I have been living with depression for .....[share how long]
Approximately 8 years and I
I'm 63, almost 64, and it is starting to get a little difficult to recall my feelings from so far back. As near as I can remember, it started when I was quite young, probably around 5 years old or so. 59 or 60 years would be my best guess. A long time for such a miserable relationship with myself.
I'm 16, and I've genreally had a pretty low self esteem and been hating and loathing myself for about 2 years. I fell really deep just last year, and I can't seem to get out of it. I still deny that I have depression because I live in a country that doesn't have the slightest awareness of what it even is, and therapists and psychiatrists are scarce. Even if I had major depression, my parents would never take me, and instead say that I'm trying to slack off and its my fault I'm sad and unmotivated all the time. Which obviously just makes me feel more guilty and hate myself even more. I might really need help, but I'll never get it. Fortunately, my amazing friends 7cups helps me cope.
A flash of hope comes in occasionally, and I try to hold on to it. Who knows, I might actually make it.
At first it was just sadness, people said. But I knew it was more than that but I didn't do or say anything because I was 11 and I thought they were right. But it only got worse when I was 14. I thought I lost everyone. I was anxious the whole time and I thought I was going to die. Now I am 16 and I'm here crying and waiting for death.
I have been living with depression since I was 9 I guess and now I'm 18 lol I feel like every time I feel great, the next days or weeks are worst and it never stops and I can't continue to live like this I'm so exhausted
For 3 years now. Its come and gone but Ive always suffered with self esteem issues and its been hightened during school as I would worry about peoples opinions on me and my abilities.
Im now learning to increase my confidence and self esteem because Ive reached a point its damaging my relationships with friends, family and especially myself.
