April 3, 2018 – It can be hard to find the right words to describe depression, and in the pursuit of getting across what it’s really like, people write poems, craft metaphors, draw pictures and even play songs. There’s no “right” way to express what depression feels like — just like there’s no right way to cope and live with it. On Tuesday, comedian Patton Oswalt — who has been open about his journey with depression and grief after his wife died suddenly in 2016 — shared an image that not only describes what depression can feel like but gives some advice for those trying to fight it. Accompanying a picture of a rainy street in Paris, he wrote: If you can, make your depression look like this street. Bleak and rainy but there’s music and art and even comedy hiding in its lonely cafes and you can use those to escape.
