So, imagine you are floating on water--in a pool, in a river, lake, ocean--doesn't matter. Then, you begin to get tired and start treading in the water. You're treading and slowly waving your arms and legs. You're smiling but you are tired and start to lose energy. Suddenly, without warning, you start to go under. You struggle to keep treading the water. You are losing the fight. You struggle to breathe. You fight, but the water is too much. You start to swallow the water, you can't breathe anymore and lose your strength. You go under water. No matter how hard you fight you can't get to the surface again. No lifeguards are in sight. No one you know is in sight to help you. They are all swimming or floating or having a picnic on the beach or just laying there on the sand. Now imagine that you don't want anyone to help you. You are on your own. That is all you can think. No one can help you because you are in too deep.
Depression is the water.
