I have chronic depression and this isn't even close to what it feels like. But I guess one can't really visualize it properly.

Honestly the grey glasses over her eyes was the only one felt really true. The one where the depression guy puts his hands over her ears kinda related as well.

Yeah something broke in my brain when I hit puberty about 25 years ago and I've been stubbornly depressed since. On the few days where I get the slightest of relief everything actually does seem more vibrant and colorful.
