How Often, In Your Life, Have You Gotten Depressed?

How often? Damn. Ignore the word "gotten" in the post. Imagine the word "been".

 

Damn these hamsters and their conspiracys...

 

Eh, I used to be all the time, through most of my teens and preteen years, but I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder that helps with that. I've been learning to like myself more, and I found love, and all that stuff, so now it's less frequent, but the feelings still come now and then.

 

Me too. I tried to masturbate my way through it...it didnt work.

 

ahahahahaha
Me too, actually =P
Now, if anything, I have to try not to masturbate.

 

Hard to Gauge relative to others.

Sometimes you mightbe having a bad day/week/month or think you are, but then someone comes along and it hits you, well maybe I'm just a little bit down as opposed to depressed

 

Very often. Can barely remember a day I wasn't depressed. The life is pretty shitty, I guess. But may be not...

 

Life is life. You can make of it whatever you please.

 

True. But sometimes its hard to be optimistic.

 

Yup, I'm one of those who used to get down a lot.. Then it turned into I would never get too depressed.. but when I did, oh shit man, it was a really deep depression! But lately.. I've just been great. I have anxiety too.. but it seems to be doing great as well.

 

Well when you don't hide behind things and take a good look at the world, being depressed is very easy and becomes almost a daily routine to where it becomes normal and then begin to question if you really are depressed anymore. The fact is almost everyone everywhere needs some kind of help whether it's financially to mentally. People who deny what is here and say "it's not that way- it's how you see it" are well....ignorant for lack of better term. I don't want to even begin on the idea of control, manipulation, and trauma in this realm of ideas.

 

I used to get depressed often, but not often anymore.

Btw nice options.

 

Only once, but that was 3 years of HELL.

 

I think gray hairs are sexy

 

The only thing worse than gray hairs is gray pubehairs.

 

Can i check for you?

 

it comes and goes never really goes away for more than 2-3 months

 

I dont remember ever being happy...I remember some happy moments...but not many

also ...I have some grey hairs..on the sideburns,the sack..and in my nose :ack2:

 

I have been suffering from depression in varying degrees since 1980. I suppose part of it is genetic, part from my abusive childhood. Things have been so crappily for the last three years or so that I have been quite depressed, but am working on it with my shrink who says when I say 'life is suffering' that I have a bad atittude oh well
