“Is this what they call depression? Cuz I don’t know.”

My view is that I love what I make so who cares what everyone else thinks. Make art for yourself first, and other people second.

Let’s give this one more try. My brain’s having contractions from those late-night interactions.

They see me smile on Instagram, they think that’s who I really am. But you weren’t there you didn’t see my pain. Your love was anything but vain.

You came into my life, with all your baggage, treatin’ me like collateral damage.

They moved me to the end of the therapy line, saying you’re put together, you’ll be just fine.

I give. And you take. So why are you always on my mind when I wake?

Some songs I write and it takes me like a year to release them.

Many people think they will get rich overnight with a side hustle but it takes time and consistency to see results.

Outsourced Feelings was created by O’Dell as a way to connect with others around the world through music and emotion.

This year has been a mess, but when a pandemic gives you lemons, stay home and make lots of creative lemonade.

I’ve been outraged by the state of the world this year and the disgusting violence that happens daily.

Is this what they call depression? Cuz I don’t know.

I swipe right to get you off of my mind, baby all these other boys aren’t my kind

I feel those nerves, they burn like fire & no matter what, the situation dire.

Missing all those nights with your kiss & I’d do anything to fix this.

Some people don’t feel comfortable talking about their medical issues but the more people talk the more it can help others going through similar things.

Depression is a choice.

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn’t death.

Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They’re so empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not.

The more choices we give patients affected by depression, the better we will serve them.

Depression is the way my eyes have learnt how to close more than open.

During the Depression, or back when we were fighting Hitler, people didn’t have time to sue a company if the coffee was too hot. There were urgent, pressing problems. If you think you have it tough, read history books.

Eating chocolates or popping pills won’t reduce depression. Instead, one must read Gita. This will help relieve the stress and depression in life. It will help in dealing with challenges of life.

Perhaps the saddest irony of depression is that suicide happens when the patient gets a little better and can again function sufficiently.
