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

Since I was about 14 years old. I'm 23 (and have bipolar disorder as well) so for about 9 years so far.

Several years I can't even remember how many.

When I was in high school, that's when I started really noticing the popularity scale and started to see myself through a distorted viewpoint.

My whole life, since childhood. Have been in therapy for years.

For as long as I can remeber starting at about age 11, so 20+ years in some form. Its been particularly bad lately.

I was never diagnosed due to the fact I was too afraid to admit something was wrong with me but if I was then it would probably be 1 yr and 6 months.

As long as I can remember, to a certain degree, but the intensity of the depression has been quite noticeable within the past 3 years

when i was 9 years old someone called me a "fat idiot". i guess 9 year old me i was an idiot because i started eating less to the point where i ate less then 800 calories a day. it eventully led to sadness and depression later on. (ive had depression for 3 years)

I am 20 years. I have been suffering with depression since I was 12 or so. That's when I knew what it was but I know I have been suffering since around 6 or 7 years old. I have always been a sensitive person so being hurt, bullied and assulted have crushed my spirit to the point of no return. I'll never be fully healed ever again.
