Depression is an often misunderstood and stigmatized condition. On top of the already debilitating state of being depressed, those suffering are often further upset and frustrated by others who have no tolerance, compassion or comprehension of depression. Here, BuzzFeed staff member Anna Borges attempts to illustrate the condition from her perspective. See all of her illustrations here.

Two years later, she was asking me if I knew where she could buy a whole chicken. Her usual grocery store had ceased selling them whole, only in parts.
I've plucked chickens, butchered sheep, cattle and deer. Caught and gutted fish... and fried 'em all up in a pan, and consider these skills valuable, in that I can never forget that something died to become my food. I'm concerned about what happens to us in this culture or any other, when we no longer make that connection.
