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

It has been 2 years...:/

For 10 years now. I think I suffered extreme anxiety and low self-esteam till early twinties and then that turned into severe depression and loss of desire to live after that. I'm now 30 years old. Fighting everyday to keep going but everyday I wish something just ends all of this suffering in my head and I'm always close to losing hope but I don't have any other choice but to keep going!

It's been almost 5 years since I was diagnosed with depression, but I remember a period of denial before that...

Ive been living with depression for about a year. It got really bad in a pretty short period of time. :/

Since I was a in 5th grade maybe even as young as 2nd grade, I know I have always felt deep sadness, inadequacy, and a loneliness that no one's company or love has been able to help heal from.

I've been living with depression since I was 12v years old so I've had it for 27 years.

Since childhood- maybe around age 8-10. I started on my first antidepressant (Zoloft) around age 14. I've been through 2-3 moderate-to-severe episodes. I'm in my 30's now and continue to take medication. I think I'll always need it. I've been lucky enough to respond well to SSRIs & SNRIs. It's weird putting this in writng. Phoom.

Too fucking long

I've been living with my depression since I was 12, at least. I am currently 26. My depression is more mild than it was in my teenage years, but it's far from gone.

I mostly struggle with my PTSD and BPD these days, but there's no forum here for BPD or PTSD. :/

Depression has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.
