How often? How long did it last? Are you depressed now? How bad was it? How old were you? The more details you give, the more likely it is that you will get BA.

Answer 1

I went through a bad depression a few tims. Twice I took anti-depressants to help.  I was 22, and again at 24.  Now I'm dealing with a low point yes, a hard break up and saying goodbye to someone after 3 years is painful, I'm 25 now and just trying to do all I can to bring my mood up and get to a better point in life.

Answer 2

Of course I've been depressed.

I'm depressed all the time.

no one age really... it's happened more than once

I credit it to teenage hormones, PMS, and stress

Answer 6

25 years of manic depression.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

It started when I was 13, I'm 17 now. There are some periods of weeks or months that really suck, at 15 and some of 16, my grades dropped dramatically, I gained weight, and tried to kill myself. I feel okay now, but some nights I just feel really down.

Pretty much it started when my best friend (in 8th grade) basically started ignoring me and then left to a different highschool. Then it sparked again when another friend drifted away (10th grade), then in 11th grade my best friend started dating my brother, and thats when I tried to kill myself. Then the guy I dated cheated on me...with 2 other girls.

Depression sucks. But I feel trapped in my house, at my school, having to see the same people I everyday since I was little. I want to start over completely, and never have to see that guy again...or my exbest friend. I need new people in my life, and then I feel I will stop feeling this way.

Answer 9
