"poets make tassles and toys with reality, dreamers make a new reality that they call their own"

Depression is a highly, almost overly used term in today's society but the darker side of depression is one that most people do not fully understand and hence shy away or judge the person facing it.
The accurate definition of Depression was; the feeling of being depressed, which honesty is the equivalent of asking what is pie and getting the answer a pie like food. Pathetic amount of respect lost for dictionary.com.
But when searching Depressed I received a more sensible answer; sad and gloomy, dejected.
Depression; the feeling of sadness to be gloomy and to feel dejected.
What most people don't understand about Depression is the more physical side of it or as most people say "cutting".
Cutting yourself or Self Harm seems scary and to most it really doesn't make sense or seem necessary and in most cases the person doing the harm does not really understand either.
Your body expects when you are hurt to feel pain, physical pain. For example when you fall over and scrape your knee it hurts physically. When you're hurting inside you don't feel physical pain  your body gets confused and that's why people sometimes find self harm necessary but don't fully compute why.
People today don't see depression for what it really is, they see it as a state were the person just needs to "pull things together", education on Depression is becoming more and more necessary as cases in young people are becoming more popular as well as effecting the building block basis of their education and basic skills.
