What exactly is depression poetry? This type of poetry helps depression suffers discover the things that they love to do and have in their life. These can be things like music, art or exercise. Depression is often defined by a lack of interest in the things that once caused happiness. These poems challenge those who feel hopeless to keep going. They might have previously thought their life had no purpose but reading inspirational quotes and poems can help change that.

Many forms of poetry are good for depression because they tend to be about something that everyone else either enjoys or is at least familiar with. By creating your own depression poetry, you can share what you are experiencing with others. For example, if you are having trouble sleeping, some people might read poems about the night's sleep. Others might read poems about times when they had fun all day and felt full of energy. There are endless options when it comes to creating your own depression poems.

I grew up with parents who could never imagine themselves as adults.
