Blocked by the Walls of Depression

What is this wall that I can’t jump?  The depression that I feel is like weights shackled to my legs.  I pull and pull, trying to move forward, but to no avail.  The insidious thing about depression is that it creates a lack of desire in the mind to do the very things that will heal me.  Depression muffles the will.  Depression is mentally exhausting; it makes a person feel as if they can’t take one more step or do one more thing.  It is no surprise that people struggling with depression want to do nothing more than sleep.
