What was the longest time you felt depressed..or..?

Question

hopeless or just going through a rough time. weeks, months, years? was there really light at the end of the tunnel?

Answer 1

For about a year cause my ex left me right before our 3rd anniversary. We wasn't married but I loved her. Yes there is a light at the end of the tunnel I found it last year.

Answer 2

I was quite depressed from 9th grade on up to about senior year of HS. I was still depressed in the beginning of 2002 when I started college- but I started to exercise more that semester. And let me tell you, that was the first time in a long, long time that I broke away from my depression. I took a much needed break in the spring of 2003- and worked out alot more and just rested. I never felt so good. I had high self-esteem and happiness from 2003 until the beginning of 2006. It was amazing. Though, I started to become depressed again in 2006 and am still currently depressed.

I just think it's normal to go through periods of depression and joy. I think if I really work at it, I can experience the happiness I had in 2003-2005. There is always hope!

Answer 3

I would say I was depressed for a year.I'mm actually bi-polar and yes there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It may not seem like it now but there is. Keep faith and take your meds. Good Luck to you

Answer 4

I went through a depression for about 6 months. It didn't start all at once. I lost several members of my family, one after another. During that time, I learned that I had a serious illness which would require several surgeries. Shortly after that, a close friend of mine was murdered. I remained strong through most of that, and about a year went by.

One day, I felt this horrible flu like feeling overcoming me. I didn't have a fever, so I waited to go to the doctor. I took Nyquil for about a week and then decided it was the illness again. I went to my doctors, and after about a month of tests, they decided it was depression. They started me on Zoloft, and I was not thrilled about taking it. It took about a month for me to feel the effects of it.

I started feeling better, and one day I realized I was no longer depressed. I'm not sure if it was all Zoloft, or that I needed a change in me. I needed a change in my perception of what really mattered to me. Maybe the medicine helped. Either way, I stayed on it for two years and then decided to quit taking it. I taper off against my doctors wishes.

It's been four years since I went solo without the medication, and I've done fine. Yes, there was a light at the end of it all.
