Depression.

It annoys me how so many people see depression as simply just 'being sad.'
Depression isn't just being down. It's not just being sad.


It's like being an immortal butterfly, trapped inside a jar. You can't die, you can't escape, you can't even fly around. You're just stuck there until someone else opens it. Like how in Greek mythology, Ares was imprisoned in a bronze jar by Otus and Ephialtes until another Olympian came to save him.
