You may feel yourself exhausted all the time and just like to pass the day. You may also notice that hobbies and friends with whom you ones get most interested are not that much interesting for you. When you are in depression all the things may seem to you hopeless but with the support and help of your dear one’s you can get better. During life when we lost something or not able to do the things we intended we feel sadness. Usually people take it as a depression while talking that but to feel sad & to be in depression are totally different things.
