People think depression is staying in bed. But sometimes it's brushing your teeth with tears in your eyes, making small talk with a voice that's barely holding together, folding laundry while your heart begs for rest. It's living a normal day in a body that feels like it's barely surviving. And no one sees it—but you still do it. That's strength most people will never understand.
