I don't feel my illness in the same way, but when I read his description and see him struggling, I can get a sense of how tight and confined and crowded it feels. I want to break in there with a sledgehammer and knock down all the walls for him.
