How Long Have You Been Suffering With Depression?

4 years constantly, but I had periods of depression even before that.

I remember when I was younger I used to do random things like eat household products or steal stuff from the medicine box my Mum kept. I don't know if it was depression, more an overwhelming feeling of not belonging & not wanting to be there.

My 1st attempt was at 15, I was pretty low but I seemed to get over it. I was ok for a few years but when I was in my 2nd year at Uni it all went a bit wrong again & I struggled with various issues. I left Uni & again appeared to recover.

This time around I have been depressed since early 2006, there have been brief periods of respite during this time but they do not last very long.

hi there guys..actually..to tell you honestly..
I've been to depression I think for about 3-4 years now...
why I say this.. for ever since I marry this guy.. instead of having
that feeling of happiness...I have in me...the pain and agony..
of which I don't think I deserve...why is that I feel unlucky...
it's not that typical relationship...where couples should always...
if not always, then at least..most of the times...

but in our case..fighting and arguments were always, a big deal...
and that makes me think that I am unlucky...and that makes me
really depressed..but I'm coping it up... and what I did is... I think of
my parents and my kid.....

I don't actually know, to be honest. I really noticed it when I was about 13, but even when I was younger, say... nine or ten, I'd look at one of those depression information posters and look at the symptoms and think "yeah, it actually *does* sound a lot like me..." but back then I thought that kids couldn't get it.

After resigning from work I feel bored for 6 months and I am really depressed!
