I have been living with depression for .....[share how long]

I was diagnosed 12 years ago, but have had signs of mental illness for most of my life.

It's been so long it feels like I've always had it. I've been living with it for at least 16 years.

4 years

I have been living with depression for several years now, on and off with it's intensity and how I cope with it (or don't cope with it). At lot of the time I just exist in my day to day life without actually taking an active role outside of working (work currently is my life). I have trouble enjoying things I used to love and have no motivation to do extra stuff outside of work. I tend to isolate myself, don't often see friends or family, and don't want to go and meet new people very often.

11 years. But I

Diagnosed 9 years ago

I have been dealing with depression off and on for the last 2 years since I had my last child.

About 3 and a half years

Around the age of 11-13 , however, did not notice it until 14/15 and I am almost 21 now and still have waves accassionally but mostly I just suffer from severe anxiety , not too much depression once I took the time to evaluate what I want in life and working towards achieving that.

So, 7-10 years of dealing with depression

About 9 years
