Sadness and depression are not the same, and depression is not just “really, really bad sadness”. Now keep in mind, this is a Smosh article about gifs so THESE ARE GENERALIZATIONS! Also, I’m not a doctor. Doctors never, ever diagnose someone with gifs. If you go to a doctor’s office and they are trying to diagnose you using gifs, they are not a real doctor and you need to leave. That said, here are some gifs to teach you the difference between sadness and depression.
Sadness: crying in the shower
Depression: not being able to stand up in the shower
Sadness: crying. Lots of crying
Depression: getting to the point where you can’t even cry anymore
Sadness: usually has a reason
Depression: no reason necessary! You’re depressed about everything
Sadness: crying while eating ice cream
Depression: that takes too much energy. Just eat whatever’s next to your bed
Sadness: falling asleep crying
Depression: inability to sleep or sleeping constantly
Sadness: will go away on its own
Depression: You may need professional help (and that’s okay!)
I hope I’ve cleared things up in the way only gifs can. But remember, I’m not a doctor. I lost my license years ago. Do you get the difference between sadness and depression now? Tweet at me and let me know @erikaheidewald!
