What does depression feel like for you guys?
I just had a really long rant about it to my friend who has never been depressed.
So how do you feel about it?

fffff

I feel very fatigued, I have very low interest in things I usually enjoy. I keep to myself a lot, don't go out as much/at all, don't talk to my friends as much, just keep to myself a whole lot. It's a weird, lonely feeling, but part of the reason why it's so lonely is because of self-alienation. It's not something that I can always help doing; but I know what it does to me and how it affects me negatively.

Sadness, and constant anxiety.

[MrMundane]

A melancholy of emotion, or a lack of emotion, plus fatigue. Motivation suffers the most for me, I just can't find the energy to do anything really.

[Emiil]

I just feel numb. And lack of motivation.

The word "sad" doesn't cover it. I've felt sad before, but it's not sad, sad feels much more normal than depression.

I feel flat. It seems like a good word for it, I just feel flat, and slow. I don't feel like I have the energy for anything, and I'm really fatigued. Sometimes it gets to a point where I can barely read. I read a sentence and I can't process what it said at all, my mind just stops.

[bloodshot_eyes]

Feeling of emptiness, like I'm just emotionless. I just zone in and out of reality, I'm unable to concentrate on anything, anxiety, frustration. Depression really sucks man, it makes you feel like you don't even know yourself at all.

[Desuetude]

Lack of motivation to do anything is something that I really struggle with. No energy, constant fatigue and hopelessness. I agree with Georgia's use of 'flat', just going day after day aiming for nothing, as though you're walking and you keep walking even with no idea of where you going. It's extremely draining. Can't concentrate on things properly, zone in and out of conversations and I'm constantly fidgeting and unusually paranoid. I can tell I'm not like I used to be, other people have noticed that even though I tried hiding it for over a year, it starts to wear on you and you give up caring eventually.

[JJoshy]

It steals away everything that made you the person you were before, the things you enjoyed doing you dont care about and you dont see the point in trying to do anything to make yourself feel better because nothing helps.
Its like a huge heavy blanket that covers your whole life and it just gets heavier and heavier...... i get so tired that i want to sleep for days and days, the world seems to move fast and im going so slow, depression is a cruel illness.

[CastigateMe]

A strong sense of fatigue, not very constant, but rather feeling incredibly tired at random points throughout the day.
A lack of emotion, or at times, an overwhelming amount of emotion.
A constant confusion, feeling of worthlessness, and helplessness.
Anger, frustration, and such whenever I could not do even the smallest of things as I thought I should be able to.
