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

I'm not doing great today. I don't have enough to do at my internship right now, or at least things I can do right now, so I'm pretty anxious. It's bad enough that I feel hot even though the room isn't that warm. I don't know how to calm myself down besides using distractions. I'm worried about how I'm going to get supplies for the sewing group I'm doing and how I'm going to get everything prepared. It doesn't help that I'm really tired today. I just feel like I don't know how to handle things right now, and I think I've been more anxious than usual lately.

most of my life it is a struggle especially when i was in my late teens and nearly all of my twenties now in my thirties there are days where I really struggle but i have got responsibilities now so i have to keep going its hard especially when i have anxiety too

I've had it on and off my whole life. I am 18 almost 19 years old now.😕😭😰😓

I have been dealing with depression since I was fourteen years old and I'm twenty one now. Today I feel so much better I still have my off days but I haven't been in that dark bottom of the bottom hole in a long time. I get scared every day that I could just fall back in there. I just want anyone who reads this post to know that there is hope. We all have depression but depression does not define us. Let's kick depressions ass!

Diagnosed almost 10 years ago but been dealing with it for nearly 14 years... Since I was about 13

Almost four years. I hope depression dissipitates over time because it's been extremely hard and exhausting to live with. Every day is a new chance to make a change. :) Stay strong everybody.

I was diagnosed with depression when I was 11. Im now 31, and living with depression, anxiety, and ocd.
