If depression had a scent, what do you think it smells like?

cold concrete

Moths, cob webs, old dust bunnies

It would smell of... Nothingness

No drive, no ambition, no will... Nothing

mildewy drywall

That decrepit house smell. Sure it’s still standing and can house somebody, but it’s in poor shape and a place no one would ever want to live… unless they had to.

it's not going to smell good is it?
like blue cheese probably

Stale whiskey and cigarettes

Musty basement

Mildew and decay

Compost. Doesn't smell that great when you're right up close and buried in it but there's hope in compost, with care and nurture, seeds germinate and there's new life. 🙂❤️

A jail cell.

Dull cold nothingness.

My ex. Js🤷‍♂️

Like what it smells like when strolling through a dark forest after it rains and you can smell the rotting branches, rays of light creeping through little gaps in trees evaporating the water from the dirt and stuff

Teen Spirit (Nirvana)

Snow on a mountaintop

The papery taste of a communion wafer.

Like a mildewed, musty basement and earth.
Not unpleasant necessarily but lifeless, bleak, dank, monotonous.

Expired butter… if you never smelled expired butter, you are very lucky. Because I wouldn’t wish my enemies to take a whiff of it. That’s exactly how my depression would smell like

Something between Musk and a stale river.

Whatever the cold happens to smell like

Stale cigars and dirty toilets

The scent of burnt coffee

Stale desperation.

Nothing pleasant

That moustache looks familiar 🤔

B-O

tears

Sour milk.

Mold

A dark pit

A vultures crutch

Downy fabric softener.

Rotting meat.

Pickled eggs.

Dry tastless

A cold wet breeze

Unwashed hair 🤢

Ass.

Ammonia.

Mildew and B.O

Rotting vegetation

Manure

Pumpkin spice

Rotten lemons.

Rotten sewers

Dead skin, body odor, stale cigarettes and old corn chips.
