I know this might sound dumb,
but how am I supposed to describe a depression that's long been suppressed and acculmulated?
(I don't even know if "accumulated" should be proper here)
Can I say "pent-up depression"?
As the dictionary indicates, pent-up means being long held within something or a person such as volcanic energy.
