Are you depressed?
It seems too direct to ask this, but it's best we pin point a feeling and send it off, it serves as an anchor for the person to know if yes, he's truly in that state.

Well, it's okay to feel that way, but I bid you not to linger in it too long. For it has dark tendrils, tendrils filled with lost hopes and anguish. If you're too lenient on not rising and shaking it off, it'll crawl around you, sucking out the little light you thought you had, injecting its venomous poison, filling your mind with only one thing. Death.

And the feeling is very overpowering, it gives you the sweet taste of nothingness, how easy it would feel to feel nothing

You finally have the sword in your hands, mind too hazy to know what's right or wrong. You take action and plunge it into your soul, then, suddenly, you finally see the will to live, the light that was once lost, and the feeling of regret sears your heart, and you gasp for a second chance

Fortunately, your sword was blunt, and you had a thick coat on. Pathetic. A sloppy attempt to end it all. But, your mind is clear. The tendrils dead. No more influence. Just you, with a taste of promise in your tongue. To hold on to the light and fight the dark
